In 2 days we'll all be doomed, dry bones

Harold Camping, the wonderful genius christian radio broadcaster, has decided that we will all die.
Not tomorrow. But on the day after tomorrow, on May 21, 200 Millions will die. Probably in an enormous earthquake.
The rest will die in 6 months.
So, we better turn to Ezekiel! Now.



Now hear the word of the Lord.

Listen to The Delta Rhythm Boys as they are being taught the basic skeletal system:


The Lennon Sisters (and acouple of kids) on The Lawrence Welk Show. Spooky. But if the world is about to armageddon us to bits we better come prepaired and with the right attitude.


Herman Munster is probably the world's first goth-musician. Maybe he has some EMO under his stitched together skin as well? After all he seem like such an awkward kid ... and his haircut is ALL EMO!


The Four Lads had the great honor to be an important part of the last episode of The Prisoner. Confess!


Peter O'Toole knows how to deal with peasants. Crack! Crack! Crack!


Dennis Potter and his Singing Detective is exactly what we need on doomsday!

Meat Propaganda Song

Screaming Hot Dog

My limited "research" on this video indicates it was indeed put out by the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation in 1969. Incredible.

What Sex Brings to the Girl

TEXT: Sex endows the girl with beauty of body, vivacity, and charm of manner. It is the sex or creative impulse which inspires her warmth of affection, her intensity of purpose, her desire to devote herself to the welfare of humanity.

The social hygiene movement of the early twentieth century combined moral indignation and public health methods in an attempt to combat prostitution and venereal disease. ...
..."Youth and Life" [edit: slideshow] was a 48-poster series, designed to educate teenage girls and young women about the dangers of sexual promiscuity and urged them to embrace moral and physical fitness. It was adapted in 1922 by the American Social Hygiene Association."

Red Rape

"Red Rape is that rare sleazy pulp novel that actually lives up to its lurid cover illustration and alarmist subtitle (IT CAN HAPPEN HERE!) within the first two pages. It was a canny choice on the part of the publisher to use the popular - and in this case suggestive - civil defense rallying cry for the book's jacket slogan because it no doubt appealed to the patriotic and prurient interests of the anti-Communist pervs who purchased the book back in 1960. Indeed, the prolific author Connie Sellers* (who is a man) seems to have taken the subtitle as something of an editorial mandate and produced an "anything goes" Soviet invasion fantasy that eclipses anything in John Milius's wildest RED DAWN wet dreams. ..."

The Daisy Girl

"DAISY... is a multimedia extravaganza that is the definitive examination of the notorious 1964 television campaign ad that featured a little girl plucking daisies before being obliterated by stock footage of an atomic bomb explosion. Produced for the Democratic National Committee and designed to decimate the presidential aspirations of Senator Barry M. Goldwater, the Daisy spot has come to be regarded as an iconic moment in pop culture history.
Conelrad has spent the last year tracking down everyone associated with the ad that we could find—including the elusive Daisy Girl herself—as well as locating long forgotten historical documents (textual, graphic, audio, and film) in order to create the most authoritative history ever published on this iconic advertisement. ..."

Chinese Pamphlets

Shui po hai le Jin sang zi




A sad story.

"Mass education materials published in Hong Kong and in Mainland China, particularly Shanghai, in the years 1947-1954. These cartoon books, pamphlets, postcards and magazines, on topics such as foreign threats to Chinese security, Chinese relations with the Soviet Union, industrial and agricultural production, and marriage reform, were produced by both Kuomintang (Nationalist) and Gongchantang (Communist) supporters."

Song titles include: "Celebrating The Founding Of The Emancipated Serfs Association" — "The People's Communes Are Really Good" — "Carrying Manure Up The Mountainside" — "Young Intellectuals Come To The Home Of The Yi People"

"Carrying Manure Up The Mountainside", isn't that a song written by Dolly Parton? And haven't I heard "Young Intellectuals Come To The Home Of The Yi People"? Hm. Was it Beck's latest album? Or was it Momus 3:rd? I'm not sure.

"7" and 10" EPs released by China Records between 1965 and 1978."

The Enemy Agent & You

"Cold War counter-spy instructional film created to convince government officials traveling with top secret info to watch their backs.
Watch hapless G-men get seduced and setup for blackmail by treacherous Soviet she-spies.
Includes clandestine spy gadgets a la James Bond and jarring, film noir-esque music."
