Some guy named Spence Peppard takes a flying shot at Willie Nelson and Patsy Cline's Crazy.

Crazy Japanese advertisements

reenum — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 20:30:28 -0800

The makers of Ninja Gaiden 2 have decided on an unorthodox ad campaign. The game is being advertised by two white breasts protruding from a wall facing the street (SLYT). There are predictably funny reactions from passers by. Obviously, this is NSFW.

I'll Go Crazy if I Don't Go Crazy Tonight

WCityMike — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 12:26:57 -0800

"I'll Go Crazy if I Don't Go Crazy Tonight," a beautiful little moodful animated Larry Mullen Band music video. It's not so much the song as its combination with a wonderful animated story by David O'Reilly (previously).

Should the Government Give You a Credit Card?

emjaybee — Mon, 25 May 2009 12:48:17 -0800

"In fact, while transactional credit provision is a perfectly good business, it might be reasonable for the state to offer basic transactional credit as a public good." Blogger Steve Randy Waldman has an idea that's so crazy it might work. He buried it in a nice wonky, obscure post about transactional and revolving credit, but now has been linked by Ezra Klein at his new WaPo blog. Will Metafilter heads explode?

クレイジーケンバンド!

The Crazy Ken Band! Cool and Hot! Swinging horns! Groovy chicks! Fast cars! Danger! Crazy! CRAZY! Respect! Otosan A fan's Apple iTunes commercial parody, plus a cat jumping out of an orange For a dozen years they've been mining rich veins of rockabilly, jumping jive, Henry Mancini's jazz soundtracks, Detroit muscle cars and trad Japanese music. But nevermind that right now. Even their product endorsements are cool: Hallelujah Xmas! Hemi Hemi Dodge Cruising! Crazy Ken even digs hip-hop: m-flo loves Nomiya Maki & Crazy Ken Band Cosmic Night Run! (and again, live!) Apologies for my not knowing the slightest bit of Japanese. Hover over the links for whatever info I could make up.

Confused about the current financial mess?

Don't listen to 'economists', its all about the Cave of Wealth and Death, the Godess of Inflation and Derivatives Beast. In an astonishing 3 parts (so far).

Hello Hello

Hello Hello Finally a myspace blog post worth seeing: funny window messages about neighbors with trash disposal concerns, vaguely reminiscent of the window messages in "You and Me and Everyone Else We Know" Please suggest websites for more funny window messages. Is this normal?

A mind dismembered: In search of the magical penis thieves

chunking express — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:46:14 -0800

According to Ilechukwu, an epidemic of penis theft swept Nigeria between 1975 and 1977. Then there seemed to be a lull until 1990, when the stealing resurged. “Men could be seen in the streets of Lagos holding on to their genitalia either openly or discreetly with their hand in their pockets,” Ilechukwu wrote. “Women were also seen holding on to their breasts directly or discreetly, by crossing the hands across the chest. . . . Vigilance and anticipatory aggression were thought to be good prophylaxes. This led to further breakdown of law and order.” In a typical incident, someone would suddenly yell: Thief! My genitals are gone! Then a culprit would be identified, apprehended, and, often, killed.

OK, so here's Living On A Prayer played by an 11-year-old Korean kid. He has more.

Lots and lots of money.

flatluigi — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 19:59:26 -0800

David Horvitz will do things for money. Though I really doubt anyone will send money for the larger things, the things he offers are pretty interesting.

Lew Rockwell Dunnit

Henry C. Mabuse — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 07:08:03 -0800

Lew Rockwell Dunnit - in interviews with Reason, a half-dozen longtime libertarian activists—including some still close to Paul—all named the same man as responsible for writing Ron Paul's newsletters containing inflammatory rhetoric under his name: Llewellyn Rockwell, Jr. Previously.

Bushism

I'm a Railroad (YT) pure Bush gibberish, from the same folks that gave you "Top Ten Signs Your Country May Be Going Fascist", And FDR Rant. (More inside. NSFW for language & juvenility)

A Boy, His Dog, and Their Descent Into Madness

jiiota — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 05:31:59 -0800

On public access TV in Seattle a preacher named Bruce Howard rambled each week for twenty five minutes about love and hope. He would then abruptly burst into song (some covers, some original) and lavish affection onto his pug, BUSTER LOVE! We watched at first to mock, and then grew to genuinely like him. But sometime between then and now he seems to have gone mad (last two links nsfw-ish).

Crazy.

flapjax at midnite — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 19:26:44 -0800

You've never heard a box of Stoned Wheat Thins, a big tub of Necco, a little wooden frog, a Tupperware bucket, an empty jar and a theremin sound this good. It's Crazy. No, really, it's Crazy. Those of you enamored of this kind of sonic robot/automata/tomfoolery might also wanna check out my earlier FPP on the Japanese masters of electro-mechanical musical magnificence, Maywa Denki. And just for good measure, here's Patsy's Crazy. And Gnarls Barkley's Crazy.

Police Officer Tasers a High School Streaker, twice. This actually looks to be more funny than outraging. It looks like he was actually breaking some sort of outdated law about "public nudity", or something.

Religious pareidolia

Afreemind2007 — Wed, 03 Jan 2007 19:41:09 -0800

He's everywhere! previously on hot chocolate, shrimp, dental X-rays, a dog's ass and now on a couch. And we can't forget about the $28,000 grilled cheese sandwich. Religious pareidolia is here to stay.

Lunatic religious cartoonist Jack Chick is targeting a new demographic; converting his greatest hits to provide more "urban" appeal.

Furor over Fuhrer Food

FeldBum — Mon, 21 Aug 2006 08:38:49 -0800

Furor over Fuhrer Food But it's not the only Hitler-themed restaurant. Taipei had the Prison restaurant with Concentration Camp murals, and Korea had the infamous 1939 Hitler Bar.

Not that the U.S. was spared. Colorado had a Mao-themed eatery.
