Très Bizarre: Rammstein Box Set, Now With Bonus Dildos!

TresSugar — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 01:00:00 -0700

Did I mention that the dildos are purportedly molded from each band member's well . . . member?

I love the over-the-top German industrial metal band Rammstein the way I love over-the-top band Abba - with a serious dose of irony. You can never tell if their shtick is for real or tongue-in-cheek, but either way, I like to dork out to them on my way to work.

Well, it turns out that their new box set Liebe Ist Für Alle Da comes with a metal case filled with handcuffs, lube and six pink dildos that are supposed to "reflect the sizes of the six members’ wienerwursts" as Daily Swarm put it. Ha! I guess this is one way of getting close to the musicians you love! Is this better than a personally autographed photo?

Très Bizarre: The Shake Weight Self-Pumping Free Weight

TresSugar — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 13:00:00 -0700

One way to distinguish your exercise machine that does the work so you don't have to from others on the market is to make your ad sexually suggestive. Like, really sexually suggestive.

How these men can hold their "Shake Weight" self-pumping weights without laughing is a testament to their acting talent. (Especially when they are in a circle, pumping away in tandem at 1:21.) The Hawaii Chair has nothing on the Shake Weight. If you can't get enough of watching people holding self-pumping weights while keeping straight faces and want to see women in the ads, read more.

Flashback: Fiddlin' Around With the Tobuchis

David Lynch, are you responsible for this? At first I wanted to say that this variety show that centers around the Tobuchi family and their singin' and dancin' ways is funny because of the way it was edited and spliced, but on second viewing, I think it might just be straight up weird. If anyone can explain what it is I just watched, it would be much appreciated.

City Workers Ordered to Wear Underwear in Florida Town

"They said you had to wear undergarments but who's going to be the judge of that? Sometimes when it comes to certain people going braless, it's obvious. But who's staring to see if that person doesn't have underwear on?"

- Mayor Joe Bernardini of Brooksville, FL, about a new dress code voted in by the city council. Behold the following list, which makes one wonder what government workers were wearing (or not wearing) before the dress code: Underwear is now required; employees must use deodorant; no halter tops or Spandex at work; no skirts worn "below the waistline;" no "distracting, offensive, or revealing" clothing; only ears may be visibly pierced; and last but not least, all cuts or wounds must now be covered. Now I know why the weird news site Fark has a special category for Florida.

Cute or Creepy? The Pygmy Jerboa

TresSugar — Thu, 28 May 2009 11:30:00 -0700

The Pygmy Jerboa (no, that is not a Pixar creation) is a small jumping desert rodent found in Asia and northern Africa. It looks like a cross between a chick and a mouse, has a long tufted tail and, as you can see, long hind legs. My favorite detail about this weird little critter? Its fur is "long, soft and silky."

Blago Haircare Products: Funny or Lame?

TresSugar — Mon, 18 May 2009 15:00:00 -0700

Disgraced former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich seems to have spent more time obsessing about his hair than his ethical behavior or political reputation. So the makers of Blago Hair have attempted to cash in on his hair obsession with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner. Given how brief his notoriety, and how unappealing a character he was, I think a quickie t-shirt would have made more sense. What do you think - are Blago haircare products funny or lame?

Très Bizarre: the Gospel Mime Duo of K&K Mimes

TresSugar — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 02:00:00 -0700

What's worse than one mime? Two mimes! What's worse than two mimes? Two mimes who aren't really miming but rather wildly gesticulating or simulating an epileptic seizure. What's worse than two mimes who aren't really miming but rather wildly gesticulating or simulating an epileptic seizure? Two mimes who aren't really miming but rather wildly gesticulating or simulating an epileptic seizure and who also have a website that's even worse than this performance. (Keep your eye on 5:20 and 5:39 - you'll be transformed forever.)

Happy Caturday!

This strange cat seems to have gone into another dimension, where he's seeing things that cannot be unseen. And then - shazam! - it's like nothing happened at all and he trots off to annoy the dog or beg for Pounce. What a furry freak!

Woman Amazed by Sprinkler Rainbow

GiggleSugar — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 07:00:00 -0700

I know they say you should keep a child-like wonder about the world around you, but the lady doing the voice-over in this home video is taking it a bit too far. "What is oozing out of our ground?" she asks about the rainbow that's forming over her sprinkler. To which I reply with a (couple) questions: "What drugs are you on? And may I have some?"

Chain Surfing USA!

If you're not anywhere near waves and you have an itchin' to Hang 10, the next logical step is to loiter near a busy street and surf a heavy chain. Extra points for creativity!
