Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. The Japanese are a very courteous people. So courteous, in fact, that when one rises up as a zombie, it is only proper to send a letter to the children you're about to attack and warn them of your impending arrival. But this is apparently from a television show in which they staged what can only be termed "My First Zombie AttackTM" and watched how three kids responded to a zombie walking in and trying to eat them. Apart from being afraid for the long term effects on the minds of the children, I was also worried about the short term safety of the actor playing the zombie. Still, WTF, Japan? Don't you know you're supposed to wait until at least age eight before you start traumatizing kids for entertainment and profit? I mean, honestly... Categorized as: TV

Comments on this: 5 so far. Add your own.  Gladys couldn't stop staring at the giant cock and all the meat it had. We all know the refrain. All together now: "I used to like MTV when it played music". With sites like Youtube where you can pull music videos on demand, does MTV really need to play them any more? Somebody must be watching shit like The Hills because I can't see the network putting up with those spoiled little rich brats without major ad dollars coming in. But what's even more frustrating is how the cable network flirts with but never quite goes all the way showing hard core sex. Think about it. The channel has their cutesy dating shows like Next and Parental Control. The 'dates' are all unusual activities like cow pie tossing, snake charming, and sheep shearing. Personally, I want to see them engage in only one event, if you know what I mean. And I know you do. Then on the so-called reality shows The Real World and Road Rules, you have all that making out in the hot tub and the showers, infra red cameras in the bedroom, and enough alcohol to throw good sense right out the window. But all the naughty bits are blurred out and you never see The Beast With Two Backs unless it's under the covers. Categorized as: TV

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. Michael Palin--comedian, actor, smart guy who figured out how to get the BBC to pay for sending him around the world--turns 66 years young today. I say young because he seems to traipse just about anywhere, like a smaller, quieter Brian Blessed. Here he is giving the oldie but goodie explanation of where exactly the title Monty Python's Flying Circus came from on Parkinson: Categorized as: TV

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. Long before there was Matt LeBlanc looking lost in the movie Ed, there was Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp. Looking very unlost. And frankly, rocking out. Direct link for the feedreaders. Thanks to Lee Unkrich for the WTFery. The full series of Link is available (partially) on DVD from Amazon. Categorized as: TV

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. So I've mentioned before how I love Spike Jones because seeing him and his crew perform is a lot like the inside of my head. This admission has earned me my fair share of people backing away slowly, but so be it. Mark Evanier, because this is what he does, told the story of how he lucked into meeting members of Spike Jones' family, got access to a bunch of original concept art (among other things), and met the man who sketched up the piano playing bit that was featured in the vid we posted here. Here's a bit of unrelated Spike just because we can and because it's damn fun. Direct link for the feedreaders. And here's where you can read the post from Mark. It's fantastic. Categorized as: TV
