Hamilton’s Invaders

Hamilton's Invaders

Hamilton’s Invaders were a toy series in the 1960s where blue army men fought giant bugs with movable parts. They were inspired by the 1950s giant insect movies, which by that point had begun their long foray into reruns on tv. In addition to the giant bugs, you could also get a Hamilton’s Invaders helmet and grenade gun to wear while you play, for total immersion or something.

The main giant bug was Horrible Hamilton – a large green bug with legs that moved when it rolled. There were additional bugs – Spooky Spider and Gruesome/Brutal Beetle – along with smaller nameless bugs. The blue army men (called Blue Defenders) were meant to represent the United Nations, because only the combined might of the world’s armies could defeat Horrible Hamilton and his bug crew!

Why are we talking about Hamilton’s Invaders? Because the helmet wore by the Golden Skeleton gang in Golden Skeleton is the Hamilton’s Invaders helmet with a gold skull glued on top of it! B-movie inspired, B-movie used.

Your daily dose of WTF puppet wuxia – Pili Bing Xian: Conquest of the Middle Land (問鼎天下)

Here is something awesome that I stumbled across on YouTube, filled with puppets kung fuing the living crap out of each other. This has the highest bodycount of a puppet show I’ve ever seen. Basically, it’s like The Lost Crystal meets Chinese Opera meets kung fu. What is below is clips of episodes 39 and 40 (the latest two, I believe), but there are plenty of full episodes online at this tudou account. This is Pili Bing Xian:Conquest of the Middle Land (問鼎天下) The blog pilicreateworld has a ton of information about this series. In Chinese.

Christopher Hsu is the guy in the scandal with Miss Korea 1995 Han Sung-Ju 한성주

Taiwanese-American businessman Chris Hsu (Christopher Chung-Yi Hsu) has been identified as the mystery man in the now infamous leaked “sex tape” with Miss Korea 1995 Han Sung-Ju. He is the mysterious Person B, while Person C has been identified as a Korean-American female friend of his who is helping translate everything into Korean. Christopher Hsu has filed a lawsuit against Han Sung-Ju for kidnapping, but he’s being sued by Han Sung-Ju over defamation of character. This is becoming a clusterfrak of epic proportions, where the only winners will be lawyers and people who like to watch bad sex tapes. Since Chris Hsu is Taiwanese, this has also lead to some hilarious ultra-nationalistic posts on a few Korean boards I read. But since Han Sung-Ju’s pictures are plastered all over the place, turnabout is fair play, and now Christopher Hsu will be splattered all over the internet.

Miss Korea 1995 Han Sung-Ju 한성주 – the latest Korean Sex Scandal

There is a hilarious and confusion sex scandal happening in South Korea at the moment involving a bunch of alphabet letters, sex tapes, the mob, leaked medical records, abortions, urinating on laptops, and “he said, she said” tall tales. So here is what we know, as far as we can tell. Things may be wrong, but what are you going to do:

Han Sung-Ju (한성주 sometimes Han Sung-Joo), Miss Korea 1995, has turned that beauty queen prize into a career in media, namely being a tv star. She is totally not related to the person the Korean media are dubbing Celebrity A. So don’t get any ideas. Wink. There is also Individual B (Celebrity A’s ex-boyfriend) and Individual C (some dude uploading these things to the net)

At some point Celebrity A dated a Korean-American businessman named Individual B. They had a normal relationship where he gave her tons of money to buy all sorts of crap and new boobs, and also abortions. Then he dumped her, so she went nuts and had some mobsters beat him up and made him sign a NDA in his own blood. So Individual B is mad, and gives Individual C a bunch of stuff to release on the internet, including her passport, medical records, and photos and videos of A and B getting it on. The first video was short, but rumor has it more has hit the net. As you can guess, this has caused a media circus of hilarity, especially since everyone keeps using the Celebrity A name. We will all soon learn that ABC isn’t as easy as 123.

Facing so many obvious jokes for this caption, I choke and end up using none.

Beavis and Butthead – Supersize Me and Bathroom Break

Beavis and Butthead

Supersize Me
The boys discover Morgan Spurlock and his documentary Supersize Me, largely because he has a hot babe with him at a premiere. So they decide to eat nothing but Burger World food for 30 days. They gain more and more weight, while Mr. Van Driessen gets them a documentary crew following them, and various corporate CEOs run tricks to not get blamed for the epic obesity.

Riffs:
Teen Cribs – WTF? never heard of this show. Rich bratty kids show off their place, the boys confused and think it’s Teen Mom.
Jersey Shore – Snooki’s dating preferences lead to much mockery, and their own lists

Bathroom Break
Butthead discovers that he got paid to poop when he was in the restroom, so the boys spend all their time at work in the restroom, as the Burger World slowly devolves into chaos.

Riffs:
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros – Kisses over Babylon – The discussion turns to Jesus, and the audience pefering to get shot than to listen to the song
