The Soft-Shoe Silhouette

If you remember ye olden days of children's show The Electric Company, you'll enjoy this flashback from Pan and Scan: two silhouettes face each other and take half of a word, the first offers up the prefix, the second the suffix, both to a kind of a coffeehouse beat. A clip from the now available Electric Company DVDs. Also remember at the Pan and Scan site is this goof on the Soft-Shoe Silhouettes from the Family Guy.

How to Witness to Someone Who is Gay

Act now and let evangelist Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron show you how to share the way of salvation to a bunch of dirty pillowbiters without causing undue offense! To play at home you'll need about 20 years of repressed homosexuality and residual cash from a bloody awful 80s shit-com. Via Metafilter.

Judas Priest Turbo TV ads

Real Judas Priest fans know that they went right to shit after 1982's Screaming For Vengeance because that's when we arbitrarily stopped liking them and we say so, but that aside, these short television ads for 1985's synth-ifed album Turbo are possibly the greatest things we've seen since the last post we said "this is the greatest thing we've ever seen." By the way, did anyone not know Rob was gay before he announced it? Turbo has a giant angry penis on it for crissakes.

Bowiechick's Breakup

"Wow, what movie maker is that?" asked one viewer-- "Sorry about your breakup."

This self-produced lamentation over a breakup got an interesting write up in C|Net, from which we got the above qoute.

Toothpick & the Microwave

This is what happens when you put a ToothPick in a Microwave. As seen on Brainiac: Science Abuse.

When the 30ft worms eat your mom's face off, you'll only have yourselves to blame, Mankind.

Hans

"Hans Furfiut" is a second generation Swedish-American. He is a special guy with a special deformity.. can you guess what it is? Watch as Hans struggles to win the love of his high school sweetheart and the approval of his estranged best friend Gregory by participating in a grueling battle to the death."

We can't prove it, but we think there is a good chance we're still in Keanu's head from doing the post right below this one.

A Scanner Darkly trailer remix

The SUPER!ALRIGHT! media collective remixes the trailer for Richard Linklater's upcoming film A Scanner Darkly.
We're willing to bet this is what it feels like inside Keanu Reeves' head nearly all of the time.

Here's a spot for VH1 in which Iggy Pop wears a nice dress evidently borrowed from Jackie Collins and says something about elephants and we're not real sure what it all means but apparently we'll link anything with Iggy Pop in it.

Don't Sleep With Those Guys, a kinda hilarious, last gasp of the Lee Hotti thing. The Lee Hotti thing? Basically an amazingly lame photo popped up on a martial arts forum last January of some Jersey club squids, and it did a goatse/ o rly? `round the intarwebs. This goof PSA by AuralSalvation.com is, we dare hope, the hoofs over the shark. Also sort of funny is the plaintive wailing of wikipedia users less than happy with Wiki's decision to remove the Lee Hotti entry.

Gates is an excellent driver

"This is Bill Gates before Microsoft was declared an illegal monopoly in 1998. In this video Bill Gates is apparently being grilled by a tough government lawyer. This video was thought to be scrubbed off the Internet after 1998 by Microsoft -- so someone must be an insider to get this."

We find these sort of Gates Schadenfreude videos particularly amusing in the morning when we're dealing with the joys of our fine windows-encumbered laptop and all of those nifty error codes it knows.

Computer Networks: The Heralds of Resource Sharing

Computer Networks: The Heralds of Resource Sharing -- a documentary from 1972 on the network which would become the internet, the ARPAnet. Interestingly, this network which was initially intended for use by the military to talk to itself after the tits have been blown off of everything else by commies would be the current administration's idea of "safe for kids."
