let's colour!

super cool video shot over 4 weeks in brazil, london, india, and france. all real people, all real shots, all using a palette of 120 different colours.

i want an asian baby for the following reasons:

this is ridiculous...

FOO FOO FOO fighters:

you're a fucking bogan!

has anyone ever called you a bogan? they probably have, they just might've used a different word. bogan means white trash in australian, and they use it a shit ton on australia's next top model, my new favorite show. it totally kicks america's next top model's ass...they can say lots more stuff on tv, like one chick said 'fuck!' when she fell at the end of the runway. all of the girls are also crazy and are really mean to each other. and then cassi, who i'm currently trying to score a phone interview with for byt, is absolutely the best bogan ever. she's been smoking since she was ten years old (she's sixteen now), has a snaggletooth, and has a serious anger management problem. when she's not threatening to rip people's heads off, she's punching walls. seriously, you've got to watch it, i can't stop. here's a clip:

you can watch all the episodes (like i've done) on youtube by searching for australia's next top model cycle five. it's literally the best thing i've ever seen. i think a lot of it has to do with their funny accents. and the fact that my arch nemesis tyra banks isn't the host.

livin' in the land of the lost

scariest and most awesome show of all time. now that they're doing the new movie version, i figure maybe people will FINALLY believe me that it WAS a show. i've tried to describe it numerous times to people, and all i ever get is a blank stare or the suggestion that maybe i made it all up. false. how could i invent such a complex and amazing television program? plz enjoy the intro...ps, does anyone remember the episode where the purple moon makes all the dinos and prehistoric creatures go crazy? that was terrifying. the monkey is terrifying, too. not just in that episode, but always. if i saw him i would run away.

in honor of the heathers sequel...

in honor of the confirmation of a heathers sequel, i've decided to post the original for your viewing pleasure. if you don't like heathers, you are a pillowcase and i hate you. this is the first part, and here is the link to start watching the rest via youtube. ps i think it might skip ahead a few minutes to martha dumptruck's humiliation with the football team, but you should already know what happens...basically she gets fooled into believing one of them has a thing for her (c'mon, martha, let's be realistic here...) because the heathers utilize veronica's sick handwriting forgery skillz to trick her with a fake love note. i had to switch to a different user's videos because this clown above only posted half the movie, and the one with the entire thing disabled embedding. what a n00b. if it really bugs you, click on this link to go to the full version @ youtube.

best.thing.ever.

do you like to laugh? do you also like total eclipse of the heart and/or bonnie tyler? if you answered yes to either of these questions, we should hang out more. this is going down in history as one of my favorite videos of all time. either watch it or get out of here...

gems from down undah

so i feel like i harp on accents a lot, and this post is no exception. i've come to realize that people with australian and/or new zealand(ian) (ese) (ish)? accents are automatically ten times funnier than people with not those accents. aka americans. kath and kim proves my point. when nbc decided to pull another "let's make a united states version of this comedy" with the australian show kath and kim, i thought, okay, they pulled it off with the office, perhaps molly shannon and selma blair and their ridiculous outfits will be able to pull this one off too. falsefalsefalse. i didn't laugh once during the pilot. granted, i hadn't seen the aussie version at this point and figured it couldn't be much better. again, falsefalsefalse. kath and kim australia is one of the funniest shows i've ever seen, and i can really only chalk it up to the accent difference. i don't know what that means, though. anyways, here's one of my fave kath and kim clips:

if you'd like some more laughterthoughts from down under, you should try watching summer heights high if you haven't already. it's a mockumentary that follows three characters, all played by the same guy. probably the best show ever, no joke. or, well, lots of jokes, but you get what i mean. here are some clips of thattt...





and finally i'd like to give new zealand a little shout out. i bet you're thinking, yeah whatever, i already watch flight of the conchords and that's plenty new zealand for me. well, i bet you haven't heard of eagle vs. shark, which is like, the new zealand answer to napoleon dynamite only 800 times better (again, i attribute the laughs to the accent). it's w/ jemaine clement from flight of the conchords, looking super-fug i might add. i highly recommend you watch it. here's a clip:

step off, betch

so i am still totally completely mayjah-mayjah-mayjahly obsessed with this track by blatta & inesha featuring one of my all-time faves (at the moment, anyway) congorock. this song reminds me of if robots lived in the jungle in outer space. so if you think you might not like that scenario so much, perhaps you should skip this jam. but i still am absolutely gaga for it.

troop beverly hillz

we're the girls from beverly hills, shopping is our greatest thrill. spoken like pros. it gave girl scouts everywhere hope that maybe, just maybe, one day shelley long would sweep in and fashionista-fy their troop. i know my girl scout troop sucked, which is probably why i stayed in it for about a year in third grade. my troop leaders were not unlike the hated velda, only unfortunately no one was there to shut them down and force them to work at kmart. instead we were stuck earning badges the lame way, including the horseback riding badge, which for some reason involved camping in hell for a night. first of all, it was about twenty below zero (i'm exagerrating, but not much...), we were forced to stay in cabins that even lincoln would've frowned upon, we had to eat food cooked on a sterno stove which was prepared by the middle school girl scouts (at least two issues here...why would anyone think it was a good idea to allow middle schoolers to cook food for others, and why would anyone think it would be okay to stay in girl scouts past elementary school???), and mostly me and the other normals cried the entire trip wishing we were at home watching nickelodeon and playing with our dogs. anyways, here's the first part of troop beverly hills. i highly recommend it, esp. if you have the swine flu like i do. and for the rest of the parts, here are the links, respectively: part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7, part 8, part 9, part 10, part 11, part 12.

lohan being cool about fiiiiiire safetehhh

check out lindsay lohan doing a psa back in the day! i wonder what seymour smoke would say if he saw how many cigs she smoked on a daily basis. surprisingly, the sound he makes when there's smoke is less annoying than the sound he makes when he's talking...perhaps this taught linds that where there's smoke, there's no gilbert gottfried. and i'd also just like to say that if your child tells you that a smoke detector named seymour smoke told them about the wonders of fire safety, you've probably got a carbon monoxide leak, not a fire.

little red royksopp

i like this a lot lot lot. it's like the royksopp music video for remind me, but it's to the story of little red riding hood.
