For years now, I’ve been quite the DVD commentary enthusiast. It began with the drunken track on the Cannibal: The Musical DVD featuring intoxicatingly funny conversation from an intoxicated Trey Parker and Matt Stone. That track showed that commentaries can be genuinely “special” features… if filmmakers use them to their full potential.
I have been idly browsing the internet for hours today and I’ve just arrived at the point where your brain seems to switch off, which also happens to be the perfect time for a great discovery like this image from ghost-pictures.com.
Yeah, that’s right. The team of “ghost hunters” at this site claim to offer “ghosts where other ghost hunters can only find dirty washing!” When I saw this image of Elvis Presley’s ghost on the moon, I simply had to share with the world.
I never thought the day would come when I would get to use the words Elvis, ghosts, and moon in the same sentence.
Many kids of the 80s are so quick to turn their backs on the King of Pop, but I’m proud to say that I love Michael Jackson. In the words of Dave Chappelle, “He made Thriller… Thriller!”
In recent years (or decades depending on who’s talking) Michael has become more of a “Trashwire” celebrity, someone who’s kooky antics are fun, trashy tabloid fodder.
I recently saw a post on Digg that said that Michael recently converted to Islam and will change his name to Mikaeel. Of course, this was accompanied by a photo of him, covered from head to toe in “a traditional Arab women’s veil”.
My question to the world is this:
Is this really shocking to anyone? Is anything Michael does shocking to anyone anymore?
I feel like that bit on Weekend Update, “Really?!? With Seth and Amy”, where I just want to say, “Really, folks? Really? You’re really that surprised when Michael Jakson does something weird? Really?”
Anyway, I had to post the link because, despite the fact that I detest all these little short blurbs about “Jacko’s” daily misadventures, I find it rather irresistable to keep up with such non-news.
