I await Brain Helmet 2.0, the death-ray version.

I still get a kick out of seeing people with Spider Jerusalem tattoos:

Isn’t this the opening of half the porno movies made in the last forty years?

Someone helpfully showed me the cover for the third in the series of those hideous Japanese bestio-fuckhorror DVDs. The title of this one is rather less inventive than the others. It is simply called THE OCTOPUS INVADES THE VAGINA AND IT HURTS. Again, the front cover (on the right of the image) is peculiarly artistic.

I imagine people are becoming inured to these by now. I still kind of want to have a memory-erasing grand mal seizure, though.

Apparently from the same series as yesterday’s piscographic find: THE WOMAN ALSO CRIES THAT THE FROG CROAKS AND IT HURTS. Obviously, I don’t have to tell you all the things that are wrong about that sentence, let alone the following image. I don’t understand, some days, why all life on earth hasn’t been wiped out already.

Don’t look, of course.

Oh, it’s going to be one of those days:

“A Japanese father has called for his own son to hang after a gruesome murder spree in which the teenager killed three family members before slashing open his mother’s belly and putting a doll inside.”

(Harpoon ships chasing Greenpeace inflatables)

It’s a DVD cover. From Japan. Its Anglicised title is THE FISH THAT HAS IS CRUNCHED AND THE WOUND IS RECEIVED. The cover is, in its own way, a spectacular piece of outsider art. Would piscography be the word? Probably not, but I don’t think anyone’s yet needed to generate a term for blood-soaked fish porn…

Don’t look.

Yes. Go, Spurt, go.
