I honestly don’t know what to make of this one.

This is an absurdist art piece from an ongoing project in which the artist David Livingston wears a 6’ long flaccid felt penis that he sewed and stuffed with sofa upholstery. All of his video art pieces thus far have taken place in various New York City neighborhoods.

From New York Press:

I find its childish humor appealing, and I am fascinated by my sudden transformation from anonymous pedestrian to attention-grabbing street performer. I don’t have to say a word, and it affects people in a whole host of ways. Most people either laugh or look away awkwardly. Some people are curious and want to start a conversation. Some people respond with anger. For me, the performance is about overcoming fear, but I like that it means something different to everyone who encounters me.

First there is Vernon Robinson for Congress. This is just fuckin’ terrible. He’s really trolling after the low IQ voters, isn’t he?
 

 
And then there is this one, for Diane Benson from Alaska. I think the message here is supposed to be “She’s got experience cleaning up messes” (and of course “She loves dogs!”) but they don’t really spell that out all that well and the ad goes from being merely ineffectual to actually being confusing for the viewer. Ultimately it gets no point across whatsoever.

The same cannot be said about the video below…
 

 
The problem I have with this one is simply that it doesn’t have the courage of its convictions. If he’d had the balls to portray the evil, grinning Wall Street magnate actually pissing on the little people, this man would be in office now (or at the very least have made a guest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live after a fleeting YouTube viral video success).
 
And then there is this one where the old guy forgot to take his meds, then throws a rock in the lake. What’s he supposed to be running for???
 

 
Here Mike Gravel tries gamely to explain the rock throwing video. Here he does a rap. I think he should do a duet with Ron Paul.

Who knew Louis Farrakhan was a happening Calypso singer as a young man? Before there was “Lola” or “Take A Walk On The Wild Side”  there was The Charmer’s own composition “Is She Is Or Is She Ain’t” wherein the future Nation of Islam leader grapples with gender identity politics over a festive jam. Yay ?
 

 
Bonus B-Side: “Back to Back”. A song about a zombie jamboree, natch.

Here’s a heartwarming video of a little boy trying to grasp the concept of “husbands and husbands.”

This moment was captured the day after Thanksgiving. We bought our flip cam two days before and were testing it out. We were on our way to the kitchen when Calen stopped us to ask for help washing his hands.

This 1969 IHOP ad was clearly made for a… niche audience. How they got away with such blatant psychedelic pandering is beyond me.

From Masks From Around the World:

Searching for eternal youth? Want to get rid of those unsightly wrinkles? After a thin layer of lotion is put on your face (for the contact points), the amazing Rejuvenique Anti-wrinkle Facial Toning Machine is turned on and electrical pulses send shocks into the facial muscles. This stimulation is claimed to slow or reverse the aging process of the face. A TV info commercial featuring Linda Evans sells the kit for $200.
