It commences with a lovely guerrilla idea culled shamelessly from The Shed Prank. This is a Discordian operation; as Epopt of the northwestern Arizona region of the Cult of Wiener-Eaters in the name of Eris, as Grand Holy Pope of My House and Cats, I, Waxis42 Prang (the sane), KSC, FCD, declare this to be a Holy and […]

This one works in a different way.
My only question after seeing the ending is why was she unbuttoning his jeans for him? Find more videos like this on AdGabber A fine one from AdRants.
Sometimes it works

Was Campbell’s using lead-sealed cans?
That actually used to happen, you know — soup and other cans were sealed with lead. One has to wonder if perhaps that wasn’t the sealant used for this product, especially given the models’ expressions of abjectly maniacal glee. In fact if the product weren’t visible, you’d have to wonder exactly what this woman was doing to […]
FinallyFast: Pretty slow
OK, take a look at this commercial. See if you notice anything wrong, apart from the presence of enough cheese to bind a goat. Pay attention to the talking heads — or, more particularly, the hardware they’re running: While FinallyFast.com might or might not offer a product that’s of merit, their commercial is of dubious value, since it […]
HA HA HA HAHAHA HA HA HA
The Minutemen, founded by wackaloon Jim Gilchrist, are disintegrating: Gilchrist’s movement is falling apart, overtaken by new members whom he describes as “troublemakers with personality disorders and criminal propensities.” As opposed to their original membership, which was entirely sane and rational. Gilchrist, his face leathered from spending days under the scorching desert sun, takes a drag […]

Yemenis refuse to hold marriage as sacred
For a nation that claims to follow the Abrahamic god, even though they’re misguided enough to believe the Koran rather than the One True Writ,1 the people of Yemen are no more respectful of the millennia-old sacred tradition of marriage than are a bunch of rainbow-flag-waving fairies out on Castro. What’s got my knickers in a knot? The […]
Bush planning to get educated
From da’ Beeb: US President George W Bush has said he and Barack Obama will discuss issues such as the global financial crisis and the war in Iraq “early next week”. Hopefully BO will be able to give W some sound advice on how to handle these issues, because it’s obvious as hell that George hasn’t got the […]
The prescience of The Onion
Clayton Cubitt pointed out (obliquely) that satire-paper The Onion can be eerily predictive. I noticed this myself years ago with the article he links as well, first published on January 17, 2001, no shit: WASHINGTON, DC–Mere days from assuming the presidency and closing the door on eight years of Bill Clinton, president-elect George W. Bush assured the […]
FRAUD AT POLLS!
Oh wait, wrong headline. I watched BBC America last night for the results, while reading a copy of the Apocrypha Discordia — truly the only appropriate way to wait for election news. For me the highlight of the evening — before the 333-vote tally at 9:30 or so — was John Bolton making an ass of himself […]
Rendered to its absolute basics
A cardinal rule of advertising is that sex sells. This might not seem sensible when one is contemplating, say, Little Debbie snack cakes,1 but it’s hard to ignore the fact that Mr. Clean is rather buff. While it might seem sensible to extol the virtues of a given product over another — performance, for instance, or […]
