Awesome Photos of 40s London

This is London...in 1949. I need to go to the island so the time travel mechanics will send me here long enough to be gay with Richard Alpert in Gangster London.

iPad: The Original

Yes yes, all the iTampon jokes going everywhere since Wednesday's announcement of the iPad. Remember kids, these people aren't clever, they just watched madTV when it was still on the air. I have vaginal firewall protection too, I was so gay I demanded a c-section so I'd never have to touch one.

Dowdy Kitchen Man: How To Report The News

My ex did this for a living. Not being funny, but being a reporter for an eerily exactly formatted television station. Well there weren't British accents either, just sad. Good times.

New Zealand Advertising Strikes Again

We've seen the amazing True Blood ads already, now the other place down under has made an insanely brilliant advert for American Psycho. It's only amazing if you've seen the movie before, but its coming on tv, so surely you have.

I heart it, more than I heart my penis. That's saying like...a lot.

Blog World: Unhappy Hipsters

Have you ever had the sudden urge to look at galleries of unhappy people surrounded by gorgeous architecture? Well, I have.
Last Tuesday to be exact. If you decide to join me you should check out Unhappy Hipsters (here of course).
It will make you wish you had a new house but remind you that you still have your soul in trade.

Thanks to Robin for the tip.

It's An iPad.

Apple has finally announced their tablet computer called the iPad. It's like a giant iPhone. Literally. Except you can't make calls on it, except for the hundreds of videos where Apple geeks film themselves talking into it like it *is* a giant iPhone. People are so cool. Click here for some details. (on the iPad, not the cool people)

LOST Season 2 Posters

 

So here are my season 2 minimalist adverts for LOST. They ended up a bit more actually illustrative than I wished, look for a return to the abstracted versions for season three. Thoughts? Predictions on next weeks lottery numbers?

Now My Lip Hurts

This is apparently a Pyrex plug that you too can put into your lip instead of your...lip and show the world what's stuck in your teeth while you retain that stony silence that makes you so damn cool. 

I Want: LED Motion Sensing Wall

I'm pretty sure it could go in my bedroom. There's not much motion in there though. HEY-OH.
No, there is, I have to walk through to get to the bathroom.

Need To See: Diary of a Wimpy Kid

This reminds me of me in middle school, except my friends were....girls.
And I didn't have a hot older brother, that could have been weird. And dirty. Ew. ::brain bath::

Speaking of Evil: Avatar News

So it's official ladies and gentlemen. You have made Avatar the highest-grossing film of all time (not adjusting for inflation).
Pat yourselves on your blue Pocahontas hating backs. So far Cameron's Dances with Blue People has made $1.859 billion dollars.

There, go cry now. Cry like when your dad did that thing in your bikini area, it's essentially the same.

Eek! Gary Coleman Is Evil/A Wifebeater

Look at that, the midget anger, the dwarven deadliness. It's as if all the little souls in the world are in danger of this man's might. Mr. Coleman was arrested in Utah (it was the Mormon influence) and charged with domestic violence.

What are you talking about police officer?

Walmart Brings An Ad That's...Funny

How am I supposed to think they're as evil now? Oh that's right, the oppressive experience of being inside of a walmart. I think they should have employees reenacting this to bring some livelihood

Spice Girls: The Musical

I'm not quite sure how I've missed this over the past couple of months, but the spice girls have signed a deal with the creator of Mamma Mia! for a musical featuring their tunes.

What does this me for Aaron, your favorite blogger? Well, dears, that means a trip to London and new panties.

The show is under the working title of Viva Forever and shall be something akin to gay heaven. I shall post more news as I hear it, because nothing says sad like keeping up with your favorite musicians from when you were twelve.

God May, In Fact, Love Us

Plastic McGilicuty Heidi Montag's new "album" has sold less than 1,000 copies in its first week according to Nielson Soundscan.

Even better news? She claims she's broke because she pumped so much money into it....and her new face.  Rejoice earthlings, she may go away.

Cindy McCain Does Mouth-Covering Pro Gay Stuff

Wife of Republican senator John McCain, Cindy, has done one of the bazillion NOH8 images. This marks kind a big deal in all seriousness, perhaps other Republicans will realize that us butt humpers aren't the worst problem in the world. Bad hair is.

Kudos Cindy, I'm sure you can also work this somehow to become more wealthy. If you do, more power to you.

It's Florence Time

Florence + The Machine - You've Got The Love

Florence and The Machine | MySpace Music Videos

So at least England is getting it right, Florence + The Machine's album has finally taken over the number one spot on their charts after 28 weeks in the top 40. Awesome sauce.

In other news, her videos keep getting less and less cool...but she's still neat.

Other News: Christina Hendricks Is Insanely Hot

That's pretty much it. Who would have thought watching Saffron on Firefly would thing she'd be all super-glitzy and on one of the best shows in recent memory? Me, actually (I never lie, btw)

America, I Give Up: Golden Globes Edition

So we have officially sold our souls.  Satan himself, James Cameron has won Best Picture (Drama) and Best Director for Avatar Pocahontas 2. Proving, for once and all, that we just don't give a shit.

Kudos, America.

Random: Picasso Doing Light-Graffiti

Yeah, he did that too.  He also boarded a UFO and recorded "Thriller" years before Jackson did. Your move Monet, oh no, you're dead.

Check out some more of the shots here.

Ridiculous Or A Little Cool? Jaguar Cycle

Massow Concept Cycles have developed this doozy of a bike modeled after a Jaguar (the animal, not necessarily the car of the same name/design of cat...that's just....very...coincidental...but probably)

So what do we think? Is it insanely retarded or a stroke of kitty bike genius? Both? Neither? Soup?

New! Tiesto Feat. Tegan and Sara

You put these two in anything and I'd watch it/listen to it. I think they'd make one helluva Pringles commercial now that you mention it. One helluva Pringles commercial indeed.


Mmmm...sour cream and onion.

Old But Far Too Good To Ignore

This works irritatingly well to me. There are problems when something blends like this. Problems like the space time continuum has been compromised, or if you're in of Montreal, something about controllerspheres whatever the gay hell that is.

Well, Good To Know: Pornography Numbers

If you click it, it will grow.

So there, now you know that if you're a guy looking to get into porn it pays about what a retail manager would make. but it pays....in vagina. Think about it.

Reiterate The Sadness: Top 5 Selling Singles Of The Decade

"Qua?"

just "qua?"

I also realized that I stopped listening to mainstream music before I...thought I did? I had heard each of these songs before (mostly not in their entirety) but the only one I knew knew was from 2001. Go me. I eat applesauce.

Surprise: Palin Joins The Ranks Of Fox News

Sarah Palin (Moose Spice) has joined the most conservative group in the entire world, the Jehovah's Witnesses,  Fox News. She shall be a political commentator on Fox News Channel, Fox News Business, Foxnews.com, and some other random outlet for her to spew gibberish and the middle class women who feel Hilary is too "successful" at her job. About the position Palin said:

"I am thrilled to be joining the great talent and management team at Fox News. It's wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balanced news."

Proving once and for all, she's a genius.

Star Wars: The Burlesque Show

LA Weekly has several (several is french for 40) shots of a local Burlesque club who decided that they needed more virgin semen (for the ritual of course). So they thought to themselves, what would give us the most (virginal semen)? then they thought: Star Wars.  And there were Star Wars and the Lord saw that it was good...and stuff.

Check out tons of pics here.

Zordon: Racist Head

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

This has been obvious since I was 6, but none the less, enjoy.

Please Stop Butchering Movies, America Vol 1

Mark your calenders and prepare to not go to the movies on October 1st. Why, you ask? That would be because America (this place) has decided that nearly perfect Danish vampire movies are stupid. Therefore the Hollywood version of "Let the Right One In" aptly titled "Let Me In" (I suppose so no one gets confused by the lengthy 5 word version) is being remade by Cloverfield director Matt Reeves.

So not only are remakes getting less and less worried about how soon they come out from the original (this was last year people). But British accents are no longer tolerable (see: both versions of "Death at a Funeral")

I'm moving to Europe.

You've Seen It All Before

No wonder it's selling so well, it's the Pocahontas we've always dreamed of (ie without Native Americans). I can't wait until Avatar 2: Harrah's of Pandora.

Hell, make way for me.

That Put Me In A LOST Mood

So, here at Aaronthebond (here being my desk), we (we being I) wanted to try to create a series of super minimalist LOST promo pictures for each season. Tonight is season 1. Thoughts? Favorites? Indegestion?

New LOST Supper Promo Pic

ABC has released yet another promo pic for the final season of LOST. I mean, sure they're better than the school of the damned photos that were released earlier, but it still feels like they aren't really trying anymore. Battlestar Galactica's Last supper promo was far more awesome, mostly because I have a straight crush on # Six.

Alas, enjoy Jesus Locke.

The Worlds Tallest Building...Now Doing Buildingy Things

So the Burj Dubai opened today, standing at an outrageous 2683 feet tall. Just so you understand the ridiculous awesomeness of it, the Arabian Business says:

The Burj Dubai is expected to use an average of 946,000 litres of water each day. During peak cooling conditions, the tower will drink up around 12,500 tons of cooling – equal to the cooling capacity offered by about 10,000 tons of melting ice. On to electricity, and the tower will power through around 50 MVA of electricity at peak times – the equivalent of having some 500,000 100-watt lightbulbs burning at the same time . . . Courtesy of Dubai's steamy climate, the Burj Dubai is expected to sweat out a significant amount of condensation – particularly in the summer months. These droplets will be siphoned off to a tank in the basement car park, and used to water the tower's plants and landscaping features. It's expected that 15,000 litres – enough to fill 20 Olympic-sized pools- will be gathered each year . . . There will be 1,044 residential apartments, 49 office floors and the Armani Hotel Dubai, which will have 160 rooms spread amongst the first 39 floors. Additional features include an eleven hectare park, six water features and space for 3,000 underground parking spaces . . . In the event of fire – don't panic. You won't be expected to walk down all 162 floors if the lifts are out-of-service. Instead, there are pressurized, air-conditioned refuge areas every 25 floors or so, where you can huddle to await rescue.

 So does anyone else remember when the new World Trade Center was going to be the new tallest building in the world at 1776 feet tall? We fail. 

Because Blue Is Beautiful

Ah, I'm so glad she's expanded beyond her Latina norms. You go girl, etc etc. I tried to do this look years ago and people just made fun. I'm ahead of my time. Yet, James Cameron is making all the money.

Bastard.

Also New(ish) Gossip's Love Long Distance

Beth Ditto is some kind of slightly obese god. I want to make lesbian-gay we don't actually have sex babies with her. Just so they can have her voice...and her awesomeness.

Gays, No Way. You're Not Related So It's Wrong

Just because why not. Surprisingly both NY and California are on the list of those that let us cousins marry. I thought that was just here.

We got a lovely chip and dip when I got married to Sue Beth.

New(ish) Electric Six. Absolutely NSFW!

Electric Six "Body Shot" (2009) - NSFW 18+ from Another Reybee Productions, Inc. on Vimeo.

Please, under no circumstance play this video at work, or at home. Unless you enjoy lots of boobies. Not just those fit girl kind either. The old and the rotund are equally adored in this, yet another silly fun time, by Electric Six.

I had no idea this album was out...I can't keep up anymore

Vampires Were So 2009

In this new age of 2010, we, as a culture are so beyond the vampire craze that swept the world last year. Now, it's all about the angels. No, not that Gabriel Biblical crap. Real angels...that suck energy from humans and are very sexy.

And they tell us gays we're going to hell.

Happy new year!
