Dzienkuje!

In what can only be described as politics once again taking charge and tackling only the tough issues, president Bush will be meeting with Nursultan Nazarbayev, the president of Kazakhstan, regarding his country's image and their agenda. A new ad blitz will take the U.S. by storm and no doubt send us all on whirlwind tours through Kazakhstan to partake of their... oil....

For those of you who don't know, the Kazakhstan government has tried their damndest to see Borat destroyed by shutting down his website and threatening him with what I'm sure are well researched legal threats such as "We reserve the right to any legal action to prevent new pranks of the kind."

His response, as usual, was pure gold:

"In response to Mr. Ashykbayev's comments, I'd like to state I have no connection with Mr. Cohen and fully support my Government's decision to sue this Jew. Since the 2003 Tuleyakiv reforms, Kazakhstan is as civilized as any other country in the world. Women can now travel on inside of bus, homosexuals no longer have to wear blue hats, and age of consent has been raised to eight years old."

Later on his website, www.borat.kz , was suspended. An act that probably made their government look like jackasses. [LINK]

Because I can.

A great quote I heard...

"There's something about anonymity on the internet that empowers people, turning introverts into extroverts, and extroverts into total dills. Sort of like social steroids."

Crikey!

You will be missed, you funny little australian you. This story has the power to make you laugh and then feel kinda bad about laughing. I think we can all agree, we all saw this coming a mile away. Give it a few weeks and it will be funny, I suppose.[LINK]

9.) Ocean Sunfish

This is the second part of a 10 day 10 part series of blogposts, the most fucked up animals in the world. For a full list of all the entries (once they're completed) click HERE.

Generally when one thinks of as sunfish one thinks of say, a gentle Koi pond. A lone Samurai walks up and down the length of his path, lost in musings of past battles. Perhaps of loves long lost, long forgoten; of his own sacrifices and those of his ancestors. One would seldomly think of a massive 3-ton 9 foot sea cow.



The skin of the Ocean Sunfish is considered a delicacy by some, and like all people stupid enough to eat a delicacy, they're eating poison.

Nobleman: "Mmm, dear I do say, these neurotoxins are quite delicious."

Noblewoman: "Verily"

Speaking of food the Ocean Sunfish eats Jellyfish, Comb Jellies, Zooplankton, Squid and Crustaceans - because they don't have a Fudruckers under water. They are solitary animals that generally like to be left alone so they can listen to their Morrissey mixtape that their ex-boyfriends made them. They must remain alone because you don't understand them; nobody does.

They also has anal fins. It's sad that an animal with fins on their anus doesn't rank higher than #9, but that's how it goes. But buck up old buddy, you danced yourself into #9.

OMFGLOL11!!Shift+1!

So I think I actually have about three people reading this thing. Awesome!

Billy Talent

If you haven't allready heard of them, I would suggest getting ahold of some "Billy Talent". I have been absoloutley infatuated with their two CDs for about three weeks now, and it doesn't get old. The vocalist sounds like he was ripped straight up from an 80s hair metal band, but the music is way different.

At first I was a little leary because I thought "What kind of a douchebag goes by the name 'Billy Talent'?". I guess it's kind of a "Mr. Bungle/Monty Python" thing however, for there is no actual Billy Talent.

Since I can't for the life of me figure out how to embed Youtube into a blog (it's so fuckin' simple on myspace) Click HERE for a sample. The picture to the right is not of them, it's just awesome.

10.) Death's Head Hawkmoth

This is the first part of a 10 day 10 part series of blogposts, the most fucked up animals in the world. For a full list of all the entries (once they're completed) click HERE.

Coming in at #10 is the Death's Head Hawkmoth. This little guy is famous for being totally hardcore, and he was into Poison way before it was cool to be into Poison. He will also emit a loud squeak if you try to fuck with him. I have to admit, squeaks aren't all that hardcore, but apparently it's loud so I'll give it some credit there. They make the sound by rubbing their palpi together with their probiscus which is something that you can't do.

Oh, and did I forget? They have a HUGE FUCKING SKULL ON THEIR BACK!

When not found raiding the moshpits, you can usually find them raiding beehives Whinnie the Pooh style - but the bee's won't fuck with them because they make farts that make them smell like bees. Totally awesome.

The Death's Head Moths are actually three different species of Moth: Atropos, Lachesis and, I shit you not, Styx.

This little guy barely pulled in at 10th place because there isn't a whole lot more to him. He's got a scary skull, blah blah blah, steeped in mythology, blah blah, blah.
