Anything at All: The Comic

Being a misanthrope, very often I am certain that the ascendancy of the human species to the top of the food chain was a complete fluke, and huge insects are supposed to dominate this planet.  But there are times, once in a blue moon, where I am presented evidence that we humans had the planets aligned at the birth of our species, and I am convinced that it is no accident that we are here.  This video is one of those latter blue moon incidents.

Growing up poor, your television choices are limited.  I remember those summer Sundays going by like molasses until the Simpsons came on in the evening.  The television was a wasteland of golf, Nascar, telenovelas, Cops reruns,  and infomercials.  I felt like informercials were the obvious choice, so I went with that on virtually every occasion.  It seemed like each product had its moment on the sun, and weeks would be dominated by half-hour commercials for the Ronco Rotisseree Grill, or the food dehydrator, or the myriad products sold  by the man with the very phony sounding British accent.  When you watch the same giant commercial many times in a row as I often did, you begin to develop an affection for the awfulness of it all.  Like an appreciation of crappy horror films, an appreciation of informercials is an acquired taste, but one I wouldn’t trade for all the Oxy-clean in the world.

Anyhow, I stumbled upon this video of a remix of some informercial I haven’t seen (because I no longer have TV, and the dearth of infomercial programming on the internet does little to fill the hole in my heart) and it was complete brilliance:

Welcome to this new site.  I had everything moved over, learned more about internet site-building, and reshuffled my idea of what I want my site to be.  Because I am an asshole, I did this with no notice, and may have irked some who were trying to access my stuff.  For that I am sorry.  But I will NOT apologize for what I think is going to be a much more pleasant internet comic experience.

I’m still fixing up the site, so any lack of quality is hopefully due to me not having gotten around to it and not my complete ineptitude when it comes to living life.  To those who will never access my site again, I bid you well on your journey across the cyberseas.
