You know the economy is bad when you find an unemployed one of these...

Educational Surgery Video

Today, I came across around ten surgical videos at the thrift store. All of them looked interesting including the breast cancer one, but I wasn't about to spend $20 to purchase them all since it's likely I'll never watch them. So, I picked the one that seemed the scariest: Surgical Treatment of Carcinoma of the Rectum.

Yes, the Rectum!

The video was somewhat fascinating, although there was no footage of an actual medical procedure. However, there were some nifty diagrams of removing a tumor from an asshole.

The thing that struck me as incredibly strange were the surgeons speaking on this subject. Here's four of them:





They all look like freakin' zombies and each blinked a total of 4 or 5 times during the entire video. But then again, I'd probably be stuck in a state of shock too if I had devoted my life to poking around people's cornholes.

Speaking of poking around cornholes, here's some instruments that will likely give you nightmares (click to enlarge):



The best part about this video wasn't the zombie surgeons, the terminology, nor the graphic diagrams, it was an advertisment at the beginning of the video. If you ever wondered what a commercial directed at surgeons would look like, you're about to find out:



Yes, it's just as bizarre as the four surgeons pictured above!

Featured on MTV's DJ and the Fro... Well, maybe not.

A couple of months ago, I was contacted by a person who worked at Titmouse animation studios. They were working on a new TV show for MTV called "DJ and the Fro" and wanted to use some of the videos featured on this blog. Of course, I agreed and sent them some high quality copies of the videos. The three videos were Henrietta & Merna, Old Guy with Hurdy Gurdy, and that Smoke Free Grads video.

However, the animation studio decided that they should pursue the original copyright holders. The Public Access channel that aired Henrietta & Merna and the Hurdy Gurdy guy has been dead since the mid-90s and was bought out by evil Shaw Cable. I gave Shaw's contact information to Titmouse, but Shaw wouldn't admit to holding the copyright to these videos. Bummer.

Virtually the same thing happened with the Smoke Free Grads video, except the company who made the video is still around. They wouldn't sign the papers since nobody could remember what the video was. Go figure.

So, the videos won't be on MTV after all. I'm still flattered that my three videos were selected for the show.

BTW, the basic idea of The DJ and Fro is a modern-day Beavis and Butthead, where two co-workers swap and discuss viral video on the internet. It should be airing within the next month or so. There's still very little information about the series, but here's a quote I picked up from some website:

DJ AND THE FRO: MTV brings animation back to the network with DJ and the Fro. It’s Beavis and Butthead for the Millennial generation. DJ and the Fro work for a big corporation – though they aren’t sure exactly what the company does. Aimed at the generation that eats, sleeps and breathes technology — DJ and the Fro combines animation and the best of the web. The internet clips are arguably the stars of the show – the funniest, weirdest videos on the internet, made funnier and weirder by the observations of DJ and the Fro.

They'd probably win a Golden Globe award if Henrietta & Merna were actually on the show. Without that video, they'll probably lose to some stupid reality show.

Oh well, perhaps I'll hear something again from them for the next season!

The Dust Cake-Ridden 386

This is one of the few computers I found during the winter. The inside of it was caked in dust and it refused to turn on despite the power supply being in working order. So, the hard drive got pulled out and put into my test box. Windows 3.1 really flies at 833 MHz!

Here's something cool I found on it... Remember when Yahoo.com looked like this?



Yeah, neither do I. It's a cached HTML file from 1996.

The computer was also packed with software, most of it being quite useless to me. However, I did find the sweet spot... the place where all documents were stored. I sat and read a few files, and I couldn't help but burst out laughing!

If you've been poking around this place for the past week or so, you may have noticed that I've created a new blog. Like all the others, this blog contains data from a computer I found in the trash. However, this one's a bit different... It's the first blog with files that were written by a male. Normally when I find a computer that belonged to a male, it's filled with porn. Not this one... it's filled with business letters, and they're mostly complaints.

So, I invite you to come along and join me in the exciting journey of Donald's Business Ventures!
