NBA Mascot Eats Cheerleader(s)

Posted in WTF, funny, videos with tags , , , , , , , on March 1, 2010 by absurddelight

It only takes 26 seconds people. Just click and watch as that quasi-inflatable bubble faced dinosaur swallows the perky cheerleader whole.

But where exactly does she go? And what happens next?

OK, this is actually common. More vids after the jump. Read more »

Conceptually Terrible –> Zen Bafflement

Posted in WTF, funny, videos with tags , , , , , on August 9, 2009 by absurddelight

Another installment of terrible You Tube videos that are so bad they’re like a dirty procrastination pleasure.

Please note the special effects, the costumes, the crisp recording of the audio track. There is talent hidden deep within this seemingly pointless debacle of film.

Like previous WTF videos posted on AD, XXX-Mas Kitten demonstrates that an amatuer filmmaker can, in fact, invest considerable time on a project, develop true technical abilities, and still churn out a video worth watching solely because it is so conceptually terrible that the mind freezes with confusion resulting in a kind of Zen bafflement.

Enjoy.

Woman to Marry a Carnival Ride – Seriously

Posted in WTF, news and media with tags , , , , , , , , on August 6, 2009 by absurddelight

Once again the British Daily Telegraph scoops US papers on a doozy of a local story.

…a US church organist who claims to have objectum sexuality – a condition that makes sufferers attracted to inanimate objects – plans to marry a magic carpet fairground ride.

Now you are probably a bit confused. How can a 33 year old Pennsylvania woman wed a mechanical gondola ride you ask? Not really sure. We are still befuddled on that legal point. But she really means it:

Miss Wolfe … will change her surname to Weber after the manufacturer of the ride she travels 160 miles to visit 10 times per year, according to reports. [Absurd Delight would love to know of which reports they speak] …“I love him as much as women love their husbands and know we’ll be together forever,” she said.

Check out the full article for a few more choice quotes that, though brief, reveal that this woman really is in love.  She is mocked yes. But that love is part of who she is, and she will act on it no matter how she might be treated, not unlike brave homosexual lovers from an earlier, less tolerant time. So really, she’s at the vanguard of a sexual identity movement in the making. Is loving a machine so strange?

No, but letting yourself get written up in an international newspaper for marrying metal sure invites derision.

Especially when you lie down underneath it and rub oil all over yourself in near orgasmic bliss on camera. Watch video here.

In the video you can really hear her passion: the way Amy Wolfe talks about why she loves the ride is not all that different from how a preservationist talks about a beautiful building. She’s like an architecture critic from a sex crazed parallel universe.

Or for pic of Amy Wolfe and the complete article: link.

BONUS: Here’s video of a woman who married the Eiffel tower.

New Watermelon Design

Posted in WTF, art and design, business, neato with tags , , , on June 21, 2009 by absurddelight

Here’s another couple pics from the strange fruit file.

The back story is unconfirmed, but it appears to be just another fine example of intrepid boldness in the face of mundane financial obstacles, like unused cubic inches in a shipping container. Stupid conventional watermelons, just don’t stack well.

See below how much easier the labeling is too. Read more »

So, um, what would a diaper look like for this thing?

Cyber Stalker Outsmarts NBC Reporter

Posted in WTF, funny, news and media, videos with tags , , , , on June 2, 2009 by absurddelight

Admit it, you love it when your local news reporter blindsides some scumbag in his office or home to ask him if he has stopped beating his wife, or some other such question bound to enrage and embarrass the poor criminal.

Well if the scum a) is functionally crazy, and b) works in a costume shop, the formula doesn’t work out so well for the reporter.

My favorite line is “please take off the rabbit head.” And guess what? There’s another mask on underneath.

Best part is that the alleged cyber-stalker gets in a few plugs for her website. On second thought, I think she’s a genius, and not crazy at all.

Here’s the back story:

Cranston police have arrested an alleged cyberstalker. Ann Bruno, a local costume shop owner, is accused of using a computer to harass a competitor. NBC 10s Jim Taricani attempted to question her about it in what turned out to be an unusual interview.”

And, because why not, let’s take this oppportunity to compare this NBC debacle of an interview to the NBC debacle of a series, To Catch a Predator. That’s the horrendous, self-righteous TV show where host Chris Hansen essentially entraps aspiring online child molesters. What would Chris Hansen have done here? Nothing. This is way better programing.

For a good time, listen to some highlights of Catching a Predator excerpted for maximum out of context absurdity.

Free Viagra!! Free Willy!!

Posted in WTF, business with tags , , , on May 14, 2009 by absurddelight

An annotated photo essay. What do these photos make you think of?

DRUGS!!!

So get this: Pfizer has decided to give something back to the flacid community. If you get laid off, don’t worry, you can still get laid (cue rimshot, thank you very much). Little blue pills to come with your unemployment check.

People who qualify will receive their Pfizer medicines for free for up to 12 months or until they become re-insured (whichever comes first). More than 70 Pfizer primary care medicines will be available through the program.

So, this is part generous, part smart business and part plain old drug pushing. Keep ‘em hooked and it’ll bring in the bucks in the long run.

Interested? Here are the criteria:

  • Loss of employment since January 1, 2009
  • Prescribed and taking a Pfizer medicine for at least 3 months prior to becoming unemployed and enrolling in the program
  • Lack of prescription drug coverage
  • Can attest to financial hardship

Foolish FEMA makes 9/11 Coloring Book

Posted in WTF, art and design, news and media with tags , , , on May 6, 2009 by absurddelight

Really? I mean, really?

Just try to get your mind to bend and contort into emergency response planner mode. Because, apparently, that’s when it’s a good idea to make a kids coloring book about 9/11 and other tragedies. This makes us safer, damn it!

Here’s one you can print out and color for yourself.

A New Way to Make Spaghetti

Posted in WTF, accidental art, neato with tags , , on April 24, 2009 by absurddelight

Is this food art, a gross meal, or both?  Would you eat it? And are you supposed to eat food art anyway? Maybe the beauty is in the taste alone… bleh.

Take dried spaghetti, jam into hot dog and boil.

Ketchup? Mustard?

Anyway, there’s more, with colored spaghetti and full sized wieners. I admire the creativity here. Read more »

“Hello, 911? I’m Locked in My Car and I’m Stupid”

Posted in WTF, funny with tags , , on April 20, 2009 by absurddelight

Audio only. But it’s short and it’s worth it. This terribly uniformed woman calls 911 because she doesn’t know how to unlock her car door from the inside.

Really, the dispatcher is quite nice about the whole thing.
