Caught in the Internet

Just thought I'd get a post with a few of the choicest slices of the recent internet, for your amusement. And, you know, for archival purposes. Someday, someone's going to want a record of all this crap.

First up. Eric, the Head Writer on our show, sent me this link of Channel 101's Rob Schrab in a pilot called "Thriller Chiller Theatre." It can be faithfully described as either hilariously odd, or oddly hilarious, and will make you want to be friends with Rob Schrab. Look at all that egg skin.

Up next, a pool from venerable photo site Flickr. In a stroke of mad genius, someone decided to show people Goetse for the first time, then capture their immediate reactions on digital film. The results are hilarious, and now that he's encouraged other people to follow in his footsteps and tag Flickr photos, you are guaranteed to find the mirror image of your own first reaction.

This one's my favorite:



Oh, and if you don't know what Goetse is ... um ... well ... don't Google it at work. Wikipedia has a tasteful article, if you're really intrigued but don't want to be mentally scarred yet.

And finally, in insane film director news, we showed off the trailer to Mel Gibson's new film "Apocalypto" on the show last week. The trailer itself is pretty interesting, but what's most interesting is a single frame of the trailer, where Gibson inserted a picture of himself, grinning wildly to camera.



This picture should be all the evidence you need to defend Mel Gibson the next time someone tries to call him crazy. He is not crazy. He is batshit crazy. The good kind. An inspiration.

This picture hangs on my desk.
