Nostalgia, Youth Unemployment & Wesbo!

YAY! I get to have a lightsaber fight with Ashens….But first: Technology, people think it’s doing us good. But it’s not, it’s doing us bad. Before you know it we won’t be able to take a shit without the aid of an iPhone app telling us how to squat and open our bowels. So it’s [...]

“My Favorite Color” – Kutiman

The YouTube mash-up maestro who knows how to turn a bunch of strangers who’ve uploaded performances to the site into the greatest band that never was, is back in the room with his latest effort. It’s got a soulful singer, a French horn, a saxamaphone, cello, Native American flute, but no kitchen sink. Which is [...]

World’s Greatest Extra

This ageless being, according to a legend whispered across the earth in the voice of Anthony Hopkins, has been in every film and TV show ever recorded since cavemen first filmed each over with cameras made from rocks and water. And here’s a few examples of his chubby self appearing in some popular shows and [...]

SixToes: “Low Guns” Platform

What you’re witnessing here is 7 seconds on a station platform, seen through the window of a high-speed train, in slow-motion. All those moments frozen in time, captured, unlike tear drops in the rain. Unusually a band seems to have set up camp on the platform along with masked people and a woman in her [...]

Brian Cox – Wonders Of The Stoner System

Professor Cox, renowned drug fiend explores the cosmos. How? Not because he’s a particle physicist, a Royal Society University Research Fellow and a professor at the University of Manchester. Hell no, that pales into insignificance when it comes to getting crazy on mescaline and astral projecting through space-time. Science has got nothing on psychedelics.

It’s Fridaaaaaay! It’s Rebecca Black Day

You know what day it is, right? It’s Fridaaaaaay! It’s Rebecca Black day, the day she loves soooo much she has to mention it like a thousand zillion times in a pop song that manages to cover every annoying, soul-destroying teen pop slop cliché in the glittery pop sparkle book of cack. The only saving [...]

Hotel Hell Game

Time to get all ‘Hotel California’ and repeat the mantra, “You can check in, but you can never leave”, which is true in your case because you are running the place. Keep the demanding guests happy at ALL costs! It might sound like a pretty weird basis for a game but it is strangely addictive [...]

Delicious Ms Special… OM NOM!

Everyone loves cooking, right? All those pots and pans and sweating and then it turning out looking like a congealed lump of monkey crud. What’s not to like? Especially if you’re the privileged granddaughter of a famous children’s author, right Ms Dahl? As if the world of modeling wasn’t enough for you, now you’re riding [...]

Adam Kimmel: Downhill Racing Badass

Most people see Newton’s law of gravity as physics, this guy sees it as just another ride, man! Most people would be too terrified to ride a skateboard down a really, really long hill going really fast, this man dons a pale blue suit and jumps on the good ship Win. But he loses badass [...]

Banned iPad 2 Promo

With the new iPad 2 Apple will once again change the world. By making us all lust after something we don’t really need and can’t really afford. Technology we didn’t know we needed until all our friends and fellow human beings who sit opposite us on the bus had it and then made you realise [...]

What Pi Sounds Like

Time for a geek out. Assigning numbers to notes Captain Nerdling here gives a musical interpretation of Pi to 31 decimal places at a tempo of 157bpm, which is 314 divided by 2. After watching it you’ll have to go watch an episode of Married with Children or some other such crud, just to cleanse [...]
