There were some serious things I could have blogged about this morning, but it didn't happen. I'm just feeling unserious. It's happy time. And nothing made me laugh more this week than the "product reviews" on the John McCain golf store. It took them days to realise what was going on.
I think this one is my favourite:
Reviewer: Kim Jong il from Pyongyang, North Korea
Your balls are tiny compared to my huge North Korean balls ! I have a huge missile. Suck it hard suck it hard you puny Americans. If you don't obey I will tickle you or give you Chinese water torture!
There are more examples and screen grabs here.
Moving along, one of the WFMU bloggers has posted some of his massive collection of arresting images from the culture. It has a kind of mute brilliance that makes me feel very well.
Our older boy inherited an iPod Nano after a family upgrade, and I made him a couple of playlists of Music a Young Man Ought Listen To. And he did. But eventually, he admitted that what he'd really like is this. So I went to the iTunes Store and bought him an entire Breaking Benjamin album for his new iPod. It sounds fucking awful to me.
I'm just going to embed some clips of proper music in the comments for this post now. You may care to join me. Remember, just the URL, no embedding code. And if your YouTube URL doesn't have a "www", you need to add one.
