YOUTUBE SURVIVOR SERIES #58: NO PARKING ON THE DANCE FLOOR

Good morning, heathen.

People often ask me, “Why did Al Gore invent the Internets?” To which I usually respond, “So you can watch Barbara Eden dance in old made-for-TV movies.”

Notice The Man From U.N.C.L.E. scowling intermittently.

If yr wondering, it’s from this TV movie – which is from the director who gave you the classics Night Of The Blood Beast and Attack Of The Giant Leeches.

No blood beasts or giant leeches in this movie though (apart from Robert Vaughn – badaBING!). Just the usual “rich unstable woman on holiday with cold-fish husband thinks jewel theieves are out to kill her” routine.

You should be dancing,

SNOWBLIND IN LONDON

ITEM [via BoingBoing]: Something thelastaerie  might find grimly amusing – a snowblind CCTV camera in London, yesterday.

Which is worth mentioning because London has the world’s largest collections of CCTV cameras. Which in itself is worth mentioning because (1) it doesn’t make London any safer and (2) Britain seems increasingly hellbent on treating 1984 as an instruction manual.

Seriously. BoingBoing has a nice collection of anecdotes that make the Bush Posse look as though they weren’t even trying. I used to want to visit London. I don’t know that I’d bother nowadays.

The camera eye-yi-yi,

ICELAND: OFFICIALLY RUN BY LESBIANS

It figures, doesn’t it?

One minute, yr feeling accomplished because yr country has finally evolved to the point where it can emotionally handle the idea of electing someone other than an Old White dude as president.

Then Iceland comes along and elects a lesbian as prime minister.

Okay, so it’s only on an interim basis. But still, imagine an openly gay/lesbian presidential candidate actually winning a US primary, let alone the actual election. You’d have a better chance running as a non-Christian. And as this election made clear, it’s practically illegal to run for office unless you’ve accepted Jesus Christ as yr running mate Saviour.

And then Iceland goes and just appoints a lesbian like it’s nothing. Indeed, no one even saw it as an issue.

I can’t help but be impressed by that.

Looking forward to Rush Limbaugh’s jokes about Hell freezing over (because gay people will burn in Hell, and it’s Iceland, see?).

Lesbians on ice,
