Operation Global Media Domination: Dog Days

Posted on by

TIAOkay, so what did we learn from yesterday's Scooby adventures? That puppy posts fucking suck for hits.

To rectify the situation:

Clay Aiken and Michael Sandecki are, reports a source I never saw or heard of before, engaged and looking to get married in California before a ban goes into effect.

Does this have anything to do with dogs? Only 50/50 since Clay got that hawt makeover. Do I think it's true? Look, regardless of any and all sterling qualities that may be possessed by Michael Sandecki possibly including the ability to execute quarter-turns, after what Clay Aiken must have learned about fandom over the past few months Aiken would have to be wall-crawlingly, moon-howlingly, alien-talkingly and officially certifiably insane to even consider marrying one of his own fans.

And I speak as a fan.

Okay, look. Let's be honest. If the lead singer here were a white boy dancing like that he wouldn't get the girl; he'd get the tongue depressor forced between his teeth, a double dose of clonazepam, and the snazzy jacket with the extra-long sleeves that buckle in the back. Those backup boys can rock it out, it must be said. The lyrics are a bit messy, though, a little too brutally honest. "We also create false promises" eh?

From Boingboing:

In this youtube, a band identified as the "Indian Beatles" performs a totally rockin' version of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" in Hindi…

Commenters on the YouTube page add more details. The song is "Tumse Hai Dil Ko" from the film "Jaanwar" — and this: "The camera work is exceptional, the singing great, and the fact that this was just 1 year after the Beatles' appearance on the Ed Sullivan show makes this work of adaptive plagiarism all the more impressive."

And the lyrics:

Look, no one knows yet
Look, no one knows yet
My heart loves you
My heart loves you

Look, no one knows yet
Look, no one knows yet
My heart loves you
My heart loves you

We meet because of destiny
We also create false promises
We meet because of destiny
we also create false promises

My heart loves you
My heart loves you
Look, no one knows yet
Look, no one knows yet
My heart loves you
My heart loves you

TIAAnd Poof! Just like that, a meme dies. Yes, Beautiful Agony is no longer the top post in the raincoaster blog. Let's look at the past 24 hours, shall we?

Going to the Past 24 Hours cam…we can see that yesterday, the top post was The 100 Most Influential People in History, followed by Operation Global Media Domination: The Search for Meaning (talk about going meta with OGMD), and then Beautiful Agony.

So far today it's a half-nekkid Britney Spears with hey y'all! coming in on top (and if you have any doubts she's a top, just ask Timberlake or K-Fed), three lengths ahead of The 100 Most Influential People in History, and then Geoffrey Chaucer's Hottest Pickup Lines of the Fourteenth Century.

Sex and power, power and sex. Plus ça change… 

Update! Due to its posting on a British forum with which I am entirely unfamiliar, despite the pic of Viggo in the heading (I thought I knew all of them, dammit) the current most popular post on the blog is 06-06-06 Helpful Questionnaire: Is My Child The Devil’s Son? Because this is a question that has occurred to all parents at one time or another.
