WTF: Thundercat Vid Directed by Eric Andre “Tron Song”


If you’re familiar with Eric’s stuff, expect that you still don’t know what to expect. Whoa. (thanks, Mel)

WTF: Best Olympic News Headline/Photo Combo Goes to…

Wondered what my wife was giggling at. Looked at her screen and saw this on the front page of SFGate. The headline was gold but they really stuck it with the photo. While I’m handing out medals, “Kayaker given penalty by his mother” definitely gets the bronze.

While you’re reading WTF news, see all the Simpsons newspaper headlines in one video.

WTF: One-Legged Women’s Restroom Sign

I figured it out. This isn’t a sign for two separate restrooms. It’s for one, all-urinal bathroom. You know. So she can just lean on the thing. No? Is this thing on? Either way, I bet inside they have a sign like this.

My sister spotted this on a train in Skagway, AK. (Thanks, Pammy!)

WTF: Spend 9 Minutes Covered in Chocolate

As a chocolate fiend this sounded like a great idea. Until I watched it. Now I’d rather enjoy undrizzled oxygen. No, not the network.

If you’re not quite satiated, or saturated, watch the 7 minute Chocolate sequel and final chapter. More overkill performance art video from MARTYNKA WAWRZYNIAK on Vimeo.

For the original recipe for overkill, watch this.

WTF: Say Hi to Panda Cow

(No relation to Poodle-Panda)

Who knew the island of Doctor Moreau was in Northern Colorado? Ben the Panda Cow was just born there; on a farm in Larimer County. He’s one of 24 in the world. And worth about $30,o00. I want to buy one just so Cyriak would use him in a video.

Full story here. (Thanks, Mel!)

UPDATE: Cheers to The Week Magazine for
the Ümlaut shout out as “best opinion”.

Peep This: Muppets With People Eyes

Who knew replacing those funky white-ball Muppet eyes with people eyes would be so damn creepy.

Statler and Waldorf will poke your eye out if you don’t keep tabs on the Tumblr Muppets With People Eyes. Still in its infancy, you can see how mesmerizingly unsettling the effect is, no matter the character.

Mindfork: Something from Cyriak

Just when you thought Cows and Cycles twisted and knotted your brains, Cyriak‘s latest Something will screw your cerebellum six ways ’til Sunday.

UPDATE:
Cyriak also just contributed a new piece, Walks of Life, to the Showtime SHORT Stories series; joining the ranks of PES. (Thanks, FangFoundThis)

Spooky: Lynda Carter Dancing with KISS

For a moment, forget about Lynda Carter‘s see-through breasts.

Unlike the unconvincing CHiPs KISS Homage of ’82, the boa-wielding KISS clones are pretty damn convincing. Or are they the real deal? See the rest »
