I’ve resisted delving into Thrift Horror video this week, but I couldn’t resist sharing this clip from “Size Small,” a 1982 educational program.
“When that old music is movin’ on down…I like to move with it all over town…”
If you haven’t had enough pain, you can watch some horrendous puppetry and a very uncoordinated dancing “record” (wait until he gets fancy, just after the 30 second point).
I found the links to these gems on PuppetVision.
It took a while for a news story to pop up that rivals my escaped giant feces story in its absurdity. But the weekend brought us…
It makes me smile to think of ships carrying such ludicrous cargo. I like to believe the entire ship was populated with these giants. Go ahead and indulge in some imaginative hypothetical accounts of this whole story went down.
Monday starts THRIFT HORROR week here at SheWalksSoftly, where I share some of the worst toys, artifacts and items to be found on thrift store shelves nationwide. Should you have any horrific thrift photos, please submit them!
Lazy-Eyed Dog will be very disappointed if you don’t come back to see the treats.
Here is my 2008 roundup of favorite Halloween culinary atrocities from Cake Wrecks. Enjoy the wrong!
Let’s start with some fiercely baffled spiders, shall we?
This poor bastard is…arachnologically wrong, having only six legs (though that may be the least of his worries):
And onto some pumpkins…
The above is actually the Krispy Kreme seasonal donut (for the record, they couldn’t make a Krispy Kreme so ugly that I’d refuse to eat it):
At first I thought the “face” was mold or burnt patches:
More misery…
I’m not sure what’s going on in this cake. There appears to be a small army of cake dolls who’ve been decapitated and had their heads replaced by giant eyeballs…yet they cling tenaciously to their old plastic heads for good measure:
And now some ghosts…
Um, is this even work safe?
You have to see this collection to believe it. Really.
I actually like this one. He’s very happy, dare I say triumphant:
Go see the rest of them and be sure to read the commentary!
If you just haven’t found the perfect lighting structure to compliment your home, why not try a Seven Rats Table Light for a mere $4,680?
This unique lighted art piece depicts seven plastic rats locked inside a steel, gold, brass and plastic cage structure to create a truly unforgettable viewing experience. German born artist and light objects designer, Ingo Maurer has been the recipient of many design awards and his work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, including the Museum of Modern Art in new york. –Source
I mean no offense, but I’m fairly confident I could produce a decent knockoff after a trip to the dollar store. So, you know, contact me if interested.
Originally found here.
Due to my compulsive habit of collecting online images, I’ve literally amassed thousands of intriguing unlabeled pictures.
I have no recollection of where this comes from…I can only assure you it actually exists (and might even grace the neckline of some individual). The size of this piece alone renders it an effort to wear.
Observe the gleeful satisfaction on the pig.
To the best of my knowledge, this is not an art project laden with social commentary on Capitalist decadence. Nevertheless, I’ve seen satirical art pieces far less poignant than this creation.
There’s been much speculation about the approach of 2012 by everyone from scientists to UFO enthusiasts. I’m going to ignore it and skip straight to a true mark of absurdity: Nickelodeon’s 2012 movie…for kids.
Take a moment. Let it in.
The action-adventure storyline revolves around a family who goes on vacation in December 2012, just as the Mayan calendar is coming to a close.
Ah, we can even capitalize on the alignment of the cosmos! Can we look forward to 2012 Doomsday Playsets? One can hope.
(Thanks to Matt P. for sending me an article that referenced this film)
