Up a Paddle - Episode 56 - Yeah, I'm Kinda Evil

Well, you want evil, you got it, albeit in the form of random slightly disturbing videos.  So, in no particular order:

Pom Poko.  "Mommy, why isn't that raccoon wearing any pants?"  

  
Disney stuff is the best. Speaking of Disney stuff:
Walt Disney's The Menstruation Story

Worms in a guy's stomach - WARNING - Video is exactly what I said.  People with weaker temperaments beware.
The green stuff in his stomach is a nice touch.

And, because Wii Fit Girlfriend got you all hot and bothered, here's the sequel:
Wii Fit Boyfriend

Putting this video on hulu.com after I downloaded on iTunes, now that's evil.  Well played, Whedon.

E3
In this segment I give a rundown of of the E3 conferences.  Fortunately, Penny Arcade has already done a much better job of this.  Check out this comic for more details.

Here's the wikipedia article on the spanking machine I mentioned.  I did not realize how depraved the thing was until I learned it also has a kancho mode.  For more information on kanchos, go to Gaijin Smash, a blog written by an American that taught English in Japan.  There's some pretty wild stories in there.

Back to my show, I also go on a bit of a rant (I know, I never rant, but I guess there's a first time for everything) about why E3 is a flawed concept.

Random Fact
Mario was named after Mario Segale, the landlord of Nintendo of America’s office, who barged in on a company meeting demanding an overdue rent.

Bragging Rights
I bought a PS3.  Booyah!  It was consumer whorism at its finest.  If you are looking for sweet video game deals (and in Canada), check out the Redflagdeals.ca.  Also, check out CheapAssGamer.com.
