Quick! Feed The Internet!

I feel like the Internet is just this insatiable swamp beast that is constantly trying to sneak out of its swamp and eat us alive, and nothing will kill it, not even fire, so the only thing that we can do to stay alive is just constantly feed it things that it thinks are more delicious than the human heart, but you’ve got to be fast or else it’ll GETCHA. Another VERY GOOD analogy for the Internet would be that scene in the first Leprechaun movie starring Warwick Davis and Jennifer Aniston when the people learn that one of the myths of the Leprechaun is that he has to shine every pair of shoes that he he comes into contact with, so they gather all the shoes in the house into a garbage bag and just whip the shoes at him, and he’s so angry because now he has to shine all these shoes before he can go murder some fools, but myths are myths and those shoes aren’t going to shine themselves. In this metaphor, we are the people in the house, the Internet is the Leprechaun, and lazy, emptily nostalgic, low-rez pop culture mashing garbage is a bag of shoes. As if to prove my point, the scene that I’m talking about is on YouTube and it has more than 150k views.

This picture of Pee Wee Herman standing with Darth Vader out to hold the Internet off for a little while, but we don’t have much time. We’ve got to get to higher ground. RUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! (Click through to enlarge. Via IHeartChaos.)

Tiny Alien Found In Pakistan Is Probably Barbie

According to this hilarious news report, a tiny female alien was found walking around in Lahore, Pakistan last week, so children took it and burned it and now it’s dead. YouTube people, does this remind you exactly of anything we had here in America a few years back?:

That’s right: the Alabama Leprechaun! Superstitious hysteria and local news gullibility truly know no country. (I especially appreciate all the YouTube comments that just say “FAKE!”) (Via Get That Look.)

New R. Kelly Video! New R. Kelly Video!

I feel like Ozzie in the first Leprechaun movie (played by Mark Holton, who also appears in an episode of Tim and Eric, the circle of life!) “Call the police! Call the fire department! Call everyone! There’s a ~~leprechaun~~ new R. Kelly video attack!”

How pissed is T-Pain? This song is basically an actualized version of the Celine Dion Show from Saturday Night Live. Could it be? Is R. Kelly singing T-Pain better than T-Pain? I like that he not only stole the vocoder, but he's also carving out his own little corner of service industry flirtation. Poor T-Pain. He only had those two schticks. Looks like R. Kelly found a new mouth to pee in. Lucky for us, the pee sounds great!
