Don’t believe me? Watch what happens when aFox News guest says “tits” on live TV:
Gigglefest! To be fair, that’s a totally appropriate reaction…if you’re in grade three. And who piped in the random sound effect? Via Gawker.
Dana Larsen is a moron. The erstwhile NDP candidate ended his campaign yesterday, after a series of drug videos featuring Larsen were discovered. I use the word ‘discovered’ loosely, since anyone with an internet connection and google could have found them.
Go here to watch Larsen smoke pot and drive around. For an hour and a half.
Larsen is not an idiot because he does drugs, or lobbies for the legalization of marijuana. That stuff is pretty light weight, and doesn’t overly impugn his intelligence. His short term memory, maybe. He is slightly more of an idiot for smoking pot and driving. But here’s what takes the dumbass cake for Larsen: he was undone by what is ultimately the most irritating thing about many habitual drug users.
He is so very, very boring.
A common misconception among drug users is that they are fascinating to others. And, that everyone is really interested in their experience with whatever intoxicant they happen to be on. Watching Dana Larsen get high and talk about being high is not interesting. It’s like being murdered with a tiny little knife. You know how when somebody says “I had this crazy dream last night…” and you know you’re in for an extremely boring next few minutes? Multiply this by a thousand, and you get an idea of what it’s like to watch Larsen prattle on about how “fried” he is.
So, to recap: Larsen’s political career was destroyed by his inability to recognize his own dullness. The videos that forced his resignation need never have existed, because they are totally without value, merit or entertainment. If he had kept his drug use to himself, he would still be in the race.
IGood riddance to bad rubbish. And as an extra bonus, we don’t need to worry about an elected official being high on acid while voting on important legislation.
Well, someone tell Lucifer to turn on the furnace. It’s bound to get a little cold down there, now that we have the first “official” single from Axl Rose/GnR’s long-delayed opus, Chinese Democracy.
The angle? Axl has decided to release it through Rock Band 2. Have a listen:
A bit of sonic departure for GnR. Apparently, Axl is taking the band in a new direction: away from “good” music and towards “another piece of my youth just died” music. Neat!

This is possibly the greatest two minutes of interview-based footage ever. I suspect this came out a while ago, but it deserves to be enshrined here on Nunc Scio. For as long as my servers continue to draw power.
Listen to the sweet glorious music as an Aussie senator attempts to explain the finer points of a 1991 oil spill:
I’m not sure if all Australian politicians talk like they’re in a Monty Python sketch, but I’m sure glad this one does. In fact, this is so bizarre, I half suspect it’s a gag. Anyone have any insight on this?
And special thanks to DS for the link.
UPDATE: Thanks to some intrepid research by one MN, it looks like these guys are actually a comedy duo- Clarke and Dawe.
At the request of good friend and audioblogger joshuavt.com, I’ve put together a quick and dirty guide to the Government of Canada’s recent funding cuts in the cultural sector. If you’re an artist, or work/volunteer in the arts community, you’ve probably been hearing a lot about these funding changes. And no doubt, one or several of your Facebook contacts have gone “faceless for the arts” in protest. But what’s it all about? Read the rest of this entry »
Sarah Palin, besides being a fundamentalist nutbunny without an ounce of original though or insight, has some fantastically bizarre names for her children: Track, Trig (short for ‘Trigger), Bristol, Willow, and Piper.
Now, thanks to the magic of internets, you can see what your name would’ve been if Palin was your mom with the Sarah Palin Baby Name Generator.
Barack Obama? He’d be Tarp Lazer Palin. Nineteenth-century British occultist Aleister Crowley? Chin Trout Palin. For my part, I’d be Ammo Canal Palin, and you would now be reading the Drink Hack Palin Blog.
What’s your Palinized name? Put it in the comments.
The CNN journalist reporting live from the rapidly dissolving Lehman Brothers apprently failed to notice the two gentlemen pretending to make out behind him:
Bravo to those guys for a) faking/making out with such conviction, and b) making CNN really uncomfortable. These people just lost their jobs. Howsabout giving them a little space, network news?
