Robot Ride For Sale (But Please Do Not Ride It).

A few weeks ago I posted a link to a video of a guy riding a robot. Maybe you saw it and thought to yourself, “That’s how I want to die.” Well today is your lucky day, my friend – the cleverly titled “ROBOT INDUSTRIAL FANUC S420iW” is up for auction on eBay, albeit with the somewhat-perplexing subtitle “ROBOT RIDE – DO NOT DO THIS!!” From the auction:

“This auction is for a used 1997 FANUC S420iW Industrial robot with RJ-2 Controls in a remote “B” cabinet. This robot has a capacity rating of 346 pounds and was at one time used in a Nissan Motor Plant. It is NOT intended to be a “RIDE” and I do not reccomend [sic] doing so. Fanuc also does NOT support the use of this machine as a “JOY RIDE”. Using this robot in such a manner can be hazardous to your health!!! … Videos of a machine “EXACTLY LIKE THIS ONE” in operation are available ALL OVER THE INTERNET!! Google the words “ROBOT RIDE” and find footage of a robot “EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE I HAVE FOR SALE”!”

Make up your minds, science-jerks!

A girl named Alyson Levy (who used to work on Wonder Showzen, apparently) made a short documentary out of footage she shot while visiting a Christian puppet camp. The results will melt your brain. Check it out.

Stop The Presses: Anna Nicole Smith Is Fucking Dead.

 We’ll remember they way you smiled gracefully at your detractors. We’ll remember your unique sense of style. We’ll remember your massive tits, and the way they wooed an old millionaire into giving you more money than any of us will ever see in our entire lives. We’ll remember that TV show you had, and how everyone loved to hate it. We’ll also remember how we totally forgot about your TV show after a while because we got sick of watching you fall down over and over and over again. We’ll remember how you showed up completely wasted at some sort of awards show. We’ll remember how your stepson died somehow. Or maybe it was your regular son. Whatever – we’ll remember it regardless. We’ll remember how you lost weight with the help of diet pills, inspiring thousands of people to do likewise. But most of all, Anna, we’ll remember how through it all, through the good and the bad, the ups and the downs, you never managed to show even a speck of an iota of class. Rest in peace.

Pamela’s still chuggin’ along, right?

(P.S. In honor of the passing of this American icon, please take a moment to watch this video and reflect on what Anna meant to you. She died as she lived – collapsing in public.)

Earlier today I opened up a YouTube video called “In My Language” – a fascinating look at autism and how we define language. Then a friend of mine sent me a link to a music video called “Why Must I Cry” – a fascinating look at how some really shitty rapper sings in the shower. I opened it while the other one was playing in another window and hey, guess what? They go together really well! Accidental Mash-Ups rule! Hit play on both of them below and find out for yourself!

Video Roundup: “I’m Sick Of The Internet” Edition
Wednesday January 17th 2007, 3:09 pm
Filed under: videos

Sorry for the lack of posts in the post-holiday season so far, but I’ve been kind of busy… drinking Jameson and watching Lost, mostly. I’m kind of sick of the internet lately, to be honest. This is a really bad thing for someone who maintains a blog dedicated, during bouts of laziness, to posting links to stupid shit on the internet. Despite all of this, I’ve managed to find the energy to, you know, watch some YouTube videos. Wow. Pathetic.

“Fuck”
211,000 people have viewed this video because they typed “fuck” into YouTube and it’s the first thing that comes up. watch it 3 times in a row for maximum effectiveness.

Matt & Kim – Lightspeed
this is too cute not to like.

Mr. Cool Ice
he’s real.

Windows Sounds On A Keyboard
this guy will die alone.

My Extreme Piano
money well spent.

i drunk-emailed myself a link to this. it’s stupid and amazing.

Ernst & Young – motivation song “Oh Happy Day!”
so gay it MUST be european.

Tickle Me Elmo on Fire
this makes me uncomfortable.

Furby In A Microwave
kinda goes with the elmo one in the sense that it also makes me uncomfortable.



The Internet Knows Everything About Everything (Except Why People Cry, Which It Can Never Comprehend).

 Back in September I posted a video of a TV pirating incident from 1987. It features a Max Headroom impostor talking gibberish for a while, pulling out his ass, and getting spanked with a fly swatter. If I had to use just one word to describe it, that’s a no brainer: “awesome.”

No, wait: “shred.”

There was no context for the video, no explanation whatsoever. Go figure – it’s a clip of a local broadcast from two decades ago where some dude pulls out his ass. Can you really expect much background information for that? Could there really be that much more to say about it?

Of course there is. This is the internet, remember?
