The End of Year Scissor Sisters News Special

It's special because it's the last one, also because it's French. and by French I mean grainy.

A new album in 2011? Tease me not, I shan't be able to go on. Now my hopes are up. Damn you metamucil!

Full-On Rorschachian Awesomeness

Here's an awesome journal experiment from L Filipe dos Santos, where there's a spread with a random paint pattern that he turns into rather gorgeous creations. Check out the full collection here.

2010's Most Controversial Magazine Covers

So do you remember back in 1999 when magazines were used for more than spare toilet paper? I do, although I was ahead of the curve apparently when I used it for said reasons. I'm a trendsetter like that. Anyway, Flavorwire has counted down the 10 most controversial magazine covers for your reading enjoyment. Check out the full list here.

What In The Dog Poop Hell? Kackel Dackel

Oh, how I long for the simpler days, when games didn't consist of rainbow colored dog feces. Is it too much to ask for?

Fair Fair Fair, White White White

Yet another amazing Advice for Young Girls segment. Fruit is bad for you. I once ate a banana that tried to rape me on the way down.

How Literally Potter

I had to do some very odd posting techniques to post this due to some very odd non-embedding techniques employed by the creator of said content on the tube of yous.

MORTAL KOMBAT!

Typewriter Art = Type-y

Keira Rathbone is a British artist who uses her handy dandy ancient technology known as a typedestroyer typewriter to create rather gorgeous pieces of art. Such as the one seen above. I, however, am rather confident that I can do the same thing here in the context of aaronthebond. Let's see.

^ See, it's a duck. Take that Rathbone.

Chris Evans + Evan Rachel Wood

Make me want to (chest) buy something..I'm not sure what it (chest) is they're peddling...

Chest. Chest.

The Real Unicow!

Apparently, a Chinese cow has become quite the ladies cow, er, tourist attraction after it has been shown to have a unicorn like horn growing out of the center of its head. Snazzy, you sexy cow you.

All the cool kids knew, however, that Unicow existed a long time ago. Proof:

My Parents' House, In The Medium of Gingerbread

Oh the good ol' days. I miss hanging out by the penis mural. It always cheered me up. Check out the possible others? (or who knows it takes you through a magical portal) on flickr by searching for Jane Hansen.

Too Much Tweaking: "Invisible Light" Video

1. Where is Del Marquis so I can stare at him?
2. Where is Ian McKellen's filmed footage?
3. Why did they cut out half his little talky part? I wanted to hear "Laser gaze/gays" *pew pew, oh girl!*

Anyhoo, it's a rather interesting clip none the less, inspired, it seems by 60s Surrealist films. Neato burrito. With a crying clown.

Well No Wonder Everyone Has One

Perhaps Zuckerberg is a genius. Or perhaps someone needed to get some to this point. Hmm, I will ponder.

WINTER 10 MIX: Again! A Lesson In Obscurity PART TWO!

Due to actual demand (believe it or not people *did* get in contact with me about this) there's now a sequel to the "Lesson in Obscurity" mix from a few months ago. Here's a good sampling of what everyone who has the brain cells to be reading this should be listening to. DL it, enjoy. Repeat.

Grab it over here.

Blog World: Fake Criterions

Because crap movies need interesting artsy covers too, there's Fake Criterions. Which gives crap movies...interesting artsy covers. So yeah...that....worked out well.

Check out all the splendor and glory here.

Giggle. Sarah Palin Doesn't Read. NOOOO!?

Oh Conan, your hair pleases me.

Blog World: Kim Jong-Il Looking At Things

It's exactly what it sounds like. And yes, it's as awesome too.

Check out the Asian general confusion

New Sia Video: "I'm In Here"

Watch. be soothed/depressed. There's an airplane! This is also like...the one slow song on the album.

Could This Lead to Less Road Rage or DEATH FROM STUFF!?

This is yet another way to improve those god awful circles of doom that the government calls 'traffic lights'. It's part of Obama's conspiracy probably (it's because he's black I hear). Sarah Palin told me. Then she spit out a special baby. Ohhhh too much. Or just enough?

Regardless, This is a lovely/deadly confusing stop light that shows how much longer you'll have to wait/go. Ponder it. Cisco deserves thanks again, as well as a new shiny button.

I Missed These...

Due to the following:

1. Target Hates us gays now.
2. I haven't had time to breathe, much less watch commercials
3. I ate tacos at some point in the last month

One of these isn't relevant.

Thanks to Cisco for the round about recommendation that brought me eventually to this. :P

I Keep Forgetting to Post, So This is Applicable

It's Fefe Dobson, with amnesia. How 'citing. Also, they edited the most ridiculously random part of this song. 10 awesome people points to those who know the bit. Paid in awesome people dollars, which I just got finished with. I sniffed the sharpie a lot.

Star Wars Invades Other...Things

Graphic designer Matthew Ranzetta has created a series of rather bad ass posters for random movies using applicable Star Wars imagery. I hate him. They look lovely. Enjoy. Here.

More Potter-ness, Because We're All Obsessive.

Movie Trailers - Movies Blog

Here we are with a lovely video proving everyone is sexier with a British accent. It is now quantifiable fact. Just like lemonade is the square root of donkey.

'Oh Brother, These Two Don't Know What's Going On'

Yes, it's more Chloe. And there are two others I'm tempted to post.

Don't judge, because Marmaduke is in theaters. Go forth and...marma....duke. That's a verb right?

God Does Hate 'Em

I'm bringing one of these to one of my next dead soldier protests. The world needs to know.

Thanks to Cisco for the tip off.

Harry Potter and the Inappropriate Trailer

I would have seen each around 8 times probably. But I'm into little hairy elves like that.

Mamika: Bad Ass Grandmother

French photographer Sacha Goldberger has taken photos of his 91 year old grandmother dressed up as the latest super hero to hit the streets in a series of pretty amazing photographs. Check out the entire gallery here and learn just how big of a slut Superman really is. (the answer...he is a big slut).

Susan Sarandon Vamping It Up

Susan Sarandon, Jane Fonda and others have posed for V Magazine's "Who Cares About Age" issue. Tim Curry would be proud of her hair I think. I has some Transylvanian pomp to it.

I Giggled Like A 3 Year Old

It's actually insufferably boring for the first half, but wait. There are zombie kittens attacking Paris as we speak. (this ties in somehow I believe)

I Need A Bag Of This Tragic Immediately

My oh my. You should look up his endorsing promo shot. He felt the need to keep his hoodie wide open for us. I don't the the chips give you abs like those. Now *those* I would buy.

Note the "Stay in school" message on the bag. I don't think people who listen to rap read do they? *Can* they?

Well This Makes Jurassic Park Even Worse

Not only was it fully of schlocky Spielberg directing. It was historically inaccurate. In yet more news that ruins all our childhood notions of dinosaurs (since Triceratops apparently didn't technically exist), they are now rather convinced that the T Rex looked like big bird.

Except bigger.

Feel free to want to cry. It's normal. It's also normal to remember I could technically say they were actually zig zag patterned with little plastic crowns on top and possibly be correct.

The *Official* Get Some Video

A while back, I posted about Lykke Li's new single Get Some and it had a little video go to along with it.

It wasn't enough for her! NO, She wanted more.


So....here it is

My Dragonette Obsession Continues

I'm starting to believe I could listen to Martina just go "I Have herpes I have AIDS I have legs that go for days!" over and over again and be happy.

Speaking of which...I think I just wrote the best ditty for infected prostitutes ever.

Best Cake Ever

I'm gonna figure out how to make that pile of awesome bloody goodness. Then I'm gonna eat it.

The Only Reason To Watch CBS

Is, unbelievably, a remake of Hawaii 5-0. God bless Alex O'Loughlin. and baby platypi. They need all the help they can get.

Felicia Day Makes My Face Happy

I know this is older than approximately half the United States citizenry, but I didn't know about it ok? I was busy you know...doing stuff. My neighbors called the cops.

Just Gorgeous: Black Swan Poster

This is the kind of stuff that simultaneously makes me want to stop my chosen career path because I'm not that awesome while making me want to bust my ass even harder.

Decisions decisions. Like right now I could go to bed or I could lather myself in peanut butter.

Takei Will Mess Your Shit Up

Delightful. Enough said.

Except for that god awful song at the end. If you're promoting anti suicide, please please make a song that doesn't make *me* want to kill myself. No I'm just kidding. I only wanted to stab my ears shut.

Musicals: The Minimalist Posters of Minimalist Awesomenessly Minimalism

Deviantart user bleat31337 (an insanely awesome guy that I know and adore) created a series of minimalist posters for several of the biggest and most badass musicals around (yes musicals can be bad ass, much like gerbils if you give them guns).

Check out the whole gallery here.

Don't Mess With My Fambily!

Yes, it was Election Day. But since the world is practically ending and people who called themselves Tea Baggers at one point are winning left and right I'm going to focus on something we can all care about: SNL veterans being awesome.

Be awe struck. Be bedazzled amazed and otherwise stupefied.

At The Screening Of The Fil'lm

I found this amusing. It's also 3 in the morning and I've been working nonstop on school projects.

DON'T JUDGE ME!

Potter in a Bra

I don't think you're hideous Daniel. Just very very short and elflike. I made you some pointy toe slippers. If you don't wear them I'll be hurt forever.

New Battlestar Galactica Spinoff

SyFy has ordered a two hour pilot of another Battlestar prequel that's not as...prequelly. Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome will focus on a young Adama (who hopefully will be remotely as hot as Jamie Bamber) in the tenth year of the first Cylon War. SyFy's official announcement said the following:

Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome takes place in the 10th year of the first Cylon war. As the battle between humans and their creation, a sentient robotic race, rages across the 12 colonial worlds, a brash rookie viper pilot enters the fray. Ensign William Adama, barely in his 20’s and a recent Academy graduate, finds himself assigned to the newest battlestar in the Colonial fleet… the Galactica. The talented but hot-headed risk-taker soon finds himself leading a dangerous top secret mission that, if successful, will turn the tide of the decade long war in favor of the desperate fleet. “The ‘Galactica’ universe as re-imagined by Ron Moore and David Eick is rich with possibilities and backstory,” said SyFy’s Mark Stern. “We jumped at the chance to revisit the William Adama character and explore this exciting chapter in the BSG narrative which falls between the events of the original series and the prequel, ‘Caprica,’ currently airing on Syfy.” “While maintaining the themes of politics, social propaganda, and the timeless question: what does it mean to be human? – ‘Blood & Chrome’ will also return us to the authentic, relentless depiction of combat and the agony and ecstasy of human-Cylon war, which was the hallmark of ‘Battlestar Galactica’s’ early seasons,” said Eick. Michael Taylor wrote the teleplay from a story by Eick, Taylor and Bradley Thompson & David Weddle.

Let the dorkiness commence.

Elvira's Scissor Sister Halloween Special

I want some of the plastic she's using. for real. Cher could take some lessons. Four to be exact. Four lessons. And a tube of chapstick.

Our favorite weather lady Amanda Lepore is back! Go watch it. See the fake breasts. Learn how to fight fire with water!

New Lykke Li!

Ms Lykke Li has posted a new single up for free on her official website. Here's a little visualizer-quality video to go with the track. You must go to the site and grab it! Otherwise Satan will play in your entrails. He told me.

Grab it here.

Someone Build *Me* An Ewok Village

This is a super neat treehouse. There it is, being a treehouse. Also being super neat.  It was apparently a New Zealand restaurant that is now used for private events and stuff (like a sweet "the Rebels won" party).

I'm Only Helping!

My new favorite commercial of you know...right now.

God I'm behind this month.

The Banksy Simpsons Intro

I shared some of the amazing art of Banksy a few months back here on the blog. I had heard that he did the couch gag for the latest episode of The Simpsons. I wasn't quite prepared for how kind of insanely depressing it was. It took some major cajones to give this to them to put on the air. Salute!

Could. Not. Look. Away.

This has made my evening. And wow there really are a lot of wankers on ChatRoulette.

It Needed More Hairspray

Add some Loreal to that shit.

There. Now it's Americanized.

Enjoy the new US version of La Roux's "In For The Kill" video. Contemplate amongst yourselves why it needed to be redone.

I Laughed, Therefore I'm Going To Hell

That's it, think about it and why you're going to be joining me. We'll eat at Taco Bell once we get there.

Some More LOST Promos I Did

I haven't quite finished with Season 4 yet, but this is what I have done thus far for it. Some of it's pretty bad ass if I do say so. Of course, I do say so. Because I said.....so

I Have Sucked At This

So I'm sincerely sorry for not providing you with side-splitting and/or eye-roll-inducing humor and news for the past few days. School + home maintenance + laziness does not a good combination make.

Forgive me! or else I'll be forced to try and muster up some tears to show that I really do care.

I Saw His Balls!

Scissor Sisters News has returned to at least a (moderately) entertaining format after last time's awful installment full of Katy Perry and Adam Lambert (gross). Dave Grohl explains his lawsuit for having to witness Mr. Shears' testicular glory.

Apparently This Is Chicken Nuggets

before it's turned into "chicken" again. So essentially, chicken nuggets are pepto bismol paste made from little chirpy birds.

Duly noted.

I Would Have Shit A Brick...

ADT has been running an awesome sauce ad campaign down in Chile (why don't we get cool things here?) that involves them slipping a box that when not held flat resumes its full cubic shape.

When the apartment dweller returns home they're greeted by a creepy little box that says "Breaking into your apartment is easier than you think".

Brilliant.

::gives who ever did this a jealous look and a vague notion of concern for their souls::

Chris Evans Isn't Playing Captain America

his biceps are.

::squeeze squeeze::

Oh my.

James Franco Drags It Out

He thinks you should stay for the night....and maybe a bite.

God please tell me the people who read this follows that for all it's comic gold.

Please. Someone.

I need a hug.

Zombie Index of Survival

Just in case you were settling into Zombieland and wanted to know *precisely* what kind of undead Woody and co would be dealing with, it's been put into handy dandy chart form for you. (see the...handy dandy chart....above).

Btw, Zombie Strippers is probably my favorite movie on this list.

The Apocalypse Is Nigh

Just in case God didn't hate us enough for inventing the Snuggie, now there's some electric version of the crap. I can only hope that everyone who buys one of these wears them through puddles.

Zap.

G.A.Y.S. Don't Believe in Gays

G.A.Y.S. (Guys Against You Serving) from Thomas Lennon

I have a crush on John Cho, just fyi. I'd gay up his military.

I used a euphemism there. and here too.

Oh, one over there, in the bushes.

Not New, But Awesome Dragonette "Fixin To Thrill"

I know I know, sometimes you're thinking "but Aaron you're so cutting edge, how can you not be on the...cutting edge of...everything?" To which I answer cutting edges are sharp. That's why they cut things, with their edges.

Having said all those eloquent things, Martina Sorbara's awesome dancey project Dragonette have been being awesome since last year and I just recently got into them. You should too

Also, sorry for the insane lack of blogging, I'm sure at least two of you were crying due to my absence. It's ok teddy bear, no one will ever leave you alone again I promise. And if your name were Baby, I'd never let anyone put you in a corner, unless you were being punished for you know like spilling milk or something, then I'd really be obligated, because cow teats are important parts of life.

O RLY? Superheroes as Hipsters

I hate hipsters.  There I said it. I'm a racist. It's not my fault though, it's that hipsters drug cartels killed my mother with purple kool aid that was brought across the border by pack mules. If you don't believe me, look it up.

Regardless check out the rest over at College Humor, here roughly.

Seriously, I Need New Pants: Bioshock Infinite Gameplay

There's like dorkgasm all over my desk. I'm terribly embarrassed, so I'm not sure why I'm tell you lot.

But seriously you get to shoot birds. BIRDS. 40 years later down in Rapture you only get some wussy wasps or crap.

BIRDS.

Like Ca-Caw Ca-Caw.

BIRDS.

He Prefers The Boys: Eddie Long

Well my home state is all in the news of the gay world this week. We found out that someone in the camp of Saxby Chambliss was responsible for a ridiculous homophobic comment on a website and now one of our most prominent "men of God" has yet another lawsuit on his hands.

Apparently Long used his position of power and the words of his favorite imaginary friend (ie scripture) to coerce young males into sexual acts. This is another one of those famous "Gay people are evil horrible creatures" in the public then they're off to the local gloryhole to contemplate their hypocrisy while smoking some meat pole.

I'm not sure how many of these geniuses it will take for mainstream america to understand that obviously homosexuality is something that isn't prevalent only among the democrats or city dwellers. It is indeed just part of the human condition and these weasel-y people who claim otherwise are simply uncomfortable in their own skins – and often prefer those of other boys.  

I Think I Wet Myself: Epic Harry Potter Trailer

No, seriously, I need a tissue. There's a movie based on literature that has more to draw me to it than Taylor Lautner's abs. Take note people, take note.

American Foreign Policy...

is now available as a Facebook game.

Tegan and Sara's "Northshore" Video

Apparently I always like the "non-single" tunes from albums, so it's weird when one of my favorites gets a video and star treatment (like Lindsey Lohan without all the drugs and bitch). I was excited when I heard about Northshore being the new single....and then the video of them hopping around in a room make me.....well I still like it. 

VH1 (does that channel even exist anymore?) DIVAS: The Lullaby Edition

This lady is my new hero. Check out Elissa Rosenthal doing some spot on impersonations of nearly every female singer of the past decade. It pleases my face, much like money does. Money and coke.

The drink. Coke. The drink.

Random Hot: Justin Gaston

Gaston, like, the hot guy Belle wasn't interested in. Silly woman.

More New Florence

Our favorite fiery-haired Brit has released a new video for "Heavy In Your Arms", her contribution to the Eclipse soundtrack. It's very Tori Amos meets Paranormal Activity. Enjoy, crap your pants.

I'm Going To Hell...

even if it did take me a few seconds.

Will Keep In Mind...

You may has to clicks it to makes it biggerns than it are right now.

I'm not too terribly sure how completely fracked up english is relative to typography, but it just felt right, so I went with it. That's how I usually end up with my pants around my ankles in the mall.

The American Entrepreneurial Spirit

A girl cant be widdout her hurr did, y'all. No seriously, you should have at least got two dear, where's your self respect?

Exploding People! Florence's Re-released "Dog Days Are Over" Video

Florence and the Machine "DOG DAYS ARE OVER" Music Video from LEGS MEDIA on Vimeo.

So who knew she came out with a different video for this track that the rest of the world got into over a year and a half ago? This whole American crap is boring me. I need to move.

FALL MIX! Download Now!

So I (finally) put together a new mix of pure awesome. Follow the link and check it out. Then let me know what you think of course!

Since my last one got pulled rather quickly, we're going to not mention who's on it and so forth, see if that helps (check the second image for the full line-up though). If it gets yanked, just let me know and we will remedy that situation.

Colored Pencil Scupltures - Neato

Artist Jennifer Maestre creates these ornate sculptures out of colored pencils. Children of the world have less colored pencils to work with. Visionary or Villain? Next on Sick Sad World.

No, they're totally awesome. Check out some more here.

Yes, I'm aware it takes you to Women's Day. As a gay man who prefers night, I'm not sure how I ended up on there either.

Good Gravy Cakes...

To quote a completely unrelated item from Miss Rachel Tensions, "I don't know who he is, but if there's a snow storm tonight, he's going on my tires."

But....we do know who he is. His name is Matthieu, and....he's like Mr. Gay September for...something, it's like in Spanish or French, or Krypton. I can't tell.

Why We Invented Commas

Unless of course, you have no problems F*ckin a dude. Then all is groovy, as the French would say.

Cat of DOOM

He can cut you, I can feel it.

Simple, Awesome Star Wars Posters

Andy Helms has done a series of very similar but quite clever Star Wars posters for episodes 4, 5 and 6 of the franchise. I'm jealous-y, because I can't draw a gorramn thing in illustrator. Check out the others over here on Laughing Squid
