Back in 94, Evan Dando was unable to sing at several concerts because of an overindulgence in crack (here's a great interview explaining in detail his problems). I wonder what this video is about then?
It's not European, and it's not electro, but what the fuck. The good ol' US of A makes some good songs too.
Mark Gastineau was sued in 1989 by a Peoria, IL father over the release of a DVD titled "Push It to the Limit". Commercials depicted the instructional video as Gastineau's own personal football technique, drills and coaching to the kids. However, this was false advertising. The actual tape consisteted of nothing but motivational speeches, bizarre inserts of Gastineau screaming into the camera, snorting lines of cocaine, dancing and in one instance, fondling a womans breast. He was also depicted screaming "GET FIRED UP" and seen tearing up a small television studio (going as far as to chew on the carpet). Gastineau settled out of court, and production on the short lived video was halted immediately. Very few copies exist today, but it remains one of the most serious cases of false advertising from any sports figure in the last 20 years.
If you want to sell absolutely anything, you should have a professional wrestler as your pitch-man. Surefire way to guarantee fiscal success. Don't believe me? Check out these inspirational ads and tell me you're not intrigued. (Disclaimer: I watch a lot of television between 3am and 7am )
Best $24.95 I never spent!
Taste was FANTASTIC (but I couldn't get my face on a can unfortunately)
I bet the tobacco company was none too pleased, but I did quit smoking right away!!
Many refer to baseball as America's national pastime. It's simple, classic, and timeless. Plus, everyone here in the US is already on steroids anyway, so it's easily relatable. Well we here at the Dblog have just unearthed a phenomenon that is certain to sweep our nation. That's right, we're talking about Kancho. Fine-tuned and widely spread throughout Japan, Kancho is the art of inserting your clasped index fingers into an unsuspecting rectum. Sounds fun, right? I mean who would honestly turn down a free colon inspection or take umbrage at the fact that a complete stranger feels the need to tickle your poo-hole? Not us here at the Dblog. We are equally opportunity hobby enthusiasts and support all cultural games, from indian burns to happy corners. Nevertheless, we feel quite strongly about the potential for Kancho in the States and are officially declaring that it will be the biggest foreign infusion into American culture since PF Chang's, David Beckham, and Sudoku . . . COMBINED! With its history of success among children and the existence of an already marketable video game featuring lovable characters ranging from prostitute to child molester, it's only a matter of time people. I mean, look how much fun these kids are having
Get your fingers ready ladies and gentlemen, because America is about to get probed!
