Last night Richard and I watched the Awfully Good TV special hosted by Little Britain’s David Walliams. It’s one of those clip shows of “so bad that it’s good” TV moments that normally aren’t that great, but this one actually was hilarious. I nearly peed myself when this clip came on. A kid named Matthew wrote in to the Jim’ll Fix It TV show and asked the host (Jimmy Saville) if he could “fix it” so that Matthew could drive around in Gary Numan’s “Down in the Park” car. And Jim came through! Watch as young Matthew, in crap shades, takes a little ride as Numan croons “Music for Chameleons.”

Matthew actually chimed in on the YouTube comments, writing:

All I can say is…HAHAHAHAHA…can’t stop laughing because that miserable kid is me! Blame the BBC for making me put those stupid glasses on just before filming…I hated them but they thought they looked futuristic. *ahem*

Apart from that had an ace day.

They wanted me to look spooky…but my grumpy face was just me being mardy and also scared. The jacket is too small for me these days, not that I’d ever wear it out for fear of damaging it.

.
The clip of Boy George on The A-Team was also from that program to give credit there, too.

Read the letter from Matthew and watch the hysterical video from Jim’ll Fix it below:

Could this be the worst celebrity guest star appearance in television history? Methinks so. Watch the cringe-worthy trailer below. Also, take note on how Boy George delivers his line “Totally awesome, Hannibal.” It’s sheer brilliance.

You can watch the entire episode titled “Cowboy George” over at Hulu. Thank God!
 

 
Yep! It’s a Stephen Colbert couch to liven up your living room by Etsy seller Matt Charlan. The couch is priced at $2,008.87 (for now). It might work nicely with the demon rug.

People will gravitate to the percise place in the room looking for where the face is most accurate. While you round them up make sure your finger is ready on the dead switch to the trap door to you basement where you keep all Colbert Couch huff puff nay sayers.

The price of the couch is automatically calculated using a sophisticated algorithm like Goldman used to inflate its assets (Way to drop $300 M on facebook, Goldman). The price is directly proportional to the number of people who look at this listing.

The best kinds of mashups are the ones that make you go “what the fuck?!” This is one of those kinds of mashups.

Here’s a delightful demon rug by Chicago-based artist Melita Curphy. I think it would add a slight accent to any room. 

Melita also has a website over at Miss Monster Art.

Stop me if you’ve received one of these before…

Ballofwool says, “So my mate got fired from work a while ago and i convinced him to allow me to post this.”

Well, I’m sure glad his buddy allowed him to post this priceless termination letter. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Ballofwool!

Dacia Duster (not actual size).

Dutch production company Artcore created this hugely politically incorrect commercial for the Romanian automobile manufacturer Dacia to promote the Duster SUV which Dacia describes as being “simple, robust and functional.”

I can’t imaging this ad running on television in any country in the world. Perhaps that was the intention. If it goes viral on the internet, it could potentially be seen by far more people than had it aired on TV. Welcome to new era of advertising: creating campaigns with the purpose of being banned.
