Bring Us A Brick Or Perhaps A Kilo

The internets is has always been this place that held strange and sometimes magical things for the world to see. Sometimes it holds awkward and perturbing material. The following applies to the latter.

So I was on youtube looking for something about New York City when I came across of this erie audition tape (see fig. A) for American Gladiators. I am not sure if this is real or not, but I was throughly disturbed and made ill. I think the reason why I am so freaked out by this video was for the fact that this is similar to the creeptastic Calvin Klein banned commericals (see fig. B) from the 1980s. Both of these "audition" tapes seem almost pornographic and yet full of sadness at the same time.

None the less I am uninspired to watch American Gladiators or buy Calvin Klein Underwear right now. But it some how has put me in the mood for a BLT and a Men In Black Neuralizer.
