Full Episodes of Japanese Spiderman Series

This is weird, but also kind of fun.

Marvel.com has full episodes of the Japanese Spiderman series. As the song in the intro says, “Yeah Yeah Yeah WOW!”

Here’s a sample episode:

You can watch tons more, including “The Hero’s Shining Hot Blood” (which as far as I know is not X-rated) at Marvel’s Japanese Spiderman Movie Hub. They have English subtitles, but they don’t make a lot of sense. I mean, they do, but not really. It’s fun stuff, though.

Discount at The Shelving Store

As any stay at home dad knows, you sometimes develop womanly tendencies. I don’t mean breasts, although, hey, it could happen. I mean getting excited about things that you never knew existed. Things like a sale at The Shelving Store.

It goes something like this:

“A sale at The Shelving Store? Well we need more shelves in Johnny’s closet. If I had more shelves I could organize his closet much more efficiently. So a sale? On SHELVING? Is this my lucky day or what?”

Definitely “or what.” If you’ll excuse me, I need to go visit a strip club and then shoot a wild animal. Right after I place my order for new shelves. Family first.

Show and Tell – Hanoi Jane’s Hot Mug Shot

Say what you will about Jane Fonda, but she was a nice looking woman in her day. Even after being arrested. There’s something very sexy about this mug shot from 1970. To see Jane in her prime, though, pick up “Barbarella“; click here for a video clip. (Stylelist)

Evolution, graffiti style. (ChickenCrap via StumbleUpon)

DaddyTips Show and Tell for July 24, 2009

• Is Archie Andrews hung like a horse? Like, Minnesota Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe size? You have to wonder what the artist was thinking when they drew this page. (Buzzfeed)
• More nerdy stuff from Buzzfeed: the cast of Star Wars, in a photo from a long time ago, in this galaxy. It’s Vader and Chewie without their costumes. In a suit and tie. Weird. (Buzzfeed)
• I can accept that I don’t understand fashion. (Shocking, I know.) But $895 for a baby carrier? What’s wrong with one of the bags you get from the supermarket? (Pursuitist)

Passing On The Craziness – Moon Landing Hoaxes

One surefire method to ensure that your child grows up to be a lunatic is to expose them to conspiracy theories at a young age.

Children are impressionable. Combine that natural openness with the idea that “Dad is a figure of a Godlike knowledge” and bingo! They’ll believe what you tell them.

Now, we know this is not entirely true. When one of the first couples in my circle of friends had a son, I kept trying to tell him at a barbecue that there were aliens on the roof. He just looked at me and said, “No. You’re wrong,” with a big dopey grin on his face.

Luckily, the Internet offers “proof” of numerous crackpot theories. One the crackpottiest is the idea that the 1969 moon landing was faked.

One piece of “proof” is the “fact” that the flag the astronauts planted on the moon was blowing in the wind. But! There is no  wind on the moon! And here is video “proof”!

Here is “We Never Went To The Moon” by UFOetry, or as I like to call it, “Moon Hoax Music You Can Dance To.”

[youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn6WZf_eOvE]

This is all, of course, a load of crap. In the interest of equal time, here is a clip from the show Mythbusters debunking the flag waving business.

There’s lots more from both sides, of course. For anti-hoax material, check out the moontrue channel on YouTube. But what fun is that? Wouldn’t it be much better to have your son or daughter grow up just like Realitysurfer, who actually took the time to confront Buzz Aldrin and ask him: why should we believe that you were on the moon? Where is your proof, sir?

So if you want your kid to grow up to be a crazy person, try showing them all of this “proof.” That way you can support them financially forever! Won’t that be fun?

Jon Stewarts Attacks The Birthers

There’s a reason everybody loves this guy. Watch this.

DadNews Daily – All Cheney Edition

Big Daddy Dick Cheney got all up in then-President George W. Bush’s grill when he was trying to get the Prez to pardon Scooter Libby. I have to admit, I wonder why Dubya didn’t issue the pardon. Not because Cheney was all up in his grill (isn’t that a phrase that white people need to stop using? Yes, it is) but because… well, why wouldn’t he just do it? He did a lot of other shit. (Huffington Post)

Liz Cheney, daughter of Dick, was unwilling to say that the maniacs who believe that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States and is therefore not a citizen, or “birthers” as they are apparently called (I hate giving them a name), are nothing more than conspiracy theorists. She says that the “birthers”, or “lunatics” as I like to call them, are merely “uncomfortable” with President Barack Obama, who she says is “an American president who seems to be afraid to defend America.” She gives an example about Daniel Ortega and how the President should have reacted more strongly to his obnoxious speech, but mostly just spouts GOP Conservative Hive Mind catchphrases. James Carville, after babbling in that weird accent, eventually hits the nail on the head at the end of this video of his appearance with Lizzie C. on the Larry King Show. The video is worth watching, although it will probably make you mad. (Huffington Post)

Last Cheney item of the day: the Dick himself may have to testify in the CIA investigation. Ooo. That could be interesting. (Politico)
