Y-Control
Via: VideoSift
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, in addition to being one of my new favorite bands, has but together a profoundly creepy video falling to the lurkiness most images of creepiness take. The song also rocks.

"Hi" by Psapp
Music videos keep getting more interesting. Take a look at this stop motion video by Psapp, as well as "Human Centipede" by Socalled:
Natural Born Liars
From the article:
Deception runs like a red thread throughout all of human history. It sustains literature, from Homer's wily Odysseus to the biggest pop novels of today. Go to a movie, and odds are that the plot will revolve around deceit in some shape or form. Perhaps we find such stories so enthralling because lying pervades human life. Lying is a skill that wells up from deep within us, and we use it with abandon. As the great American observer Mark Twain wrote more than a century ago: "Everybody lies ... every day, every hour, awake, asleep, in his dreams, in his joy, in his mourning. If he keeps his tongue still his hands, his feet, his eyes, his attitude will convey deception." Deceit is fundamental to the human condition.

The Mafia Wants A Piece Of Christmas Day!
Today you’re going to set up your trees in the parking lot, officially launching the Christmas season. Not long after you stack the last tree for display, the mafia will come into the lot and set all your trees on fire. Then they’ll tie you up in garland, stuff a Christmas ball in your mouth, and stick an angel to the top of your head with duct tape. They’ll tie you to a signpost by the street so that everyone can see you wrapped up like a human Chistmas tree with the fires rising behind you. That’ll let everyone who sees you know that no one sells Christmas trees in this town unless the mafia says so...
