Four friends who collectively call themselves Igloo Tornado wrote a series of fictional tales of the love between Henry Rollins and Glenn Danzig, plus some jokes from their Satan worshiping neighbors, Daryl Hall and John Oates. This land of make-believe is contained in
Glenn & Henry Forever. There isn't a preview in one handy location, but various
interviews,
reviews, and
blogs have posted
some of the comics (more:
Henry has no shoes, Hall & Oats play D&D,
a postcard from Henry to Glenn, and
a page from Danzig's diary). Danzig,
often the butt of internet jokes, was not thrilled. His thoughts were made into
a final comic. Oh, and there's
an anti-Christmas animation special/advert. And
a gallery show with more artists joining the fun.

Hygiene. Flexibility. Safety (SLYT) Another spoof on the
Jobs presentation, but with a real company, product and serious effort behind it. It's odd because it's super-real, injokey and the viral ambition is ambiguous. Moneyshot at 7m40s.
As a sidenote, would Apple be able to stomp on this if they wanted to? I mean, this is so tongue in cheek I can't really see the tongue.

Art Binninger was a sci-fi buff in the 1970s with the resources of the audiovisual squad at Vandenberg Air Force Base at his disposal. The result was
Star Trix, a claymation Star Trek parody, that spawned
three short films and Star Trix: The Flick (parts
1,
2,
3,
4, and
5). Art Binninger himself explains
the whole saga on his web site.

We haven't had a
Salon link on the front page for a while, so I don't feel bad about
posting this one. Conserve energy the Dick Cheney way! [Warning: left-wing, liberal, tree-hugging, granola-eating, pinko, partisan parody. You don't
have to click if you don't like such stuff.]

I don't know if any of you have killed anyone (I certainly hope not) lately... But if you have,
these guys can help with disposing the body. The telephone number actually works. Somebody is there just to keep the joke going. Now, we've all seen the Bonsai Kitten and Baby Smasher sites (I'm not going to relink those, you know how to use
Google, don't you?). How many more of these types of gross satire sites should we expect? What sort of social evolution do these sites indicate? A loss of sensitivity? A devaluation of human life? An obsession with death and killing? A just plain twisted sense of humor? What do you think drives the creators of these sites?

"we're just two schmucks who thought something was funny." Yet more elian/true news (like you needed more). The two playboy guys have backed down from the AP bully boys. if you are running a mirror site, send in a link to these guys and they'll link to you. With over 1,000,000 visitors in the past couple of days, it might be worth the e-mail.
Meanwhile Salon also has a
run down on the story.
