We're Just Here To Do The Sex Offender Shuffle!
The internet is always great at providing the exception that proves the rule. The rule in this case would be "parodies of the Super Bowl Shuffle are never fun." This would be the exception using Megan's Law to its fullest comedy potential:
Good Music You Should Know About - Sunna
Sunna are a band that never seemed to get the recognition they deserved with their debut CD, One Minute Science
. Despite having a sound that could have easily given them the spot as the new Stabbing Westward
on both radio and music video stations, their best song, Power Struggle, was relegated to being the obscure song Kevin Bacon's character sings in the instant classic movie Hollow Man
. Luckily, they are back to give it another shot, this time with a music video for their new single, "One of a Twin" that can best be described as a Saw's Jigsaw-like instructional video if it were videotaped during Paranormal activity.

Episode 301 - "Since Bret Hart Can't Be Here Tonight: Licky Boom Boom Down!"
Join in on the celebration as Fair Use Law finally dings their way to level 3 and gains the gift of brand new opening and ending themes as a result! This week Randy and Dan discuss the eventual case of mental blue balls all Lost fans might suffer from, the hazards of watching a Yokozuna vs. Earthquake match, the awkwardness of 5th grade Sex Education, and how Videodrome just might be the best chest vagina movie ever made.
News broke this week that the writers for Lost just might not have the end game we thought they did. How could they possibly rectify this situation? I think taking a cue from an even bigger television franchise couldn't hurt:
Also discussed in glorifyingly corn syrup drenched detail this week was a recent viewing the Fair Use Law tribunal had of the legendary bad movie, Rikki-Oh: The Story of Rikki. Want a glimpse into its madness? Like any good pusher man, I'm here to give you a free sample before you must pay for the full thing:
For the first time ever in the history of their friendship, Dan was the first to watch an 80s sci-fi thriller before Randy not only viewed it but bought it and then watched it to death himself. This video in question? The Body Horror classic from David Cronenberg, Videodrome
, not to be confused with former Korn-produced industrial rock band Videodrone
. How freaky is Videodrome, you wonder? So freaky that, without any traditional "horror" tropes, it actually reached #4 on Bravo's Even Scarier Movie Moments chart:
What's more troubling for a poor 5th grader than finding out that they are starting to provide sex education with your class as soon-to-know-too-much guinea pigs? Having to sit through an episode of Snick's classic variety/sketch comedy show Roundhouse ABOUT Sex Ed with your parents anywhere near the TV:
And lastly, a very special embed is about to arrive. It's not often we can share with you a full, classic main event of classic 1994 Monday Night Raw. But this week we discussed Earthquake facing Yokozuna in a classic battle of the Super Heavyweights via the only means possible: Sumo! Thankfully someone put the entire she-bang on YouTube for you to enjoy. Like all WWF/WWE links, I can't promise this will be up forever, but please to enjoy a lost gem from the Fair Use Law mid-90s Time Capsule while you can:

Video Game Music Sorbet - Mega Man: The Power Battle
With this week's release of Mega Man X on the WiiWare network (PS3 and Xbox versions coming out this week!) and recent news that Bass will be available soon as a playable character through DLC, what better way to sit back on a Saturday afternoon in our Wily cosplay outfit and pop the top off a few E-tanks and relax to the soothing beat of the ultra rare Mega Man fighting game, the Power Battle, one of the first games that allowed you to pick between playing as Mega, Proto Man, or Bass:
City of Doves Flying Out Of Everyone's Sleeves
Ever want to be in a John Woo movie? Ever want to be in a John Woo movie about punching aliens and nazis in the face with dual welding bulletfists? Well, if you pre-order the new City of Heroes expansion pack, Going Rogue, you get access to a new powerset right this second: Dual Pistols!
Pork and Ammunitions Never Had It So Good
Do you like bacon? Do you like shooting people in the face? Also, do you like Team Fortress 2 only you wished it took place in a hyper-futuristic arena that would make Smash TV look like that Rollerball remake? Well then, I have two gifts for you: Monday Night Combat and its new bacon crisper/ammo casing, the AmmoMule. The game is coming out later this year on Xbox 360, so get your pork fat smoked now in anticipation.
Good Music You Should Know About - The Disco Biscuits
One of the benefits of having MTVu on my digital cable channel listing isn't just their awkwardly low-rent ABC Newsbreaks in between commercial breaks. No, often times you get bombarded with shapes, colors, and sounds. Roughly 95% of the videos shown by this MTV spin-off are weird indie band who exploit animation or retro irony to get their video play. The other 5%? Pure genius that exploit animation and retro irony, like Disco Biscuits' "You And I" which also has the benefit of featuring the (I have to assume true) story of a lonely Japanese salaryman:
