Operation NWAZ Mindfuck I

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

Pain Without Borders offers a somber and effec­tive reminder in this minute-​​​​long piece. Via Ads of the World.

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 […]
