Notes from the underground

Some photos were leaked on the Internet recently of Nadya Suleman, more affectionately known as “Octomom.”

Octomom is a freak

Some photos were leaked on the Internet recently of Nadya Suleman, more affectionately known as “Octomom.” As if America didn’t already think she was repugnant and attention-starved, the photos were of her whipping some weirdo in some sort of a baby fetish photoshoot.

The photos, which were shot all over Suleman’s home, feature a tattooed “baby” being disciplined via whip by Suleman, with the baby character using Suleman’s children’s actual toys as props.

The man was later revealed to be none other than Tattoo, some radio personality who is famous down in those parts.

Once again, Octomom has shocked the nation, this time with another emotion that hadn’t been totally explored last time—shameless depravity. The very idea that she would sink to the level of lukewarm fetish porn to make more money off the tensile strength of her girly bits is shamelessness cubed. Thanks, Octomom, for giving me such strength. With people like you around, I feel like a model citizen.

“The Company Men” empowers skilless paper pushers everywhere

With millions of people losing their jobs that aren’t studio executives, Hollywood decided it was high time to release a movie about American unemployment. Hollywood’s master plan for “The Company Men” is getting out-of-work manual laborers to pay upwards of $11 to get their souls crushed, or $9 if they’re back in school, God bless ‘em.

The movie follows three characters, of which Ben Affleck is one. He plays a hotshot desk jockey who drives a Porsche and golfs all the time. And he’s a jerk. One day, he arrives at a meeting and is fired.

Boy, do things go south for Affleck quickly. He has to resort to manual labor! Why, I can’t even imagine! Obviously, the movie was written for the fraction of America who are absolutely destitute after being laid off. However, Affleck still drives his Porsche around after being fired, creating an instant disconnect between the “movie-going crowd” and the person who’s supposed to be representing them.

It only spirals out of control from there, with Affleck being reduced to mixing concrete and all other kinds of carpentry-related things. He is then playfully fired by his brother-in-law Kevin Costner, and gets himself together enough to get another job doing what he does best: driving a Porsche and dicking around on the golf course.

Of course, I haven’t seen the movie. But I have seen the trailer, and that’s pretty much how it plays out. Essentially, the message of “The Company Men” is, in no uncertain terms: “Things will get better. Especially for us! Ha!”

Death metal band Vader reverts to old logo, to the relief of four people

Ten days ago, Vader of Poland made an announcement that rocked the world of music to its core.

“We…have a surprise for our devoted fans,” said frontman Peter W. “We’re going to come back to our old logo.”

Vader fans were stoked.

What kind of artistic age are we living in where this is news? When you consider that the Renaissance happened in the 14th century and some 600-some-odd years later, this kind of stuff is happening, it makes the future loom rather grim indeed.

However, perhaps that is the point. Has Vader really planted the feather in their proverbial cap by forcing people who don’t care about Vader to consider the bleakness of humanity, in which we and Vader are included? The world is a frightening place.  ?
