Planet of the Gawfs

12/05/11

Egofreaky

In the far flung future, it looks like we get our own planet, but the lack of vitamin D has led to drastic mutations!

Behold, our future!

Still, not as bad as what happens to Emos…

It's like the Scensters and the X-Men were breeding together!

 

There comes a time when we always wonder what would happen if vampires seriously attempted to rise up.
Would it be like in True Blood and they’d merely coexist, snorting w2ith derision every time they passed a goth?

Or perhaps something out of Twilight, with major accidents happening on freeways every time they drove in peak hour as people were blinded by the sparkling coming from dozens of cars?

Who would win in a fight between Angel and Count Chocula, knowing that C.C. has a legion of mind numbed and brainwashed children to carry out his bidding? And would Sesame Street’s own Count enter the fray, or would The Count be too busy sodomizing small children?

Finally, this video answers all your questions… Well, no, not really.

Although it does make you ask why none of the humans thought about silver…

 

Don Bosco: Priest & friend to children of Christian Marriages

Don Bosco: Priest & friend to children of Christian Marriages

So we all know I shill a lot of products on here. Frankly, I like to buy shit, and I assume all your other good consumer whores do as well. We’re trained to buy things. It keeps the economy going and makes us feel better because we own stuff… and starving people in African countries don’t. Let’s laugh at them.

 

So what do these elements have in common?

I was looking up resource material for an article on Eugenics (Not the Nazi kind. I’m more of a post-humanist eugenics believer) when I ran across a book titled:

BIRTH CONTROL IS SINFUL IN THE CHRISTIAN MARRIAGES and also ROBBING GOD OF PRIESTHOOD CHILDREN!! (Paperback)

I swear I’m not making this shit up!

So here’s an African American woman, who has obviously self published because no respectable publishing house would allow two exclamation marks next to each other in a title, who’s very against birth control (the most common form of Eugenics, honestly) and she’s trying to sell you shit.

I’ll be brave and admit that not only did I not buy this book, I didn’t even bother attempting to find a pirated copy that I could peruse. I think the title basically tells you everything that’s going to be in it, and this is probably a book that you can indeed judge by the cover.
Never mind the hilarity involved in the price tag alone, if you want a really good laugh, read over some of the comments. Or check out the tags that people have given this.

What’s particularly worrisome, other than the way she looks on the front cover given that this book was published in 2008, and the photo seems to be straight out of the 80s, is that this book manages to go to nearly 650 pages in length. I’m a fan of reading, I’ve gotten through Hamilton’s Night’s Dawn series… But I seriously question precisely how you can get nearly 650 pages worth of this, when the title alone pretty much sums up every argument you can possibly make in this regard.

I’m also thinking given the controversy of the priesthood vis-a-vis children over the last decade that the last thing any one really wants to do is give their children over to said group.

It's ok B-9, you're in a place where you there's no danger, and you don't have to flail your arms around no more *sniff*

It seems that B-Grade cult celebrities just can’t stop dying this year. I mean, we had the warlock from Fantasy Island, and Betty Page popped off only a week ago (I tried to write a post about it, but when it ended up being over a thousand words long and none of it seemed bad enough to cut, I figured it was too long for most people).
And now the traigc passing of Bob May, best known for playing Robot B9 in Lost in Space, died yesterday.

A lot of you have absolutely no idea who is, but you’d definitely remember him flailing his arms about as Dick Tufield (the voice actor) screamed “Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!” from somewhere off camera every time Johnathan Harris (Dr Smith) got close to Billy Mum (Will Robinson). 

Will, my dear boy, can you guess why my trousers are in absentia!?

"Will, my dear boy, can you guess why my trousers are in absentia!?"

Frankly, the only danger in that show really was of the Doc getting far too sexually frustrated and getting it on with the kids. Whilst I cast no aspersions on Harris, who was a fantastic ham actor and amazingly heterosexual, you could never be too sure about what the Doc was into… But I digress.

 

B-9 was quite possibly the arcehtype for a lot of the other robots out there. Elements of his design and personality are clearly evident in other more modern and equally (if not more) famous robots, such as Marvin the Paranoid Android. Let’s face it, 1960s robots were clearly classy, even if amazingly useless in their design. I mean, why pretend to have legs if you’re clearly getting around on wheels? Surely caterpillar treads would have been far more efficient, and would have provided a base that allowed for storage of many more useful items, and possibly an armament.

Of course, the real tragedy is that now the B-9′s that you could purchase and own for yourself at www.lostinspacerobot.com have become that much more tragic and endearing.

I think the real tragedy is that no one has attempted to kill that stupid robot that’s Nova FMs logo.
