JEDI JACKASS
Dec 8th
Now here’s a a fine specimen of what the young people these days call a “mashup”.
Take two sources that have nothing to do with each other and mix them in a video blender and out comes something new.
That’s how I would explain it. For a better definition you should look up the word in ye olde wikipedia in your local public library (if you still have one). Or “google it”, whatever that means. All this internet mumbo-jumbo is making my head dizzy. It also could be the fumes from the cans of paint in the garage I’m sitting in as I can’t afford a decent office. The life of a freelancer, what a joy! Thank you, world economy, for making my life even more miserable than I could possibly imagine.
But I digress.
This video features well known Star Wars characters doing crazy things that you would normally see on the MTV show Jackass (also available on DVD, you know.) That’s why it’s called Jedi Jackass and it works suprisingly well. I can imagine that this is what the people in the Star Wars universe are up to when there’s nothing to watch on holonet, or all the womp rats have been shot but there’s still time to waste.
Can these reviews from well-renowned papers lie?
“A new low”
-Bespin Star
“A plunge into depravity”
-Mos Eisley News
No, they can’t. So you know it’s good. Because it’s bad. And this Star Wars/Jackass mashup is tantalisingly awesome. Really.
Real Life 8Bit Waterslide Ride
Apr 1st
Yes, you read that right.
An 8Bit waterslide ride in real life.
Of course, this fantastic video was yet again done by people with much more talent, creativity and attention for detail than me, but that won’t surprise any of you (mum, dad – thanks for stopping by).
The video is an entry in a competition from Barclaycard, a credit card company that probably won’t exist in 12 months. Unlike this video. It will stay with you forever – just like that weird rash that you caught on your holiday in Mexico.
Tesla Coil Imperial March – old hat already?
Mar 19th
To answer this rhetorical question in the most journalistic way possible: YES.
Proof: posted to the ugc video sharing site youtube on 19th February 2009.
In internet terms this is, in fact, a very old hat. Or old cheese. Runny, old cheese.
Well, so much for our journalistic integrity on reporting just the facts. Of course we have to post this. It’s (yet another) Star Wars related video. And this is what this site, the safe haven for embedded Star Wars nerdism, is all about.
So without further ado, please do applaud these true heroes of our time for their bravery in, er, science. Or something like that. There’s a Tesla coil, so it must be something to do with science. Possibly.
Power! Unlimited power!

Melt your brains! Melt them to mush!
Mar 2nd
Do you know what’s important in life?
It’s not how many friends you have, or if you achieve a state of mental bliss.
The most important thing in life is to watch crazy, stupid stuff on the internets. Obviously!
This short little video was done by Cyriak, animation genius with a demented sense of reality. Or maybe he has escaped from a mental institution. It really doesn’t matter.
After watching this video, all those years of therapy, self-reflection and analysis will be for nothing. Your brain will turn into a mushy mess. Lovely!
Baker’s “Racist Cookies” Prompt Furious Reactions
Feb 26th
Who says the evening news is boring?
Meet Ted:
Ted is a friendly neighborhood baker from Greenwich Village in Manhattan. Ted was so stoked by the election of Barack Obama to the Presidency that he decided to bake a tribute in his honour.
Here is Ted’s tribute:
I won’t say anymore – but the video to this story is a thing of beauty – a rare piece of natural comedy genius.
Christian Bale vs. Bill O’Reilly
Feb 5th
Oh I see, the internet is still not done with Batman Christian Bale.
Here he is battling it out with Bill O’Reilly.
And that’s that.
I’m done.
I want you off the fucking set you prick!
Christian Bale is a lovely person
Feb 5th
You probably have already heard (again, we’re number one for old news!) that Batman actor Christian Bale went bonkers on the set of Terminator 4 and threw a tantrum.
Not because Batman he suddenly realised that the Terminator franchise has been squeezed to death by the previous movie and the horrible TV series (except that strangely hot Summer Glau Terminatrix chick), oh noes, something much more sinister happened: The director of photography walked on the set and was distracting Batman Christian Bale. Batman Poor guy couldn’t concentrate on the scene (probably something really important like pressing a button in front of a bluescreen) and had no other choice than to voice his anger. Also, I hear he had an upset tummy from eating too many bean burritos from the lunch van.
Now with stuff like that happening in the times we live in, sooner or later it goes viral on that internet thing the kids use. And then it gets mashed, remixed and put on youtube for the rest of us.
Final proof that threats, swearing and danceable beats mix so well together:
What the fuck is it with you?

Update the site ASSCLOWN!
Feb 5th
Oh it looks like there were no updates since last Friday.
Almost a whole week without any cool news, gadget stuff, stupid images or viral videos. What happened?
Lazyness. And stuff. Real life. Meh.
So there is, of course, no excuse for this miserable posting behaviour. Especially since there are at least two random people visiting this site. Every day. Oh yes, we are slowly building a strong random readership sent out there. BTW, if you are a real person, leave a comment, will you?
How about some old news? As many of you know, Super Bowl is like really important and stuff. And it happened again last Sunday. Apparently the whole world was watching, except me.
The best thing about this testosterone driven sports event is, of course, the commercial breaks. They give the audience some time to reflect upon what they just saw (yeah, right), go for a much needed wee, make manly grunting noises and get a couple of more beers from the fridge. Like many things, Super Bowl is just another cheap excuse to get drunk during the middle of the day.
The commercials are always a big hullabaloo for anxious ad executives that want to high-five themselves for coming up with the bestest idea for the ads.
Here’s a couple that made me laugh. In no particular order. I know that this is old cheese for most of you – but do I look like I care? Didn’t think so. Maybe just one more thing: MacGruber should be made into a TV series. Seriously. This could easily be the new LOST or HEROES. Trust me, I watch TV and know this.

CSI: Tatooine
Jan 29th
A couple of months ago, when I was bored, I imagined what it would be like if the two universes of Star Wars and CSI: Miami would merge.
You know, by means of evil Sith magic or because Mala Noche are expanding their territory into space.
Stuff happens in my head when I’m bored. So the concept is a bit like Marvel Comics vs. DC, or Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, or my constant fight against sanity.
So I came up with this quick mash-up picture showing Horatio Caine in his standard issue stormtrooper uniform. Plus his sunglasses, of course. Because of the blinding twin suns of Tatooine.
So yeah, this is what CSI: Tatooine would look like. Pretty much.
Our first priority is to find the crime scene:
Swearing Weathermen Video
Jan 25th
Weathermen on TV come across as these friendly guys that are always looking out for the audience out there. If it’s too hot, they will tell us to wear sunscreen, drink plenty of water and to stay in the shade. And if it’s too cold, they will warn us about snow blizzards, icy roads and tell us not to forget gloves and a scarf when leaving the house. Plus, they always appear so happy and cheerful. Even at 5.30 in the morning.
But my theory is that it is all just for show. As long as the cameras are rolling everything is fine but as soon as the lights go out they hit the booze and start drowning kittens. Little fluffy kittens. That’s how evil they really are. Weathermen are among the most bitter and hateful people on this planet.
That is because TV weatherman is about the worst job you can have in the TV industry. Remember that movie Weatherman with Nicholas Cage? No, of course you don’t. It was about a weatherman!!! Here’s a cool quote from the movie though which pretty much sumps it all up and saves me a lot of explaining:
I remember once imagining what my life would be like, what I’d be like. I pictured having all these qualities, strong positive qualities that people could pick up on from across the room. But as time passed, few ever became any qualities that I actually had. And all the possibilities I faced and the sorts of people I could be, all of them got reduced every year to fewer and fewer. Until finally they got reduced to one, to who I am. And that’s who I am, the weather man.
The following video is a nice selection of outtakes and shows that behind the friendly, smiling face on TV lures a menacing murderer – if we’re lucky.
