  2. Remembering Jim Henson

    Er...no. More like being Marilyn Manson. Emo folk would be terrified of real sadism...

    Agree with what others said about this forum being a little more friendly. I havce branched out somewhat in my whole quest to avoid socializing by browsing sites I like, and even joining some, but rarely joining IN them...but there's a lot less snarkiness and petty judging and ridiculous ego issues around here.

    Mus' be tha Muppet influence!

    What has Marilyn Manson done that would classify him as a sadist? I'm asking that seriously.

    I'm not a huge fan; perhaps someone else can answer more specifically. I'm merely thinking of his videos, which tend to feature horrific torture inflicted on people for apparent sexual stimulation. Go look at "No Reflection" for a good example. Eeek!

  5. newsmanfan Well-Known Member

    Er...
    huh?
    Is this a cable reality show thing?
    ---------------
  6. fuzzygobo Well-Known Member

    Yes, just what we need- another reality show chronicling the exploits of a 6-year-old from "Toddlers and Tiaras" and her happy clan of country bumpkins. I guess TLC did not want to be outdone from the "runaway success" of "Redneck Vacation."
    Welcome to the Age of Enlightenment, folks!

    Ack.
    Y'know, I get regular updates from my ex, who now lives with a redneck roomie...their family stories are plenty enough entertaining in an eye-rolling fashion without subjecting my eyeballs to cathode rays and commercials!

    I fail to see why ANY of this is still being documented/shown. "Beam me up Scotty; no intelligent life on this planet..."

    Exploitation.
  10. newsmanfan Well-Known Member

    Of the subjects? or the viewers??

  11. charlietheowl Well-Known Member

    Exploitation of the subjects for the viewers. I'd say the networks are exploiting the viewers, but if no one wants to watch anything better and willfully watches those shows, then I guess the networks don't have an obligation to put on anything else.

    Where DOES that nuclear explosion clip (with the diabolic laugh) that people seem to always use on YouTube Poops come from anyway?! :confused:
  14. Mo Frackle Well-Known Member

    A friend of mine told me it was from some video game, but I can't remember the name.
    One Google search later:
    The sound effect is a compilation of three sounds. The first is the sound of a C4 explosive counting down from the game Counter-Strike The second is a clip from episode 3 of the Steve Moustache Show in which a Ted DiBiase action figure is given a makeover to look like a disfigured freak. The original soundclip can be heard on this YTMND. Everything after the explosion was taken from Mega64’s “Interview” with Gunther Galipot, a design and content consultant from the game Cold Fear. In Mega64’s video, Gunther goes berserk and sets off a nuclear bomb.

    Does anyone know who dubbed Pee-wee's voice for, "Paging Mr. Herman. Mr. Herman, you have a telephone call at the front desk.", or was that his own voice mechanically altered?
  16. miss kermie Well-Known Member

    I do believe it was electronic, however, I could be wrong.

    They're supposed to be these rubber patches that you can slip into your underwear, so that you're private areas will be completely blocked by those TSA body scanners.
