Halloween Gross Out: “Taxidermied Alive” Music Video by Barfth

Remember the epic Firecoat video? Well, the latest from YDGN Productions has arrived just in time for Halloween. Behold Taxidermied Alive by the most awesomely, awkwardly-named band ever: Barfth.

Just a warning and a reminder: the song is called Taxidermied Alive. So know your limits before going in to this one.

Choir: Bra Sizes vs. Grolsch Bottles

‘Tis the season to use the word ‘tis. And for advertisers to attempt a new twist on the holiday commercial cliché choir. Here we’ve got bras versus beer bottles. What’s your fave?

The La Senza lingerie Cup Size Choir even has an online component where you can use your keyboard to play the girls. Bonus points.

VS.

Grolsch has assembled “some of the world’s leading musicians” to use their iconic swingtop bottles in a rendition of ‘Oh, Christmas Tree.”  Bonus points for using the umlauted güiro instrument. (via AdFreak)

Jeremy Fish: Storytime With Creepy Uncle Fish

Last month Aesop Rock, with the help of other “multifarious” contributors, launched the blog 900 Bats as “… a creative resource for arts, information, and oddities.” Now the site is brimmin’ with re-blog-worthy goods. Here’s two episodes of a promising series from one of my fave SF artists, Jeremy Fish, Storytime With Creepy Uncle Fish. Created with Alexander Tarrant and Justin Metros.

In case you missed the Playboy above, these stories are not for the kiddies.

NSFW: Tron-a-Sutra

There’s nothing sexier than a glowing girl contorting with a double-chinned dude in his Tron Underoos … actually, everything’s sexier than this. But it’s my job to share it with you.

Not sure what move this is but looks like it involves a lighter. One thing’s clear, this is no Gymkata.

Apparently there was a PC game called Bikini Karate Babes 1 because now there’s a sequel—the respectably titled Warriors of Elysia. It looks just as epically cinematic as the name suggests.

Yes, this is serious. See the rest »
