On Google, I looked up the title of the film, Pyaasi Raat, and found this article on Passionforcinema:
for fuck’s sake this was shot on FILM……it went to the processing lab and they even fucking edited this……..there was a singer….someone wrote it….someone sung it…there was a studio booked for this……someone held a crew at ransom to shoot this….how the hell did anyone pull this off……i soooo want to watch the entire film…….HOW CAN I FIND IT?
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Galaxy says the second worst poetry in the universe is by Azgoths of Kria. It’s so bad that:
…during a recitation by their Poet Master Grunthos the Flatulent of his poem Ode To A Small Lump of Green Putty I Found In My Armpit One Midsummer Morning four of his audience died of internal haemmorhaging, and the President of the Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Council survived by gnawing one of his own legs off.
Grunthos is reported to have been ‘disappointed’ by the poem’s reception, and was about to embark on a reading of his twelve-book epic entitled My Favourite Bathtime Gurgles when his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save life and civilisation, leap straight up through his neck and throttle his brain.
And why am I talking about The Guide? What you’re about to see here might just make your intestine make an attempt on your life.
There will be some of you reading this from your offices where Youtube is blocked, so you will see an empty white space above this.
You can see the video on a proxy website. Just paste this link at any of these websites: 1, 2, 3, 4.
Update: A colleague asked me why I was searching Pyaasi Raat on Google. In my defense, I have to say that I decided to search for details of the film after I read its name in one of the comments on the video. I’m innocent. I don’t even have two gigabytes of porn on my laptop. God promise!
Torn is one of the songs from that fantastic debut album by Natalie Imbruglia, Left of the Middle.
The song, the video of which you can see here, is not my favourite from the album but this video based on the song that I’ve posted here is the funniest thing I’ve seen in the whole of 2006.
You can also see a lengthier version of the same mime act. But this time Natalie herself joins in the act. What a sport! I haven’t laughed this hard all year.
