Don't Copy that Floppy!

I'll still copy that floppy though.

I Was a Born a Unicorn

2006-10-29T08:42:00.000-08:00

Sorry for the lack of posts, I've been kinda depressed lately. So here's a pretty damn good song by "The Unicorns":

Man getting hit by football

2006-10-22T09:07:00.000-07:00

I'm rather depressed today, for reasons I'd rather not go into.

So, to cheer me up, here's that classic Simpsons gag of Hans Moleman in "Man getting hit by football."

Sorry, it'll probably be the only video today.

Barney Fife does the Preamble

2006-10-21T09:09:00.000-07:00

I was trying to find the Schoolhouse Rock video of "The Preamble," which was the way I and many other young people learned to memorize the Preamble to the Constitution.

I had no luck but I did find this video from "The Andy Griffith Show" of Barney Fife recalling the Preamble. It's pretty darn funny, believe it or not.

Pirates and Emperors

2006-10-21T06:42:00.000-07:00

This quote from the movie pretty much sums it up:

What meanest thou by seizing the whole earth; because I do it with a petty ship, I'm called a robber, whilst thou who dost the same with a great fleet art styled emperor?

"Hey, who left all this garbage on the steps of Congress?"

To take a brief break from the Schoolhouse Rock goodness, here's a documentary I've been meaning to see for sometime on the Federal Reserve.

Trust me, there's nothing boring about how the Fed is screwing us over.

Midtown Plaza

2006-10-20T11:11:00.000-07:00

An old promotional film for Midtown Plaza in Rochester.

Actually having been there, let's say the old girl ain't what she use to be. The Christian Science Reading Room and some knick-knack shop are two of the top stores there. There's also a lot less white people there as the film would have you think. Oh, and it smells funny too.

More "Sealed with a Kiss"

2006-10-17T19:44:00.000-07:00

Here's a less stupid trailer, with You Tube goodness:

On another note, a dude drew this HIMSELF. All those little frames, soley from his hand. So I think we should give the man a wee bit of credit, eh?

"It's spanky time!"

2006-10-17T19:40:00.000-07:00

A trailer for a cartoon version of Romeo and Juliet...with seals.

As clearly shown with the little fish who says "It's spanky time!," it's not exactly true to the original. But it still seems so stupid, it's great.

"Victory! HUZZAH!"

2006-10-16T13:47:00.000-07:00

I actually know a guy who's in this club. I love this video in itself too.

It actually makes this look completely awesome.

Mentos - THE FRESHMAKER!

2006-10-15T15:25:00.000-07:00

Fun fact: it's hard to find Mentos commercials that aren't some lame 15 year old kid doing it with a home video camera.

Police State 3: Total Enslavement

2006-10-15T11:17:00.000-07:00

I once found a bunch of videos that said "TAKE ONE" of various documentaries by this guy, Alex Jones.

I took one of each sort of video, but I was too lazy to pop it into a VCR.

Well, fortunately, with the power of the Internets, you and I can watch it online right here:

But it's still good. Check it out:

Turning Muslim in Texas

2006-10-13T17:53:00.000-07:00

A documentary about an all-American man and a girl next door type, both from strong Christian families, who decided to convert to Islam.

Kinda a different perspective on things, I suppose.

Dark Side of the Rainbow

2006-10-13T17:45:00.000-07:00

It's Dark Side of the Moon synced with The Wizard of Oz.

The sync is a bit off but the sync is kinda freaky still.

2006-10-10T08:57:00.000-07:00

Sorry about a lack of post yesterday. It wasn't that good. I think I might have scared a lovely girl off by my someone l33t Internet skillz that might appear to be stalkerish. Sigh.

Well, to cheer myself up, and to cheer yourself up, dear reader, here's one of my favorite Internet videos, the Kitty Cat Dance:

"Crawford Long discovered ether...when he wasn't busy being WHITE"

2006-10-08T22:11:00.000-07:00

Since it's White History Year, why don't we talk a moment and watch this Squidbillies episode detailing the accomplishments of white people?

Yep, from inventing ether to the invention of the cotton gin, white people sure have done a lot for us.

Sear's and Roebuck's Freeze-In

2006-10-07T13:04:00.000-07:00


A training film for selling freezers, circa 1969, done in Laugh-In style. Hell, it even has that British chick and Arte Johnson. Even though I doubt that freezers would still be giant ass boxes in a future where everyone wears space helmets this video is still VEDDY INTERESTING

Telezonia

2006-10-07T12:57:00.000-07:00


Dig this, kids! It's a documentary from 1974, straight from old Ma Bell on how the telephone works and how to use the phone system. It's pretty dang groovy.

2006-10-07T12:43:00.000-07:00


My all time favorite educational film of all time. It's sex ed for "trainables" (read: the mentally handicapped). Because the mentally challenged need to know about sex too, here's a video on how to do it.

It's Yu-Gi-Oh, condensed in under 5 minutes:

Zladko - "Elecktronik Supersonik" and "I Am the Anti-Pope"

2006-09-29T12:51:00.000-07:00

Since we're talking about Eurovision today, we can't mention Eurovision without the horrible injustice from the Eurovision people.

For two years, they kept disqualifying Molvania's entry for the contest, ZLADKO!, from entering. Fortunately, the videos still exist.

So for your pleasure, here are, what I believe, are the true song winners of the 2004 and 2005 Eurovision Song Contest:

Father Ted - "My Lovely Horse"

2006-09-29T12:50:00.000-07:00

In 1996, Ireland won the Eurovision song contest...again. So, to avoid hosting it again, they decide to have Father Ted sing for Ireland.

Well, here's the song they entered, from the episode "A Song for Europe":

Lordi - "Hard Rock Halleujah"

2006-09-29T12:46:00.000-07:00

This year's winner from Finland, Lordi, with "Hard Rock Halleujah."

This song truly ROCKS:

Nicole - "Ein Bisshen Frieden"

2006-09-29T12:45:00.000-07:00

Germany's 1982 entry, "Ein Bisshen Frieden," or "A Little Bit of Peace":

Frances Gall - ""Poupée De Cire, Poupée De Son"

2006-09-29T12:40:00.000-07:00

Luxemborg's entry from 1965 entry:

ABBA - "Waterloo"

2006-09-29T12:38:00.000-07:00

In 1974, Sweden decided to enter a band called "ABBA" with their song "Waterloo." They won and well, the rest is history.

Brotherhood of Man - "Save Your Kisses for Me"

2006-09-29T12:37:00.000-07:00

The UK's entry for 1976. They won too.

Cliff Richards - "Congratulations"

2006-09-29T12:36:00.000-07:00

Massiel - "La La La"

2006-09-29T12:33:00.000-07:00

It's Eurovision Day at the Video Hunter, and I'm hunting down some Eurovision videos.

Here's "La La La," Spain's entry from 1968. Apparently, some dude wanted to sing it in Cantalian, but General Franco refused so he had Massiel sing it.

You gotta admit, Massiel is pretty damn hot. She reminds me why Spanish chicks are hot.

And man, this song sure is catchy and upbeat.

When I was in Cuba, I spent about 12 hours in the Jose Marti International Airport in Havana since I ran out of cash except to pay for the departure tax.

Anyways, since there wasn't much to do, I mostly watched TV, where they showed these great cartoons called "Filminuto." They're little cartoons that last only about a minute.

In case you didn't figure out, the commercials and such - well, they're fake.

Sad thing is that those products - Darky Toothpaste, Coon Chicken Inn, etc. - they actually existed. Hell, they even still sell Darky Toothpaste in Asia, where they call it "Black Man Toothpaste."

I've recently become a fan of the whole alternate universe thing, so C.S.A. hit the spot for me. At the end, they said how they based a lot of it on actual Confederate plans and it was kinda scary in that perspective. Anyways, here's a trailer for it:

Anyways, even though we all know how upon the North's lost, Abe Lincoln tried to escape to Canada, but was caught by Confederate troops, here's D.W. Griffin's re-enactment of the capture from the classic silent film "The Hunt for Dishonest Abe":

A BBC documentary/drama on what it would be like if drugs were legal. Mostly pro, but IMHO, the con arguments are weak. Pretty much all of their arguments can be responded with "Well, tobacco and alcohol are legal and they do the same thing." Still an interesting video.
