Shake Your Peanuts?

09.11.07 star Culture star 6 comments

You may already be aware of my dislike for all most things Disney, but the evil genius behind this clip has got me reconsidering my temperament towards them. Not so long ago my wife heard the kids from a distance singing some song she had not heard before. Curious she got closer to apprehend what the song may be. To her utter surprise she heard the words being sung “Shake, shake, shake your peenus” and quickly put a stop to the singing. I don’t know for a fact that the producers of the Mickey Mouse Club House Show were planing on the natural tendency of kids to enunciate words wrong. This does, however, seem suspicious given their proclivity towards including lewd references in their products. Play the clip at your own risk, it will be stuck in your head and please remove all children from the room before doing so.

Lego Hair Health Care

john edwardsHere he comes mister Lego hair with a stupendous plan to make everyone healthy. Not unlike his promise that Christopher Reeve would still be alive if he was in charge of stem cell research, John Edwards is promising in his campaign to be the next president with the best hair and to provide health care for everyone. The best part about his proposal is mandatory check ups. Well I for one can’t wait for my nanny government to require me to go to the doctors. It was a tough enough job for my mother to get me to go.

Shaky-Cam Go Away

bourneI recently saw Bourne Whatever. I was wondering why directors feel the need to add shaky cam to all fight scenes these days. Ok we get it, it’s a crazy fight, everything is spinning and shaking when they get hit… this awful filming technique it seems could be blamed on The Blair Witch project, which was more a result of a low budget film then any sophisticated technique. Hopefully this useless visual effect will soon go by the way side much like “Bullet-Time”, which was made famous by the Matrix and vanished after being mocked in animated films like Shrek. About the only thing gained by some from this visual effect is nausea.
