First post in over a year, WUT?!

Sorry, I guess? I just started thinking about Weezle Hunt again and I was like, damn, what happened... Also turns out I've earned $2.25 in advertising revenue, Kaching! Makin' ends meet...

Anyway, not to deviate from the purpose of this site, check this flippin shit out. I mean. What the shit.



You can become a fan of Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws on Facebook for some regular updates and similar shizzle.

What I ACTUALLY do when I'm bored in class

I doodle.

ACTUALLY.

And I've found an appropriate site on which to share my doodle content with the world... Doodurls!

You can scroll through all the submitted doodles, comment on them, submit your own, that kinda jazz.
They've even featured one of my creations on Doodurls:

The 5 Best Flashmobs on Youtube

In no particular order, I bring to your attention the 5 best flashmobs on youtube.

Frozen Grand Central

One of the most famous and most watched flashmobs on youtube (so far over 18m views). This one was pulled off by the pioneers of of the modern flashmob, Improv Everywhere, in Grand Central Station, New York (click link to see more of Improv Everywhere's stunts and mobs).

The T-mobile Dance

Another flashmob with over 10m views on youtube and one of the best viral marketing campaigns I know of. This one was organised by T-mobile in the UK and pulled off in Liverpool Street Station (I guess train stations are the in-place for flashmobs?).

Latvian Folk Dance

Not many views on this one, but it was only done a few days ago (20 August 2009), so I'm sure it'll go viral pretty soon! This one features a birds-eye-view shot on the mob which makes it look even cooler. Fancy.

Michael Jackson Tribute

There are many MJ Tribute flashmobs in different locations around the world floating about youtube. This is one that happened in Stockholm, Sweden. It's not strictly a flashmob due to the apparent forewarning, judging by the gathered audience, but still pretty sweet!

The Sound of Music with a Twist

I believe this one's in the Netherlands, can't really tell... but awesome none the less!

Anyone have a better flashmob and wish to prove me wrong? Post the URL in the comments below!

The Europe Test

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been quite busy lately, but I've found this fucking sweet video you must see. I swear this shit is going viral soon so be one of the first to see it! It'll make you lol, cringe and cry with despair all at the same time. I like to call it the lolcrynge.

Crazy is as crazy emails

A somewhat similar venture to Emails from an Asshole, but definately worth knowing about, is Emails From Crazy People. This one is full of user sumbitted what-the-fuck-crazy-for-real email conversations. A brilliant time waster if you have an assignment due tomorrow.

Heres a shining example of what you may expect (not actually an email, but suitably crazy):

Teachers. You respect them when you're a child and they are so much bigger than you... but in a few years you come to realise the idiots that some of them really are.

Disproportionate Faces Scare Me.

Fellow blog The Fire Wire has put together a bunch of pictures of what cartoons would look like if they were real. This one is truly a pearler.

Hottest 'real' cartoon goes to Jessica Rabbit:

Scariest/weirdest looking 'real' cartoon goes to Homer Simpson:

See the rest of the untooned toons HERE.

WARNING: Content may cause arousal or disgust.

Humour site Cracked.com have put together a list of The 25 Most Disturbing Sex Toys. I usually try to keep my content reasonably clean (by the standards of the internet anyway), but this one is toeing the line a bit... So, before you read any further, I will warn you that this may destroy innocence and cause nightmares (or nice dreams depending on your perspective). It is not for the faint hearted. You may stop reading now if you wish...

BUT, if you have a sick, twisted sense of humour like me, you'll be filled to the brim with anticipation and keep reading.

The list gives a picture of the toy and brief description of how it is used. The toys range from funny, to offensive, to painful, to downright weird. The most distasteful and offensive (but frankly hilarious) toy in my opinion was #21 - The Baby Jesus Butt Plug.

Some people have a fetish for having their saviour in infant form wedged in their rear end...?

See the full list HERE (remember, you have been warned).

It's the smo-o-o-o-o-oke

I found a pearler of a video. It's part of the Auto Tune the News Series (the best one in my opinion). I won't tell you much, it speaks for itself...

Fugly Ink

Some tattoos are cool. Some tattoos are cute. Some tattoos are badass.

But SOME tattoos are just downright UGLY.

Ugliest Tattoos is a website devoted to pictures of poorly drawn, poorly spelled and just plain stupid tattoos that some idiots are going to be stuck with for life.

One of my personal spine tinglers is the troll:

This is why I'm fat

Some of you may remember when I posted a link to the website This is Why You're Fat. I scrolled through that whole site gazing over the culinary miracles before my eyes. I wanted to try them. All of them. Each and every one. I was gutted at the absense of recipes. Some of the food on display, however, seemed quite simple. Simple enough to try out...

One stood out in particular. The McGangBang. Two friends and I decided to give this a shot, so we skipped down to our local McDonalds at about 1am.

Voila le McGangBang:

It's quite simple:

Get a McDonalds Double Cheeseburger.

Pull it apart at the patties.

Slap a McChicken in the middle.

Put it together again and enjoy that filthy mother fucker.

My McGangBang after I'd taken a few bites (and Tom bombing the photo):

It tasted good. So good. So mother fucking good. But this little culinary treat comes with a warning. It does fucked up shit to your body. The side effects we experienced were: Chest pain, bloatedness, increased heart rate, and weird shit happening to your digestive system that I don't really want to go into much detail about.

Give it a shot, but have the emergency number ready just in case.

Obama-mania gone weird

When Barack Obama was elected president of the USA in late 2008, Obama-mania swept the world. People cried with joy and hugged strangers in the street. Fair enough. Some Japanese toymaker brought out a Barack Obama action figure.

No surprises there. We all saw it coming.

But then shit got a bit weird...

I don't even know what the fuck he's doing in this one...

See the full set of photos of Obama in various weeeiiiird (but hilarious) poses HERE.

2222 Toothpicks = How many trees?

As years pass and the procrastination movement gets exponentially stronger, world records just keep getting wackier. George Gaspar holds the world record for holding the most toothpicks in his beard... 2222 toothpicks. Yes. Two thousand, two hundred and twenty two.

Watch the video...

And see the article on the Universal Record Database here.

Surprise!

Improv Everywhere are a group from New York who pull public stunts for fun. This one wasn't so much of a stunt, just a super cool thing to do. They gave some random newlyweds who they didn't even know a surprise wedding reception! Watch the video, it'll melt your heart...

To check out some of Improv Everywhere's other cool, crazy and hilarious stunts, click here.

"Where dreams become heart attacks..."

This is a website devoted to the most disgustingly fatty/sugary/salty but god damn delicious food in the world. Scroll through and feast your eyes on pictures that will make your mouth water but your arteries cry out for mercy.

My personal favourite is the deep fried cheeseburger on a stick. Om nom nom...

Valuable Spider

David Thorne was a bit short of cash and behind in paying his bills. He received a letter reminding him to pay the $233.95 that he owed. He replied:

I do not have any money so am sending you this drawing I did of a spider instead.
I value the drawing at $233.95 so trust that this settles the matter.

The story made news reports and radio talk shows around the world. See the full email exchange between David and the company at his website here.

While you're there, take some time to have a look at his other articles and email exchanges, you will laugh til you cry... guaranteed.

Edible networking strategy?!

Being a marketing student, I learn a lot about consumer wants and needs...

Who the fuck wants or needs business cards made of meat?!

Words... Fail... Me...

Meatcards

That's what she said

Oh yes, she did just say that. This is the Overheard series of websites. They're websites with a collection of quoted weird and hilarious overheard conversations in public spaces. Lots of places have their own Overheard website. Why, even little New Zealand has its own Overheard site.

On of my favourite Overheards comes from Overheard in New York:

Sick cop to another: The way I see it, you've got seven holes in your head. If you don't wanna get sick, you just gotta keep your fingers out of those seven holes. Then you'll be good.

Here's the collection of Overheard websites I've found: 

Overheard in...

New Zealand

New York

London

Dublin (Most of the ones here are even written in a cute leprechaun-slang kind of dialect)

The Office

The Classroom

Everywhere

They're definitely worth a look if you're bored/procrastinating/wanting some lols.

Keeping Warm this Winter

For those of us lucky enough to live in the southern hemisphere, winter is rearing its butt-ugly head and giving us all the willies. Fortunatley you can find a few solutions to the cold on the majestic, all powerful, all knowing internet. Give those shitty, oversized power bills a big, wet kiss goodbye.

The Selk Bag

Remember when you used to have sleeping bag races as kids? Or maybe you don't. But I do. If only I had one of these, I would've totally owned those races. This is a wearable sleeping bag with sleeves and legs that zip up, and a lovely snuggly hood. This item is sure to keep you warm, but the price will give you the chills - US$124.20. If anyone does decide to invest in this, be sure to post a review in the form of a comment below.

The Slanket

A massive fleecy blanket... with SLEEVES :D This thing looks so god damn comfy and warm; I'd totally buy one if my overdraft wasn't nearly at its limit. The Slanket won't set you back as much as the Selk Bag, at a cost of US$56.50 for the full sized version. 

Learn The "Single Ladies" Dance

There's no cheaper, easier way to warm yourself up than to get up and move around a bit. Grab yourself a copy of "Single Ladies" by Beyonce and learn the dance from the video. This charming young man is here to help you. Go on, give it a shot.

Innovation? Or just a high-tech pedophilia gadget?

Switched, a news/blog site on all things geeky and technological. They've just released a very interesting piece on 8 Weird GPS Devices. 

One of the weirdest of weird in my opinion is the GPS School Uniform. That's right, devices sewn into kids school uniforms to track their location. Innovative, maybe, for those suspicious parents who want to know their child's every move, but maybe just a teensy weensy bit of privacy invasion...? And if some charming man with a socially frowned-upon fetish managed to access this GPS data? 

But anyway, it's a quirky invention none the less.

Insanity in the form of bacon...

The bacon explosion. Holy crap. Just typing it out right now  makes me want to stick  my hair in a power point, turn it on, see what happens... This thing is like a deity. You love it and fear it at the same time. I have yet to try it for myself, but I will soon, I'm sure. In the meantime, if anyone else  would like to give it a shot, give me feedback and photos!

The Bacon Explosion Recipe

Mmmm... baby I love you but... fuck, you scare me.
