Technoviking! He rules the beats of der streets

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

It takes a while to get going, but you WILL be rewarded. This was apparently filmed at something called the Berlin Fuck Parade…Meet the Viking leader of the Fuck Parade, we’ll call him Lars Uberling, bring him offerings, and he will protect your womenfolk, and intimidate shoppers with his pectoral techno fuuuury.

What? Some good investigative reporting?

Holy crap! This is some funny (ironic and somewhat infuriating) shit, watch a bunch of Texas legislators (I can only assume this goes on EVERYWHERE), some of whom are pushing to pass a bill to require photo ID to MAKE SURE YOU ONLY VOTE ONCE, are totally busted voting multiple times for other absent colleagues! Damn hypocrites.

Science Museum Launch Ball- Addictive and Educational

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

I know, I know, you insert the word educational into any game scenario and it’s instantly boring right? Wrong, check out the highly addictive game Launchball from the Science Museum site. The Science Museum website might be experiencing the Digg hammer right now so the site may be sinking rapidly, but check back, it’s pretty fun.

Slowest fucking news day ever?

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

This has to be one of the most retarded “news” reports I’ve ever seen…and I’ve seen quite a few. Watch this EXCLUSIVE, OUR CAMERAS ONLY, story of a pathetic drunk, who sounds quite a bit like Pedro from Napolean Dynamite, as he decides for some reason to play Santa Claus and climb down a chimney. He then rather bravely faces the wrath of the chimney owner…taking a few bottles to the face. This is some damn funny classic TV entertainment, but I wouldn’t call it “news”. The over enthusiastic eager beaver “news” reporter is almost as funny as the drunk dufus.

Funky Soy Sauce!

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

Ah man I want some funky Soy Sauce Pringles! That sounds gross as hell, but I want to try them…will someone from Japan please send me some? Watch out fo’ that Pringles Ninja he’s quick and efficient…

Are you prepared for the yolk invasion?

Monday, September 24th, 2007

Do you know what to do when the aliens come for us? Perhaps they will be white on the outside and filled with yellow goodness? Check out this classic skit from Firesign Theater courtesy of our buddy Ketogah, which will both inform and entertain you…ok maybe you’ll just be entertained.

Damn that kid can robot yo!

Sunday, September 23rd, 2007

Wait for the second kid in this video…not sure why the first one is even in there! This guy adds a whole lot of strange moves to the traditional robot dance. Must spend quite a few hours in front of the full length mirror…or maybe he just really is a funky tin man.

Dance Tecktonik- Look like a dork, have fun!

Friday, September 21st, 2007

Tecktonik is apparently all the rage in France these days! I confess I missed the boat on this one, and I will have to simply try to do what I can to spread the disease, in my defense Oregon is a long way from France…physically speaking. It looks to me as if these kids are playing Dance Dance Revolution except…without the ACTUAL game itself. They seem to be taking the rave party from the secretive late fly by night illegal warehouse, right out into the bright day light of the streets of France. It’s fun to see kids so uninhibited and..well having fun with music, some of them can probably dance, but that definitely doesn’t seem to be a requirement. Maybe this is doing what punk rock did for us with music…freeing us from the reliance on technical prowess! There does seem to be some moshing without the mosh pit going on? I don’t speak a word of French, which is a shame, so maybe someone can fill me in on the details…

Super Massive Robot of the FUTURE!

Friday, September 21st, 2007

Wow…if this is the attack robot of the future I don’t think we cowboys have much to worry about…it’s slow, wobbly, and you need a full crash suit to operate it, which indicates it may just fall over on it’s own at any given second. That being said I really love the cockpit shots of it rambling slowly along lording over the puny traffic below…you can see the appeal of such a thing. I think the artsy deathbots of SRL would take this thing apart in a NY minute.

SRL’s V1 here is an example of what the murderous robot overlords of the future WILL look and sound like, ah what a beautiful machine-

Sit and Fart in the Duck!

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

It’s funny because they are singing in Dutch and that sounds funny in English! That aside, it’s one catchy number with some really high tech costuming…
