...some celebrities just can't stay out of the news or the dramatic spotlight.
According to the folks at Telegraph.co.uk, in the February month of 2011, an opera about Anna Nicole Smith's life will debut at the Royal Opera House in the United Kingdom. The show was co-written by one of the creators of 'Jerry Springer: The Opera' and will star Dutch soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek ...and yes, I do wish I was making up the fact that there was ever indeed a Jerry Springer opera!
Yes, that's right kids, it was one year ago today that I defiled X-mas week by starting this blog and I have ever since been cynically and inconsistently reporting examples of human behavior that makes our species a little more comically asinine each day. In commemoration of Zombie Darwin's first birthday, I've decided to start a tradition of looking back. I took a look at the various categories of the past year's entries and I decided to take the top 4 most frequently posted categories and re-share my personal favorite example from each one...
As much as I would love an excuse to re-post pictures of the beauty queen who was accused of gun running, I've gotta give it up to the stupidity that is the two drunk burglars who, back in October, actually thought permanent maker would make a good disguise. With an incredibly backwards sense of Halloween spirit, these mugshots have since become viral gold and an online masterpiece testament to the depths of amazing criminal stupidity.
Another one from the Halloween season, this is a news story examining prominent fundamentalist Christians in America basically trying to ruin people's fun in late October by making all manner of bizarre supernatural claims. Why can't we all just get along and have some good old fashioned pagan fun once and a while?
I know that attacking the news (particularly in America) on the grounds of stupidity and the spread of cultural idiocy is like shooting a barn door at point blank range, but when you look back at raw facts versus how they were presented to the culture at the time, the H1N1 scare is a disappointing example of social failure.
As much as I want to be surprised that 'music' made the top four categories, I tend to recall posting about things like Klenginem and Russian rap music. Last year, I presented this video a little late for X-mas, but today the sentiment will be on time. Overlapping with the categoriesdouchebag, euro trash, and hot chicks, I'd like to finish by wishing everyone a Happy Holiday season with a little love from Gunther.
It's been a little while since something from Russia has found it's way into this blog... but today, I found the following asinine display of cultural mimicry in the most recent entry at Hot Chicks With Douchebags.com and I simply couldn't resist giving it a re-post here.
Yes, you read that title right. I couldn't make this one up if I damn well f@#king tried. Although, I have seen the documentary Trekkies and know exactly how bizarre American Star Trek fans can get. So, why should European Trek fans be any less freaking weird? Just the same, as I type this, I'm a little on the fence as to whether or not I should hit the "publish post" button, since this one is more simply a big dumb joke, as opposed to a more typical slap in the face to the concept of subculture that I usually mock by adding to this blog.
Recently, while perusing hotchicks with douchebags.com (another blog site that examines human defiance of natural selection) I came across the video below, and even though X-Mas is totally over, I simply had to snag and share it for comedy sake. Please enjoy. =)
