The Mantis roller coaster ON COASTER FOOTAGE

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

What is it about humans and roller coasters? I have to admit I am one of those who loves me a good coaster ride. Raise your arms and free yourself from life as you temp death riding some monstrosity who’s only goal is to make you scream in terror. Here you can enjoy a coaster ride from the comfort and safety of your laz-y-boy. It’s really not quite the same, however the video sure does sell the Mantis coaster as a fun ride.

LOLMETAL

Well these Black Metal pictures were funny enough on their own methinks, but if they were not funny enough then visit this page for some LOLMETAL. Everyone hates the LOLCATS by now right? The fine art of taking a cute picture and adding a caption to funny it up? Ben is totally responsible for this post, and he did sort of offer an apology while confessing his obsession with LOLCATS in his email so forgive him this discretion.

Ali-G interview on Drugs: Pre Borat hilarity

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

Here is an oldie but goodie from tha Ali-G show. Sasha Cohen apparently penned a deal for his runway model reporter character…however Ali-G seems like a much stronger persona, he must be holding out for more money or something. It will be interesting to see if he can pull off any kind of a sequel to the Borat movie, now that the bag is off the cat.

Day Watch: Finally out in the US!

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

So this sequel to the awesome Russian horror film Night Watch has been out for about a month now in the US. It opened on the first day of Jan 2006 in Russia and was marketed as “The first film of the year”. Genius…You should see the first in the series “Night Watch” if you have not already, it was amazing and chock full of creative imagination, that missing element from most Hollywood films these days. I’ll try to report back on the Day Watch if it ever makes it here to the desert outpost.

Night Watch- Apple Trailers…(watch the condensed version it’s pretty funny if you’ve seen the film)

Attack of the Yeti: Yeti crab of the South Pacific

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

If you love science, and the idea of the abominable snowman you will be excited to hear of the discovery of the yeti crab. This crazy looking creature was discovered a little over a year ago and lives in the hydrothermal vents deep down in the South Pacific. Scientists had to create a new family of animal to incorporate this over the top crab. Enjoy the splendor of Kiwa hirsuta!

Here at Pork Banana we have much love for the yeti and science! Hats on for exploration of the hydrothermal vents……

Fat White Man Seeks Coffee…and some dude “IAN”

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

Can anyone help this poor fat white man? Stuck in the lobby of a coffeeless hotel, his computer slowly losing power, no outlet in sight? All while apparently coming down off a possible three day cocaine binge? If this Ian fella would just show up everything would no doubt be cool…can you not feel the pain of this fucktard’s poor assistant.
