This is simply brilliant. Have you seen it yet?

Japanese Bug Fights!

I stumbled across this website on

Japanese Bug Fights!

Uck! This is utterly disgusting, like watching the “giant centipede eats a mouse” youtube video. But I can’t help but be fascinated by these battles and watch them in their entirety.

The cast of contenders includes most all of Earth’s giant multi-legged creatures. From crayfish to spiders to centipedes to insects. They’ve 30 battle videos posted so far and you’d be surprised to find out which bug wins in the nefarious pairings. Let me just say that the potato bug (or Jerusalem cricket) kicks ass — that’s one tough bug.

The rules are as follows:

Two Bugs to a fight
Bug fights go on as long as they have to
No outside weapons in Bug Fights

These vids will make your skin crawl.

*Watch at your own risk — you can’t say I didn’t try to warn you.

Rubber Johnny

I love this. I first saw this short three or four years ago, and now it’s on DVD. :) It’s so reminiscent of David Lynch’s Eraserhead. It’s made by Chris Cunningham who’s done a couple of Björk videos. I want this on my big screen now! Why doesn’t Netflix have it?

From Youtube’s page:

Rubber Johnny is a 6 minute experimental short film and music video directed by Chris Cunningham in 2005, using music composed by Aphex Twin.

The concept for Rubber Johnny came from Cunningham imagining a raver morphing as he danced. The idea evolved to the present film, in which Johnny (played by Cunningham) is an isolated mutant child with a huge overgrown cranium, strapped into a wheelchair and locked in a basement. Capable of morphing his body, he spends his life trying to amuse himself and his dog, a terrified chihuahua.

Diablo Cody on Letterman

Our favorite not-local-anymore girl was on Letterman again last Tuesday. Did you catch it? Well, I didn’t (no TV), so here it is from youtube:

Always on her game and ready for whatever Dave dishes out. Best line:

Diablo: Phone sex is great training for a screenwriter, because you’re having to try on all these different characters and I mean like — one day you’re a submissive red-head, the next day a German amputee.

Now we only have to await Jennifer’s Body starring Transformer’s Megan Fox. Can’t wait — although I guess I’ll have to for a year or so. Filming begins soon.

Here’s what Diablo had to say about it to MTV.

Will Chuck Norris Blend?

Best video ever. Top notch science at work.

Paying with Blank Paper (and Mind Control)

Wish I could pay my bills like this.

Have you seen Derren Brown on cable TV yet? Sort of another David Blaine type tricking people with diversion techniques, but this video is awfully clever.

Of course — we don’t get to see the fifteen outtakes that didn’t go this smoothly. Would you fall for it?
