World's tallest 'snowwoman" unveiled in Maine

BETHEL, Maine (AP) — The world's tallest snowman, which is actually a snowwoman, is being unveiled in the western Maine town of Bethel.
"Olympia," named for Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe, is said to be about 122 feet tall. That's 10 feet taller than "Angus, King of the Mountain," who has held the record as tallest snowman since 1999. He was named for Angus King, who was governor at the time.

Olympia's creators say she has eyelashes made from skis and bright red lips crafted from painted tires. She wears a giant pink hat and gets some bling from a snowflake pendant that's more than six feet in diameter. Her arms were created from pine trees.

-It looks like something I've seen before...

That's not the words

An Italian Jamiroquai cover band, whose singer does not know the correct English to properly "cover" the song.

Awkward

This is kind of funny. It makes a compelling argument: one should be able to dance, not cry; though one could do either to the tune of MC Hammer. Look at that last picture.

This is news?

Apparently the New York Times considers this some of that "news that's fit to print:"

Man uses semicolon correctly.

And it's not even the Onion.

Check the headliners!

You even misspelled your own name?

I know you all subscribe to Courtney Love's myspace blog already, so this is probably old news. Also, it's borderline TL;DR, but it offers some insight into the retarded, semi-literate, drunken mind of a celebrity slob (and by extension, it's an indictment of our own retarded, semi-literate, drunken culture for letting people like this anywhere near a keyboard or TV camera).

someone posted a friend of mines phone number and says its mine this jackass Karmi, on a website that is coming down but frankly i have waaay more relevanat things to do than worry about a website with insanely inflated viewing numbers some tiny clusterfuck of annoyance that i only ever rememeber when i ( rarely ) go on the internet as i am making music films and raising a child conducting my life getting laid and tivoing suze orman- so wtf?

Christ Jesus. "i get the lawyeres whow eresorty of moseying to hurry and take thaT" WTF? I could huff the Jenkum of Bangkok crack whores followed by funneling mescal and absinthe and type with my freaking elbows and still write more coherent sentances than this. And God Damn It, those little marks above the numbers on your keyboard aren't just there for decoration - use 'em.

No wonder Kurt put a shotgun in his mouth.

A helpful blog about what white people like.

Conspicuously absent from the list: making fun of white people.

Madlib, the movie

The only way I can rationalize the existance of this video is that someone decided to re-enact a particularly funny madlib. I imagine it looked something like this:

A (gerund) man, wearing only a (article of clothing) and (article of clothing), cooked (food) and then tried to feed this to a (noun). Afterwards he (dance craze)'d to a medley of music by (popular artist).

Of course, the blanks in the case would be, respectively: dancing, horse mask, gas mask, wild mushrooms, cartoon character, striptease, michael jackson.

Some bourbon and cigarettes with that magazine, sir?

For whatever reason, there's been a Life magazine dated November 26, 1971 (title: "The Brain: Part IV: Chemistry of Madness") lying on the sofa in the carport for the past few weeks--I finally picked it up today, flipped through it and was struck by the advertisements. Particularly, the number of ads for vices.

In the rag's 97 pages (including inside front cover and inside/outside back cover), there are 49 advertisements. By sheer numbers, ads for cigarettes lead the pack with nine pages, followed by whiskey with six ads over about 5 1/2 pages.

Far behind but tied for third place are wrist watches with three ads, including an offer to receive a Bullwinkle timepiece through the mail, and ads for automobiles. The only other product that advertises more than once is televisions.

Some of the more interesting promotions are those for an alcoholic drink called "Hop'n Gator," a send-this-ad-with-money offer for a "Swedish army officer's coat," and an offer for readers to send in four proofs of purchase from Sylvania flashcubes in exchange for two pillow cases (?).

An interesting sidebar: the ad on the back cover of the magazine is for "Tareyton" cigarettes, which I wonder have anything to do with the animated "Tarryltons" cigarette billboard in Idiocracy.

Atlanta Film Festival

This is really more of a reminder to myself than an actual post, but I'm thinking that we should do a Dragon*Con-esque interview movie with directors/actors/whatnot at the Atlanta Film Festival this year. Get Justin to come down, walk around and interview the directors/actors about their shitty movies, and--voila!--instant classic.

April 10-19. They've also got meet-and-greets and parties, which would be perfect venues.
