sunnyskywalkerOkay, maybe if I only link to a single entry of Hello, Hedonism and state that I only support visits to this single entry rather than the entire blog...
Anyway, I am getting obsessed with the quirky things they have on this blog. The latest is a pair of presidential candidate music videos. One involves hot girls singing and dancing in the streets, some for Obama and some for Giuliani. As the site says, "you’ll find yourself singing “Giuliani for pre-si-dent/ Obama gotta re-pres-ent” for HOURS." The other is a single hot girl singing a love song to Hillary.
Now, hot girls singing about how presidential candidates make them hot is a little disturbing, but it also makes a good satirical point: you often hear about candidates "courting" voters and "wooing" the public, right? And we all know that the tall guy wins, the better-looking guy wins, interns can be for the president's personal as well as political use, etc. This just takes that and says, "Fine, you're wooing us and trying to look good on TV for us? Then we'll respond to that." It's no coincidence that the first video asks you to check out their site, barelypolitical.com.
Also, the Obama/Giuliani song is damn catchy.
More miscellaneous links:
A summary (with scans) of a comic wherein Batman and Superman spend the night at the Fortress of Solitude comforting each other. Includes alien worms penetrating each other. No, this is not a fan comic. What did these guys they think they were writing?
Titles We Have Known lists the ten most common titles on submissions this publication has gotten in the past year. Things like "Waiting" and "Remember" I can see, but "Butterfly"? "Smoke"?
I wonder how long until someone submits a story with all ten in the title as a joke? I'm thinking, "While Waiting for That Reunion at Work, Remember the Revelation of the Smoke Butterfly of Grace You Had as a Voyeur With Insomnia."
