Hilarious Fianna Fail yokels have apparently never seen a television camera in their lives
March 4, 2009You know the way children crowd around TV news reporters when they’re out and about? This is like that, except with middle-aged men. It’s really quite odd; it’s like a wedding photo. Maybe the reporter hasn’t seen them. Wouldn’t it be great if he turned around and went “AAARGH!”" and dropped the microphone?
I also love the marvellous pause at the start of the interview. That makes it.
Bonus: follow up video.
(Thanks @AllanCavanagh)
UPDATE: My friend writes….”Saw that clip of FF yokels at the Ard Feis on your blog. I hadn’t seen it before but it made sense of a newspaper snippet the next day that I couldn’t quite fathom.
The cryptic press piece said that the reporter, David Davin Power, was furious about an incident involving slack jawed yokels.
The crowd surrounding him aren’t just a bunch of gombeen zombies. In the glorious tradition of past Ard Fheiseana, they were a crowd of helpful party members squashing up under orders to listen closely to his broadcast and show how much they enjoyed it.
He apparently told colleagues that it worked a dream and he found himself choosing his words carefully so as to maximize their enjoyment of the broadcast.
Look at them there, silently urging the journalist to do an enjoyable report. Good for them!”

Hacking an old VCR
March 2, 2009A hack so simple, even I could do it!
(thanks, @ratbanjos!)
Update: Have to say, this’d be a lot more effective if they didn’t have ‘gag films’ plastered all over the place)

I really can’t think of a headline to do this one justice

That’s some picture, right? That dog’s been made to look quite the fool, wouldn’t you say? I know what you’re thinking–you’re thinking “Well, yeah, ok, but that’s about as funny as this subject matter can get. Turning a dog into a crazy space snail is really as far as you can go with this sort of thing. Yawn! Next!”
Well, believe me, you haven’t even begun to taste the crazy. Click here. I will meet you on the other side of having your mind completely blown.
(Thanks, Sean!)

Tears in my eyes! Tears! That man doesn’t masturbate! Ever! And he looks so relaxed! I also notice that they appear to be outside the house. WHO WOULD WEAR THAT T-SHIRT OUTSIDE THE HOUSE!? Oh, man, I gotta get me one of those. God bless you, whoever came up with this this. Jesus loves you, but not as much as I do.
