Bottom for Rape Fantasy Tonight/Tomorrow
Today on Cracked we’ve reviewed the 10 creepiest Craiglist casual encounters, which is where many strangers post their requests for anonymous sex. Not that we’re here to judge; it’s kind of cool that there’s a public arena where a young man can stand up and shout into a crowd, “HI I AM 26 AND I NEED FIVE TO EIGHT WELL ENDOWED MALES BECAUSE I WANT TO WEAR A HAT MADE OF DICKS. Here’s my contact info.”
Meanwhile, my friend John sent me this link with the UC Berkely marching band acting out a huge game of Tetris:
I’m fascinated by that, huge numbers of people getting together to do amazing but useless shit. It reminds me of this famous photo, of 18,000 soldiers standing out in the desert to form a Statue of Liberty:
That was part of a promo they were doing back during World War I to sell war bonds. The thing is, you see it and say, “Well, how hard is that? You scratch out a huge statue in the dirt with your shoe, then have everybody stand on it.”
The problem is they didn’t have arial photography back then, so they had to take a picture from a fairly short tower nearby. That means the perspective is skewed, so to make it look right they had to distort the whole image so that when viewed from that angle it would still be in proportion. So, if you could see a top-down view, the torch would be enormous and the feet would be tiny (there are 18,000 men in the formation–and 70% of them are standing in the torch and flame). It’s inspirational to see so many men coming together to create something in perfect unison like that, but the whole thing looks like an enormous pain in the ass.
If you’re following the my retarded horror novel John Dies at the End as it’s slowly released online, today is update day. If you don’t feel like waiting for months to find out how it ends, just buy the paperback.
