Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band... wtf?

So, I just saw some weird shit.

Imagine a strange cross between Head and The Wall. Now, base it off of the Beatles classic Sgt. Peppers. Give it the same title as the album.

Have it star, I shit you not, Peter Frampton, The Bee Gees and Steve Martin.

Add some groovy psychedelic effects.

What the fuck?

What's even sadder is that the the two songs I heard weren't even on Sgt. Peppers, but renditions of Abbey Road tracks (Maxwell's Silver Hammer, done by Steve Martin) and Because (by some Yanni/Zappa looking motherfucker ).

I think it would be fun to watch while on acid. But seriously? I have no clue what to make of it otherwise.

UPDATE: The Yanni/Zappa dude was actually Alice Cooper. Wow, I totally didn't recognize him... All that 'stache got in the way.

For my golden spiral interested friends...

Here's an interesting article (via mefi) on why plants utilize golden spirals in their morphology. It's not super detailed, but it's an interesting look at some of the ideas behind the process.

Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and George W. Bush were set to face a firing squad in a small Central American country. Bill Clinton was the first one placed against the wall and just before the order was given he yelled out, Earthquake!"

The firing squad fell into a panic, and Bill jumped over the wall and escaped in the confusion.

Al Gore was the second one placed against the wall. The squad was reassembled and Al pondered what he had just witnessed. Taking his cue from Clinton, just before the order was given Al yelled out, "Tornado!"

Again the squad fell apart and Al slipped over the wall.

The last person, George W. Bush, was placed against the wall. He was thinking, "I see the pattern here, just scream out something about a disaster and hop over the wall." He confidently refused the blindfold as the firing squad was reassembled.

As the rifles were raised in his direction he grinned from ear to ear and yelled, "Fire!"

Rep. Poe from TX admits the truth about congress (mp3, short but sweet) taken from think progress (about him quoting KKK founder Nathaniel Bedford Forrest on the House floor)... I just like my little sample from there, though :P

Feed the world (candy)...

Do They Know It's Hallowe'en?" is a satire of the song "Do They Know It's Christmas?". It was released on October 11, 2005 on Vice Records by an all-star cast of rock artists and more under the name The North American Hallowe'en Prevention Initiative (NAHPI).

Like its inspiration, it is a charity song, with all proceeds being donated to UNICEF. According to the official press release, the song "stems from a frustration with other benefit songs' misguided, somewhat patronizing attitude, and Western-centric worldview."[1]
