Diario de un Kamikaze en Recuperación

I can imagine this idiot's conversation with St. Peter at the pearly gates:

Peter: "Next."

Man: "Hey what gives, I though God didn't exist, I mean, I called to him, asked him to save me from the lions..."

Peter: "Lions? Are those Romans killing Christians again down there?"

Man: "No, I got in there all by myself to see if He would save me."

Peter: "So you didn't hear the persistant voice in your head telling you that it was a stupid idea? What were you expecting, an e-mail?" (Pushes the button to the trap-door that leads to the special section of Hell™, reserved for the really dumb suicides)

Peter: "Next."

Thought this was interesting.

Marvel has come out with a mini-series, Civil War in which two factions of superheroes start taking sides over the actions of the U.S. Government.

I'm not a big fan of comic books, but it's interesting to see how these artists are trying to bring the debate to the masses in a friendly way.

Favorite Captain America quote from this issue:

"Don't play politics with me, lady. Superheroes need to stay above that stuff or Washington starts telling us who the supervillains are."

One of my favorite-all time Muppets bits is the "Manha Manha" song:



Well, today I found out (courtesy of wikipedia):
"Mah Na Mah Na" is a well-known song, written in 1968 by Piero Umiliani as a soundtrack for the Italian softcore-pornography pseudo-documentary film Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso (Sweden, Hell and Heaven) about sexual activity in Sweden, and was played under a portrayal of lesbian BDSM."

See why porn is cool?

Need I say anything else?

Read the article on The Onion

This is precious. I can surely say my thoughts on Scientology have not improved...

I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that for Americans, the Simpsons are more popular than the Constitution. From Reuters:

Half of 1,000 Americans randomly surveyed by the McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum could name at least two of the five members of Fox Television's Simpson family, the stars of the network's long-running show.

But just 28 percent of respondents could name more than one of the five freedoms listed in the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment -- about the same proportion that could name all five Simpson family members or could recall the three judges on Fox TV's top-rated "American Idol."

Just 8 percent could recall three First Amendment freedoms.

[...] Freedom of religion was recalled by 24 percent, freedom of the press by 11 percent, freedom of assembly by 10 percent, and freedom to petition for redress of grievances (right to a day in court) by 1 percent.

I don't know what disturbs me the most about this news article, the fact that a person actually sued the USPS for being too stupid to look where she was going, or that the frickin' U.S. Supreme Court actually heard the case and had to make a ruling. Don't they have anything better to do? Like, say, rule on partial-birth abortion?

It's these kinds of cases that actually make me fell glad the Mexican judicial system is useless.

In Mexico this would have gone something like this:
Woman: Judge! I've tripped over the mail, the postal service needs to compensate me!
Jugde: Boo-hoo! I should throw YOU in jail for pretending to be funny since we don't have a postal system.

(Actually, we technically do have one, but when every letter takes about 3-4 months to reach it's destination, it's better to pretend like we don't)

I just bumped into this on Google Video.

This is probably one of the funniest, most original video I've seen in a while. Somebody had waaay too much time on their hands, thank God.

In a nutshell, it's over 1 hour of pretty much every popular anime movie or show, set to your favorite 80's music plus some additional audio dubbing. The effort must have been quite impressive (according to their web page, this video has over 217 [!] clips).

Now, I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan of anime, but I think it's one of the most misunderstood, under-rated and entertaining art forms--probably stemming from our Japanese friends' obsession with big eyes, hair and animated naked women.

My favorite moments:

• The girls on one of the opening sequences reloading revolvers (as in guns) with bullets coming out of their rather large boobs.
• Clip of Hellsing to the soundtrack of "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" [that was EXACTLY what I thought the first time I saw that show].
• Dragon Ball-Z clip of Vegetta (however the hell that's spelled) to the track of Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You".
