Understanding 20th Century Through Indie Rock Music 101 commences Thursday mornings in the Lecture Building opposite the cafeteria. I expect to see you all there 9am sharp.
"The energy which Braco projects via the gaze is beyond the time space continuum and so it even can reach people before they come to the event".
OK, that's it. I think I'm done with the Internet. It's been fun and all but this is just too much. I'm packing my bags and heading for the nomadic wilderness.
Bye guys
Look, the argument is that reality TV is giving people a false view of reality, but if you're the kind of person who thinks that the clearly advertised ENTERTAINMENT coming out of your ENTERTAINMENT box is real life, well, let's just say you're not so much cul-tured as a cul-de-sac (I am so fucking proud of that one I'm going to start in the corner of my room and glow until I realise that if the highlight of my day is making a forced pun in the comments section of a minor media website I am just as bad as the people I am mocking)
That Peanut Butter sure got that raccoon into a Jam.

Choke, Assassination of Jesse James, Moon, even his Zaphod Beeblebrox was great. The man can do no wrong.
Honestly, I was a little sad this morning that there was another guest week. Last time it happened I read all the articles but I didn't really look forward to them in the same way as normal Videogum. It felt like a break.
I've always liked Mans as a commenter and I've always read when he's posted something lengthy and passionate and I'm glad that he's got a chance to do this in the actual articles. I'm 3/4 of the way through Infinite Jest and the interview and also the experience described here have cheered me up. It's cool to hear about your loves.
Yes, it is 1am in England. Yes I intend on staying up for the entire show so that I can make whimsical, sarcastic comments about the meaninglessness of the glorified back-slapping parade, whilst trying desperately to overlook the inherent irony of posting meaningless comments about meaningless events.
Thank you for your offer Gabe, but I think I will stick to "Bitter Singles Day", which involves a combination of the following:
- Jack Daniels Whiskey (1 litre)
- Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream (2 pints)
- Unwashed Boxer Shorts (1)
- Stained Dressing Gown (1)
- Tissues To Wipe Away Tears (Dozen)
- Tissues For... Other Purposes (Several)
In a customarily vicious and hasty response to this video, pirates worldwide are attacking Diet Coke bottles using swords, cannons and, in some isolated cases, Mentos
I think I spent the whole two weeks watching this gif

I am stuck in an existential dread that if I look away from the gif for even one second it will stop being the most adorable thing ever
"Can we confirm?"

This is why I don't like to leave Videogum. It's scary out there. I'm starting to be reminded of the part in one of the Hitchhiker's Guide books with Wonko The Sane, who puts the whole Universe in an asylum ad refers to his home as "Outside The Asylum". Videogum is outside, and thoughtful Gabe, our own Wonko The Sane, is doing to his darn best to put the whole of the rest of the Internet into a mental institution, where it belongs, with all us Monsters crowded around him, wondering how anybody manages to live outside without going mad.
The first official shot from the forthcoming Spiderman reboot received a lukewarm reception from fans, who described the new black ad white look as "TOTALLY for, like, old people and stuff, I bet my parents like this they like old people music and I hate them and there should totally, like, respect my individuality and desire to have a totally cool new Spiderman who shoots Pez instead of webs and GET OUT OF MY ROOM I'M TRYING TO COMMENT ON WE<3SP1D3RMAN.COM OH MY GOD I HATE YOU SO MUCH".
In keeping with the theme set out in "Salsa Dog Reaction Video", please find enclosed my "Glenn Beck Baby Reaction Video"
