Post-Punk Superhero Rockstars
Tolle Superhelden-Rockstar-Mashups von Butcher Bill aus Brasilien, dessen Real Life Supervillains ich neulich erst gebloggt hatte: Billy Idol als Aquaman, Siouxsie Sioux als Wonder Woman, Devo als Flash, Robert Smith als Plasticman, Morrissey als Supes oder Ian Curtis als Batman. Super!
As a child of the 80′s I was heavily influenced by everything from saturday morning cartoons on TV to the music coming from the radio. Ian Curtis or Johnny Rotten are as iconic to me as Superman or Batman. Real people or imaginary characters, the incorruptible ideals of perfect superheroes or the human flaws and desires sometimes so desperately depicted in song lyrics – all of those influences affect us to the point of defining our character and personality, career paths and life choices.
George Takei reviews a Fresh Whole Rabbit
George Takei hat offensichtlich seinen Spaß auf Amazon, nach David Hasselhofs Best Of hat er jetzt einen kompletten frischen Hasen rezensiert. Spoiler: „Tastes like Chicken“.
Brad and I were very excited to order a few of these delectable beauties in order to reenact the skinning and spitting-over-an-open-fire scene from Game of Thrones. Now, I hate to split hares, but…
First of all, it is NOT at all as easy as it looks in that scene. Meera and Osha made it look so simple. But both Brad and I pulling together couldn’t get that damn skin off. The rabbit wound up looking more like Theon Greyjoy’s finger than a rabbit. Second, apparently you cannot light an open fire in your backyard in Los Angeles. No one told us that. Thanks, LAFD, for understanding. Third, it pretty much tastes like chicken.

George Takei reviews The Hoff
Der große George Takei rezensiert das Jahrhundertwerk Looking For… Best of David Hasselhoff:
When “Knight Rider” and “Bay Watch” ended, I felt a distinct void in my life. Without Hasselfhoff’s bouncing pecs gracing my television, life simply felt drab and unfulfilling.
Imagine my delight when I discovered that Hasselhoff had not disappeared at all, but rather REEMERGED, this time as a serious force in music. It reminded me of when Leonard Nimoy had recorded his stirring tribute to Tolkien, “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins.” It was that moving and momentous for me.
Honestly, few Americans truly appreciate how Hasselhoff singularly reshaped the entire landscape of German music. Auf wiedersehen, Amadeus. Hasselhoff ist hier!
I particularly recommend the track “Do the Limbo Dance” but am giving the album just four stars because I’m a bit disappointed that he didn’t stick with the original German version, “Tanzen Limbo, Ya!”
Audrey Hepburns Tiny Hand is still tiny
Vor einem Jahr bloggte ich über das Tumblr One Tiny Hand, normalerweise gibt’s solche Blogs für zwei oder drei Wochen, dann verlieren die Leute meistens die Lust. One Tiny Hand verpasst jetzt seit einem Jahr Promis seltsame, kleine Hände und Audrey Hepburns Tiny Hand musste ich mir unbedingt hier reinkleben weil Audrey.
Miss South Koreas Plastic Surgery GIF’d
Das Bild oben zeigt die Anwärterinnen auf den Miss Südkorea-Titel nach, das darunter vor Schönheitsoperationen und ein animiertes GIF zeigt die Damen nochmal in all ihrer Roboterhaftigkeit.
[update] Kotaku hat ein paar Korrekturen der Story, angefangen davon, dass die Damen oben nicht um den Miss South Korea-Titel streiten bis dass das untere Bild eben nicht die oberen Damen zeigt:
They are actually the 2013 Miss Daegu contestants and not Miss Korea contestants. The winner of the Miss Daegu contest competes in the Miss Korea pageant. It’s a bit like saying Miss Texas contestants are Miss America contestants. They’re not.
What’s more, the below photo was uploaded on Reddit as an example of how the contestants look prior to being processed. However, they’re not actually the alleged “clone contestants”. They’re actually contestants for Miss Seoul (more here on Beauty Hankook). So, of course, they’d look different. They’re totally different people.
Von Reddit:
I live in Seoul. Relevant link to show how great k surgeons are: http://kpsurgery.tumblr.com/.
1) You arent racist. Those women in fact do look unnervingly similar and yes, Koreans think so too. This is because they all get the exact same plastic surgeries and the surgeons follow the same formulas for noses and eyes and everything else theyve had done (fillers, cheek and forehead implants, eye surgery, nose surgery, jaw reduction, breast job, calf muscle job, fat grafting etc). Every single one of them has had nose and eye surgery. Those faces costed those girls thousands. Also dont underestimate makeup, theyve got it caked on in a similar style.
2). Those are called the Korean plastic face look. In certain areas of Seoul, you would think all the women are sisters because they look so similar due to same surgeries. Koreans cant tell them apart ether. Theyre jokingly referred to as “Samsung Robots”.
Mark Zuckerbergs Head on a Stick: Facebook-Icecream
Vor zwei Jahren bloggte ich über die Mickey- und Darth-Vader-Eis-am-Stiels der russischen Agentur Stoyn, danach hatten sie noch ein paar 3D-Renderings einer neuen Reihe mit Horror-Charakteren, die nie wirklich rauskamen und jetzt haben sie offensichtlich einen Mark-am-Stiel für Facebook produziert:
As you all know, Mark Z. is colorblind, and he sees blue better.Butterfly pea flowers (Clitoria Ternatea) give this deep blue color and are used as natural dye. But more important is that Butterfly Pea Flower tea is incredibly helpful in sharpening eyesight and eliminating eye fatigue. It definitely should be the favorite tea of all programmers and everybody who spends a lot of time in front of a computer. Mark Z ice-lollies are intended to be direct marketing to Facebook office.
Justin Bieber is King Joffrey Baratheon
Dürfte natürlich besser geshoppt sein, passt aber auch so: Joffrey Bieber, „Where fiction’s biggest brat and real life’s biggest brat become one!“ Und ich wünsch mir jetzt einmal die Ohrfeigen-Szene mit Joffrey/Bieber und Tyrion als GIF im Loop. Macht das wer?

Anne Frank, Belieber
Unbeliebable: Geht Justin Bieber ins Anne Frank Haus in Amsterdam und meint so:
Yesterday night Justin Bieber visited the Anne Frank House, together with his friends and guards. Fans were waiting outside to see a glimpse of him. He stayed more than an hour in the museum. In our guestbook he wrote: “Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber.”
Justin Bieber hopes Anne Frank ‘would have been a belieber’
Das Anne Frank Haus dazu:
‘He’s 19, it’s a strange life he’s living, it wasn’t very sensible but he didn’t mean bad…’ – @annefrankhouse press office

Winona Ryder in High School
Winona was a little Punk! Und nachdem sie in der Schule als Lesbe gemobbt wurde, hat sie Jahre später ihre Rache gekriegt. Go, girl!
I was wearing an old Salvation Army shop boy’s suit. As I went to the bathroom I heard people saying, ‘Hey, faggot’. They slammed my head into a locker. I fell to the ground and they started to kick the shit out of me. I had to have stitches. The school kicked me out, not the bullies.
“Years later, I went to a coffee shop and I ran into one of the girls who’d kicked me, and she said, ‘Winona, Winona, can I have your autograph?’ And I said, ‘Do you remember me? Remember in seventh grade you beat up that kid?’ And she said, ‘Kind of’. And I said, ‘That was me. Go fuck yourself.’
Huey Lewis as American Psycho in the Huey Lewis-Scene in American Psycho, axing Weird Al Yankovich
Huey Lewis spielt die Huey Lewis-Szene aus American Psycho als American Psycho und zerhackt Weird Al Yankovich. It’s American Psycho all the way down… Americanpsychoception. OMG! OMFG! Das ist nahzu un-top-bar. Besser wäre höchstens gewesen, er hätte Phil Collins zerhackt. ZOMG! ZOMFG!
[update] Der schmeisst sich im Bad ein paar Pillen von – Achtung! – Huey Lewis’ New Drug! OMG! Brillant!
