Is it me or does 'peg man' sound toasted?

Credit crunch, rah rah rah

There are numerous problems with this:
1. It's the credit crunch (actually, onset of recession), people are in pain, how much sympathy do you feel for a public school?
2. The completely flat intonation-free voiceover
3. You have two teenage girls, one a cutie, one a fugly. Which one do you interview?

This is what they want



Matthew Butler. The kid who dressed as a rabbit at the height of Watership Down fever and sang live "Is it a kind of dream" "Bright Eyes". Putting in all the search (Tiswas, Chris Tarrant, Sally James, Birmingham, ATV) terms in the hope that this joyful milestone in British Television is shared with as wide an audience as possible. One shot. The full three minutes.

Are you watching, T4??? ARE YOU?

Mr. No Legs



The genre is called dis-action.
And love the way this vid is tagged on youtube as wheelchairfu.

MORE HERE:
http://www.internalbleeding.net/2008/04/mr-no-legs

“The Cops want to get him. The Mob wants to hit him. But no one wants to meet
him face to face.” - that’s the tag line for Ricou Browning’s 1981 film”Mr. No
Legs”, starring Richard Jaeckel (Delta Force 2), John Agar, and Lloyd Bochner.

Mr. No Legs is a legless enforcer that rides around in a bad ass
wheelchair, equiped with side mounted shotguns that flip out of the armrests at
the push of a button. Those shotguns have auto-aim too, so even though they
point dead ahead, they can shoot dudes 3 feet off the ground with no problem. If
the guns don’t stop you, his whirlwind stump-fu will really trip you up, fool."

Shred0006

Only just joined this phenomenon now - from SHRED0006

Ozzy Osborne and Jake E. Lee - shredded.



Yes. He gets lots of clips of guitar solos and "great moments in Ax history"... then has a go at redubbing them himself.

Just when you think it's going to stop... it just keeps on going.

They're all here...

Telly Savalas Looks At Birmingham


Kojak is apparenlty a B1 man trapped in an NY body.

TELLY SAVALAS SAYS...
I was told to get there before it all blew away... Bourneville...The Church of St. Martin.

We're in the Heart of the West Midlands... 2 million use it's Modern Rail Terminal.

Shoo Shoo?

Because at least one other 'mounder was obsessed with this in the days before Youtube.
Part Deux, with the killer breath, is almost as good.

Don't look at the boobies!

Yeah, it was the BBC what overreacted, wasn't it, Georgina. Ah, Georgina...no, focus and stay angry...don't look at the sexy girls slapping their bums with 666 written on them...think of what poor national treasure Manuel Sachs would do if he had to see this and, oh, enjoy it...that's not at all wrong...but then there's those fishnets and the tight red top. Ah, to hell with it.
Look at the boobies!


Hey, isn't this supposed to be 'burlesque'?

Georgina Baillie, Georgina Bailley Bailey Baily Bailie Bally Bailiey Banking Bailout

"Hopefully they'll let me keep the Swastikas"

It's amazing what you'll find when your search term is 'Satanic Sluts'.
Love his stumbling explanation of how he 'accidentally' found 'nazi porn'.
But he makes up for it with his inspired graphics of Golden Girls and Kramer to censor the boobies.


Hey Bobby, what's the French for 'Aaaaaaaaagh!'

Who says footballers are, how you say, knuckle-dragging, uni-brain celled troglodytes?

Doctor Boswell Reviews

Yes, if the American election fever is getting to much then take some time out and enjoy another of Doctor Boswell fascinating reviews.  He's back with his cockatoo and this time he's talking Cyber Sunday - whatever the hell that is.  Suggestions on a postcard on what we would like Dr Boswell to review next- I'm sure he'll oblige, he looks very giving!

Dancing with the dogs...





Failin' Pailin - Blame Canada

Is Steve Penk working for Canadian radio now? Let's hope so.
Still, 'Sarkozy' should never have told Palin he'd f***ed her grand-daughter.

Election results

Forget NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, CNN, BBC, ITV and Sky. I wanna watch these guys tonight.

That's if the ginger guy ain't already in jail, cos he looks angry - and this was in 2006.



OH - and UK TV anoraks - hang around for the very last three seconds..

The polls have closed.. and the truth can be told

All about Barack Santos. I mean Matt Obama.

Comparing The West Wing character Matt Santos and West Wing hopeful Barack Obama isn't new. Neither is this video.



But it's well worth a reminder of the genius of The West Wing...

US Elections - the Jerry Springer way..

As election fever reaches.. er.. fever pitch.. time to look back through the election archives.

How about this from Jerry Springer in 1980 - yes - him off of shouty TV.



The real genius is that he actually tries to suggest that paying for stripper-sex is a helpful learning experience for him being governor. Bit like saying "I can see Russia from my front porch" qualifies you for foreign policy discussions. Genius.

Hooo, Hoo Hoo, Hoo Hoo Hoo, Hoooo Hooo Hooo Hoo HOO HOOOO

Oh, alright, one more...

The effect the new Lloyds TSB ad on its customers.

They drink it in the congo.

This is the news.


But every time I hear the word, in my head I hear this...

THE SOUND OF A THOUSAND VISITORS...

Man Made Mounders.

Congratulations... We have hit 1000 visitors.

To celebrate this, here is a video someone has made of themselves doing the annoying singer from the Lloyds TSB advert with the weird trains from the top of a staircase in a Cold War Museum.
