Attack of the Rat Monster!

Papa J alerts blogrot to a hideous genetic experiment gone wrong… being terrorised by a mutant rat monster.

Photo of the day: Goat on a trampoline

UPDATE: Papa J sends in this link to the other end of the goat/balance spectrum.

You Gotta Hold On

There a track from the new Flaming Lips album online here. Be patient though: the Flaming Lips only kick in about half way through the video.

Two music videos

Here are two excellent music videos, just perfect for a skivy Friday. I was alerted to both by my brother Simon’s blog.

First up, two Chinese blokes doing a unique dance/gurning routine to the Backstreet Boys.

And for seconds, one for all the Grandaddy fans.

Like King Kong vs. Godzilla, only crap

Google Video Search - the technology that previously let you pinpoint the least eventful frames in the dullest videos - finally launches its playback feature and declares itself a major new playa on the World’s Craziest Pets stage. Ladies and gentlemen, behold… AIBO vs. Iguana Dressed As Santa

Two political videos

The Internet is the spiritual home of the weird amateur crossover video, but today I think I’ve come across two of the weirdest: a commentary on UK ID cards in the style of Gilbert and Sullivan and yet another Star Wars pastiche… but this one using the Rebel Alliance as a metaphor for organic produce.

That’s Ent-ertainment

We all know it can sometimes feel like Christmas is becoming more and more commercialised, more bloated with tat, less about kindness to our fellow man and more about getting the last shite hyped toy in town at any cost. So it’s good to see that, in this golden age of consumerism, some of the old traditions,Tat-o-rama! the ones born out of the most essential human values, still remain.

I am, of course, referring to the two-storey singing Christmas tree at the Trafford Centre.

If you’ve got a stomach for the sort of things nightmares are made of, you can see a small video of this Tat-o-rama Spectacular here. (Requires a recent version of RealPlayer or QuickTime.)

“And if you want something to happen to you…”

One of my favourite Internet videos of all time is the one where Anthea Turner gets hit by the motorbike and set on fire.
