A different view of London

London from the Underground

Strangely, none of my London friends recognize this part of the Underground route. An unaltered photograph taken by Dave Gorman from inside the Tube.

Anonymous Video: the outtakes!

Anonymous vs Scientology, the video, is a true masterpiece of anarchist art; simultaneously exciting, enticing, and intimidating, it leaves the viewer both appalled and attracted. Or at least it does if you’re the sum total of my circle of friends. So what if they all hated it! It’s MY circle, dammit, so I have super-voting shares, just like Conrad Black.

This is an anarchy and I run it.

In any case, like everything from the creation of humanity to the blogosphere on down, great art is not achieved without a few false starts. For those of you returning from the Anonymous VS Scientology showdown in London today, here is something to keep the buzz going:

Genetic Manipulation News: The Longhorse Lives!

The longhorse on parade

Oft have we and many other notables of the blogosphere lamented the passing of the iconic Longhorse, most noble of beasts, most loyal of friends, most helpful of livestock, and, until now, most extinct of creatures.

We mourn no longer.

Inspired, perhaps, by the leg-lengthening operations so popular amongst Asians with high net worth and higher pain thresholds, or then again, perhaps by the spine-extension procedures perfected by Dr. Francois Charriere in his rotting and ghoul-haunted Providence house, modern science has dipped into the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and re-created the noble Longhorse, offering it on a for-profit basis in what can only be described as a Frankensteinian nightmare of simultaneous triumph and horror.

Dr. Boli has the proof:

Longhorse Ad

Cautiously optimistic as I may be about advances in science, I think even the most coldly rational among us must pause and consider the implications of turning banal Dobbins into a tawdry modern similacrum of what was once one of nature’s most beautiful creations. Are we not all too familiar with what can occur when Man seeks to usurp the role of Creator?

Jocelyn Wildenstein, the Bride of Wildenstein!

Start your own religion

Stolen from Dr Boli, but then, if he’s going to start a religion he can bloody well afford to spare this, eh?

Your Scientology vs Anonymous Unicorn Chaser Video

Update: Oh, fine, take down your damn videos. Here’s another one:

Some faithful readers have complained about the ominous, extremist anarchist tone taken by the internet action group Anonymous in its video manifestos against the Church of Scientology. And we understand, we really do. We don’t understand why ominositousness, extremeology, and anarchistication are seen as negatives, but there, there, we’ll cut you some slack.

Here is your unicorn chaser, stolen straight from The Church of Stalkerology, Gawker.

LolCats. NonyLolCats vs the Church of Scientology. Is this not the meta-ist of the meta-memes you’ve ever seen? It is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. The only way this could have been improved is if it had been posted, yes, anonymously.
