A tale of lust and corruption starring Micheal O’Malley:

As you can see from that video I could use a buck or two to help pay the bills so you can donate if you would like on the sidebar to the right or I will personally croon you a ridiculous tune or make you a custom video if you go to my Fiverr site. Thanks to all who have given so far.

A “scholarly” look into the deeper meaning of Gilligan’s island can be found here. (via Boing Boing) Like most ridiculous essays of the sort it’s much more entertaining than the show itself.   Plus it’s way more complex than your typical “Mary Anne is the Virgin and Ginger is the Whore” kind of thing.  As a kid I personally found the show to be infuriating.  Infinite sitcom status quo applied to what my young mind thought was a “life and death” situation made me really miserable.  I think I watched it the same way people now watch reality TV.  I just couldn’t wait to judge these awful people and their idiotic lives.  I think the crummy reunion show where they finally escape only to get trapped on the island again made me into a little nihilist. I’m not really a fan of most of them, but I kind of wish Hollywood would go back to making insane high concept sitcoms.

The Bat Cave is where goth furry Bruce Wayne spent most of his time after his parents died.  It’s a super decked out basement with the best PC rig ever.  There is a big penny and a speedboat.  Sometimes he’ll knock people out and bring them there.

The Legion of Superheroes fly around in the Mark X with Matter Eater Lad the best superhero ever.  Matter Eater Lad is hillarious and when he became an adult he was governor of space or something and went crazy trying to get fired.  Also on the show he had sunglasses and a big tooth on his shirt.  Matter Eater Lad is the best and the Mark X is a ship worthy of the best Legionnaire.  Make another Legion episode of Smallville this time starrint Matter Eater Lad.

Aquaman’s Bungalow.  The greatest and most famous of all Superhero Hideouts.  Every time the throne of MermaidLand is usurped and Aquaman is banished, he goes there to solve the mystery of his usurping so he can re-surp the throne and become the rightful surp again.  This is the plot of all Aquaman comics unless he’s punching bad men on boats.

The Baxter Building is that old skyscraper with the big 4 in downtown Manhattan that used to belong to Reed Richards until the EPA shut him down for his Asbestos Rooms and Blasting Rocket Fuel Into The River.  It is not for Channel 4 like everybody says.

The Evil Dr. Who from The King Kong Show has a secret base inside of a pyramid that looks way cooler in this picture from a magazine than it ever did in that cheap-ass cartoon.  Unfortunately there is no sweet playset like the Technodrome or The Ghostbuster Fireman House Deal because this show wasn’t made in the 80′s so kids still had use their lame imaginations.

A Non-Ironic Volcano Full Of Ninjas.

I always liked that Jaws got to hang with his little girlfriend after the laser fight.  But then he was on James Bond Jr. so I guess there is no justice.
