    The first twenty seconds of any infomercial are a glimpse into a nightmare realm. Pensive music plays over low-res monochrome footage of miserable people, suffering from massive nerve damage or mental disability or both, struggling fruitlessly with the most simple tasks imaginable. Straining the water from a pot of noodles becomes a heroic feat comparable to Hannibal's crossing of the alps, but there are no heroes to be found. Failure is assured, and your scenery-chewing family will scorn your ineptitude.

    The vibrant color and fixed grins of the last act are a comfortable illusion. They have solved the problem of keeping a towel wrapped around themselves with their useless clublike flipper-hands, but the day has just begun. Soon, they will be required to fry eggs or remove a stain, and they are running perilously low on twenty-dollar bills. You can see the animal terror behind the eyes.

    this is beautiful

    I hope to buy three of these and get my friends and I to lie down and make a human French flag on the ground.

    In case anyone doubted how shitty Weezer is, now they have created Weezer-branded Snuggies called Wuggies.

    Like "musicians" these days learn music theory. If I showed Miley Cyrus my dodecaphonic piece that operates on both horizontal and vertical axioms she would probably be all "HEY GUYS IT'S ME MILEY CYRUS"

    Because that is about all I know about her

    to be fair, she's probably just more of a pretty face with decent pipes that they just write pop hits for

    I for one am sick and tired of towels too, but I shall propose an alternative to this farce.

    And that is, no towels! A ban on all towels. Never again will anyone suffer the pains and frustrations of these fabricated shrouds of despair.

    The alternative is of course to harness the incredible aeromatic properties of air. Simply walk out into your garden and allow the blowisonic waves of the wind and the hotmaking power of the sun to dry your body in an efficient natural way.

    Also for the full effect make sure that you are in the most visible part of your garden to allow neighbours to see how effective the.. er super naturalistic air really is.

    wrong
    the theremin is an actual instrument that requires some skill to get the sound you want out of it

    this is just like one of those cheap synthesizer keyboards everyone bought their kids back in the 80s that has all these music styles preprogrammed into them so that you can pretend you're making music, except instead of pressing keys your moving your hand through light beams

    I am now listening to this album again. I don't think I hate a single song.

    /sigh I wish they weren't so awful now.

    This thing is just a piece of plastic with infrared light that emits sound out of our laptop speakers when you break the light.

    Its almost like playing a ringtone on your cellphone and calling it art.
