Our month long look at insanity turns now to look at a figure from history who was known as The Mad Monk — Grigori Efimovich Rasputin. He’s known best for helping ease the pains of hemophillia of the Tsarist family, his huge sexual appetite and that it took him seemingly forever to die (despite being shot and poisoned, it took drowing to finally do him in).

Now, one problem with looking at an historical figure commonly known to be insane is that history is always written by the winners. In this case, the winners were the communist revolutionists of 1917, Russia. But historians of all political persuations seem to agree that he was definitely a whacknoodle, albeit a really entertaining whacknoodle.

“Vision is controlled hallucination” — Max Clowes

Vision is a tricky sense. According to my home state, I’m legally blind, so maybe my vision is trickier than most other people’s. I have monocular vision, which means that it is technically impossible for me to see in three dimensions (or, at least, that’s what they tell me).

I do remember all of those terrible times trying to walk up and down stairs because I could not see where I should put my feet. I usually just gave up walking and scooted on my hands and knees. However, at my advanced age, I can tell through color and shadow where my feet should go.

Although we filter light and color through our eyes, it’s our brains that actually do the seeing. The images our retinas project to our brains are all upside-down, but out brains easily switch things around. And this is where the fun begins, especially if you are digging around YouTube.

And now, for my final contribution of dug Chaser’s War madness.

In this road test, the Chaser’s decide to test porn video scenarios in the real world to see how real women will react. With scenarios including the handy man and the pizza delivery man, you can be assured this another one of the Chaser’s fine television moments.

Enjoy. (more…)

As I’ve said before, one of my most favorite things about Australian television is the amount of sex – be it straightforward, implied, or innuendo – is used in advertising. It’s a mark of a country that accepts sex for what it is and doesn’t have hang-ups over it.

I think you’ll find this commercial – the very first commercial I saw over here that made my jaw drop – quite funny. I’ll caution you if you have a fear of spiders. Or maybe I should encourage you instead…

For those of you who don’t know, I’m Australian, formerly American. One of the very first things I noticed coming to Oz was the freedom Aussie advertisers have with commercials. Not only do people swear on television (not something you’d see often at all in the States, for you non-Americans), but there are often references to sex of all kinky kinds.

This isn’t the first one I saw (I’ll post that up in the future), but it is definitely one of my favorites. You only have to watch to see why.

Enjoy.

I’m a big fan of Dr. Who and am an avid reader of Elisa’s Watching Dr Who. Saturday’s episode incredible and if you don’t believe me, then watch the evidence of 2 women having what will forever now be called a “whogasm”. I can’t take credit for the name myself, instead the uploader of the video named it as such. Warning! The following video contains spoilers for the show, and also strong language. You have been warned, so if you still want to watch, click to follow the jump…

This is much closer to the truth than the original adverts depicting PCs Vs Macs, and it took a parody to get to that truth.

As a tribute to that Prison bound waste of space that is Paris Hilton, here is the music video for her song ‘Jealousy’. And what a load of absolute crap it is. The video itself is as exciting as watching paint dry, with Paris standing there singing in to a mic. The director probably thought we’d want to look at her gormless face gurning, and moaning it’s way through this dirge, and maybe some people like that sort of thing, but not me. When she tries to look sexy and sultry, she always ends up looking like someone has just tickled her ass with a feather.

I can’t wait for this movie to come out, but I’m going to have to wait until July 27th to be able to get my Simpsons big screen fill. The film shouldn’t disappoint though, having been written by eleven of the TV series most prolific writers.

This video is hilarious, and until I saw it, I’d never even heard the original song. The thing is the internet IS for porn… oh and blogging, YouTube videos, online TV, social networking yadda yadda yadda.

Oh mama, it’s finally happened, that embrace and sexual awakening that I, Joey and many, many millions of men and women around the world wanted to see. Yes, Jennifer Anniston and Courteney Cox Arquette have kissed! A massive cheer goes up from the crowd, and then something else goes up, in men’s pants everywhere.
