I am a sucker for 1950s kitschy futurism. Especially the futuristic way of life that Disney promoted with Tomorrowland, Epcot, and the like. Here’s an excerpt from a 1958 Disney show titled “Magic Highway U.S.A.”

It’s interesting to note the things that actually came to pass: rearview cameras, GPS systems, and unchecked suburban sprawl.

I for one think we could use some of those sun-powered-electro-suspension cars and the flying ambulance/fire truck/wrecker.

 

The A.V. Club has a hilarious post about the worst band names of ’07, and I gotta tell ya, I fucking rolled on the floor with some of these names. Let me give you a glorious taste:

Gay Witch Abortion

Statutory Grape

Harmonica Lewinsky

Slut Barf

Ima Fucking Gymnast

This shit goes on for 3 pages.  Seriously, this is one of the funniest things I’ve read all day, and that’s pretty damn good cause I read the Bible today…..too soon?
