FULL DISCLOSURE

In the previous post I was comparing casey and his brother to the music of xiu xiu. Indeed the only reason I checked out casey and his brother was because I read an article about xiu xiu that referenced those characters, and how we laugh at their tragedy er something I don't even remember now... Anyway, I extrapolated some more out of the comparison blah blah no plagiarism here!

I'm slowly accumulating pictures of things that I suspect may be of some amusement for native english speakers that probably don't seem that odd to swedes. I call my collection "pictures of things that I suspect may be of some amusement for native english speakers that probably don't seem that odd to swedes". I'll share soon.

More youtube clips!!!
This is an I guess "anti-alcohol" (I didn't bother to check out the website it's pimping) commercial that plays on prime time TV and before movies here:
ok the embed isn't working so here is the link:

Yes, PRIME TIME TV. Perhaps you couldn't help but notice that among other things it portrays a young man recieving oral sex in a public restroom while he films it with his cell phone then later shows the footage to his friend who is understandably very amused and, I'll speculate here, quite impressed with the first young man's prowess.
Ahem.
Yes.
Um.
I don't think I'm getting the message I'm supposed to...
Suggestion to casting directors of future anti-alcohol ads:
Think over your casting choice for "oral sex girl #1" long and hard.
Long.
And hard.

HERE, YOU'RE WELCOME!

Well I've officially lived in Sweden for exactly one year and a few days now. Feels weird. Have to say I didn't mind the winter at all. Actually I liked it, it's nice to have snow pretty often. The only bad thing about summer is trying to sleep when it is so light. But having light all day when you don't have to get a good night of sleep is awesome enough so it balances out I guess.
I had some purpose for posting... what was it... oh yes.
Can anyone explain to me why in the hell I find this so hilarious???:

I choked on my own laughter the first time I watched it. I have no idea WHY it's funny though. Iced canes??? OMG CLASSIC! There's a second part where they call pool "felted holes". I choked again.
More deliciousness:

That is by far the most genius piece of comedy I have seen in a LONG time. The strangest part is how close (I assume unintentionally) it comes to being a xiu xiu (usually what I'll reply if you ask me my favorite band, that er Ghostface Killah)song. Like REALLY REALLY close. But the affect this hamburgers song cultivates is the exact opposite of the aesthetic xiu xiu cultivates (I think???). Is it simply a parody of xiu xiu? Not likely as the other "Casey and his brother" songs don't quite bear that out. Although the "School" song is frightening in a xiu xiu way, it's still more terrifying than any xiu xiu song I've ever heard, and yet is still funny. Could it be that Jamie Stewart's deadpan capacity actually runs THAT deep??? Genius is as genius does I gyiss. Anyway, here's hoping that Jamie's abuse humor never stops bummin' me out and that recently-burned-to-death-emotionally-shattered-visibly-battered-17-yr-old-neglectees never stop being so f-ing hilarious.
If for some strange reason you thought the above was horrible........y AWESOME like I do check the montage out, EVEN ROCKY HAD A MONTAGE!!!
Even if you didn't like the above, promise me you'll check out the songs "School" "Robbers and Cops" "Xmas Wish" in the following, they are alternately macabre, terrifying, disgusting, disturbing and HILARIOUS:

Brilliant!
