Chocolate Rain Lyrics by Tay Zonday

Chocolate Rain
Some stay dry and others feel the pain
Chocolate Rain
A baby born will die before the sin

Chocolate Rain
The school books say it can’t be here again
Chocolate Rain
The prisons make you wonder where it went

Chocolate Rain
Build a tent and say the world is dry
Chocolate Rain
Zoom the camera out and see the lie

Chocolate Rain
Forecast to be falling yesterday
Chocolate Rain
Only in the past is what they say

Chocolate Rain
Raised your neighborhood insurance rates
Chocolate Rain
Makes us happy livin’ in a gate

Chocolate Rain
Made me cross the street the other day
Chocolate Rain
Made you turn your head the other way

(Chorus)
Chocolate Rain
History quickly crashing through your veins
Chocolate Rain
Using you to fall back down again
[Repeat]

Chocolate Rain
Seldom mentioned on the radio
Chocolate Rain
Its the fear your leaders call control

Chocolate Rain
Worse than swearing worse than calling names
Chocolate Rain
Say it publicly and you’re insane

Chocolate Rain
No one wants to hear about it now
Chocolate Rain
Wish real hard it goes away somehow

Chocolate Rain
Makes the best of friends begin to fight
Chocolate Rain
But did they know each other in the light?

Chocolate Rain
Every February washed away
Chocolate Rain
Stays behind as colors celebrate

Chocolate Rain
The same crime has a higher price to pay
chocolate Rain
The judge and jury swear it’s not the face

(Chorus)

Chocolate Rain
Dirty secrets of economy
Chocolate Rain
Turns that body into GDP

Chocolate Rain
The bell curve blames the baby’s DNA
Chocolate Rain
But test scores are how much the parents make

Chocolate Rain
Flippin’ cars in France the other night
Chocolate Rain
Cleans the sewers out beneath Mumbai

Chocolate Rain
‘Cross the world and back its all the same
Chocolate Rain
Angels cry and shake their heads in shame

Chocolate Rain
Lifts the ark of paradise in sin
Chocolate Rain
Which part do you think you’re livin’ in?

Chocolate Rain
More than marchin’ more than passing law
Chocolate Rain
Remake how we got to where we are.

(Chorus)

Chocolate Rain spawned hundreds of sendups and repliy videos but the all time classic voted by our staff would have to be Chad Vader’s Version of Chocolate Rain

Photoshopping for Fun

http://shechive.com/2009/11/16/pretty-sure-these-are-shopped-20-photos/

Some great images on the page above.

Photoshopping images for purely entertainment value became more and more popular as the Internet grew and expanded.

Whole websites were dedicated to “shopping” images for fun and sendups.

This Looks Shopped – Send up of Photoshop Critics

Photoshopping as an art or editing pictures goes back almost to the time photographs were invented. Professional touch ups on pictures have been happening for centuries now.

With the advent of the Internet and software becoming available to the masses, photoshopping as an art form has reached new heights. No longer does the picture tell the story. Nowadays the picture tell what the poster wants it to tell.

Along with photoshopping came the “fake” armchair experts. Those people who know enough to be dangerous and whenever a picture appears on the Interent that is even slightly suspected to be edited, these archair experts come out in droves..

Under each image will be reply posts with comments such as

“This image is photoshopped. I can tell by the pixelation.”

With anything on the net today that has a familiar tone to it, or a catchy theme, it will be sent up, turned into a meme and spread like wildfire through the cyberworld.

“This image is photoshopped” is no exception. As soon as the armchair critics would appear to discuss the finer points of why they thought an image was shopped, pictures like the ones below would be posted in reply, sending up both the critic and the original poster of the suspect “shopped” photo.

Crasher Squirrel

Photograph

The photograph was taken by Melissa Brandts and her husband Jackson while visiting Lake Minnewanka at Banff National Park  in Alberta, Canada in May 2009. While the couple were posing on some rocks next to the lake using a camera with a wireless remote shutter release to take photos of themselves, a Columbian Ground Squirrel  began exploring the area. The squirrel stood up right in front of the lens, and the Brandts were able to capture the image of the squirrel, clearly in focus, in front of the camera.

Popularity

In August 2009, the Brandts submitted the photo to the National Geographic  weekly “Your Shot” contest in a bid to have the image included in an upcoming issue. Through this appearance, the photograph spread virally across worldwide newspapers and the Internet, popularized by such sites such as  Cute Overload.[4]

The appeal of the picture is related to both the fact that the squirrel is perfectly in-focus, and that its pose is reminiscent of the gopher from Caddyshack, with “paws held at chest level, eyes staring dead at the camera”, according to Mike Celizic of The Today Show While some questions of the photo’s authenticity were raised by Matt Lauer  Brandts was able to demonstrate that the single photo was legitimate and part of a whole set of photos that they had taken at that time.

The photo of the squirrel has since been used by the tourism board to attract visitors to the area. The Park saw a brief surge in visitors shortly following the viral spread of the image, and the board set up “Banff National Park Squirrel” and pages, using the Columbian ground squirrel as an “ambassador” to Banff. The tourism board also contacted independent developers that created social media applications around the squirrel photo to include web links back to their web site. These actions led to an estimated 82 million impressions through various forms of media within a few weeks, according to the board. Melissa Brandts has also set up her own Facebook page for the squirrel. In response to the popularity of the photo, National Geographic’s November 2009 issue will feature a “Your Shot” section devoted to readers’ photos with animals, and will feature Brandts’ photo.

The photo further became popularized by the reuse of the squirrel in other images, such as official diplomatic gatherings, family portraits, or famous works of art, as if crashing the gathering. A website, “The Squirrelizer”, was created by Graeme Hawker of Scotland to allow anyone to add the image of the squirrel to a photo; the site saw more than 130,000 hits within a week of its creation.

Badger Badger Badger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Screenshot of the video

“Badger Badger Badger”, “The Badger Song” or “Badgers” is a flash cartoon by British animator Jonti Picking. It consists of images of badgers  doing calisthenics, a toadstool in front of a tree, and a snake in the desert. Accompanied by electronic music, a voice repeats the word “badger” over the animation, breaking off to say either “mushroom” or “a snake”.

The cartoon, published 2 September 2003, loops indefinitely. The first scene contains twelve badgers; subsequent badger scenes contain eleven badgers. After a long running time, the song becomes out of sync with the animation.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badger_Badger_Badger

Myspace for the Multiple Personality Disorder

The history of successful treatment of multiple Personality Disorder has been a long and drown out process with little results over the years. In order to treat a patient, as a doctor one needs to “know” everything about the mentally challenged patient they are dealing with. The complexities and intricacies of an insane deranged mind often overtakes therapy sessions as the total lack of rationale takes over.

The difficulty has always been to actually get in touch with the various personalities and profiles locked up within one crazy mind. Up until now we have had to have long drown out couch sessions and many many hours of logged taped conversations to be able to actually get to communicate with our patients Multiple Personalities.

Conversations would be logged and eventually transcribed along the lines of the example supplied to us as follows

Doctor: Who am I speaking to now

Patient: Oh doctor, doctor give me the news…. I’m Tony here.

Doctor: Oh hello Tony, is Andy there?

Patient: oh no he is out stalking Nina at the moment. Would you like to talk to Estella?

Doctor: No, no it’s ok Tony, I’ll talk to you. Tell me how you are feeling Tony?

Patient: (higher voice) oh dear doctor, How are you? Come to talk about the facts of the case have you. I am Andy’s Lawyer you know. *Petulant high falsetto* Doctor you never called me, I had those recipes that you asked for when I was in Bermuda.

Doctor: (*sigh*) Hello Estella, I was talking to Tony, can I talk to tony again please.

Patient: (high falsetto) You want me doctor. You are obsessed with me doctor, not like that slut Laura. I had a dream about you last night.

Doctor: (*bigger sigh*) Can I please talk to Tony Estella. I need to talk to Tony.

Patient: You are a stalker Doc, even Laura says you are a stalker.

Doctor: Why would you say that Estella. I thought you liked talking to me?

Patient: (Deeper voice with heavy fake mid eastern accent) I know where you live Doctor. I am coming to put a lighted shit bomb on your front door and hunt you down. I defeceate over all of your pictures you know.

Doctor: (*groans*) oh how are you today Vindictive P, you do not sound happy.

So you get the idea. Imagine transcribing that shit. You would fall asleep after ten minutes and even after you had logged 50 hours you still would not have got anywhere.

See multiple Personality Disorder Patients are very sly and sneaky.

To be frank, just between you and me,
THEY LIE A LOT.

They also think they are smarter than the average bear so they like to trick and deceive the doctors trying to treat them. The get belligerent and non compliant which makes them very hard to treat. Most doctors just dose them up on the Anti Psychotic pills and pop them in a nice padded room in a comfy straight jacket.

All that has now changed. Professors of psychiatry at Gluthlaxton College
in the UK and the adjoining Sanatorium for the criminally insane have made a ground breaking discovery that heralds a breakthrough in the treatment of the multiple personality disorder and the criminally inane insane.

Working in close conjunction with Scientist Dirty Sally and graduates of the Open University, an elite study team has begun a world first for treatment of these poor lost souls suffering multiple splits in their personalities.

Using a patient from the Leicester Institute for the Criminally Insane who has been classified and deemed untreatable, doctors undertook an amazing new observation and treatment method which actually makes the patient do the work for the doctors and saves on hundreds of hours transcribing and interpreting well, shit.

Patient A was originally arrested naked apart from a large beige girdle around his rather flabby waist, partly submerged in his bathtub after slashing his mother to death with an empty vodka bottle after a drunken binge which caused acute liver failure in the patient.

Patient A was deemed unfit to stand trial after being classified as criminally insane and totally demented beyond repair.

The Brilliant minds of Professors Eric Brooks, Kelly Jo, Badlisa, Mayet, Linda, Belladonna, Gina Bishery and the world renowned esteemed genius, Chad360, brainstormed Patient A’s treatment and decided to set him free from the institute in a guinea pig experiment that would either make or break the team.

It made them. It made them world famous and rich beyond your wildest comprehension. It is believed that the team is under consideration for the Nobel Prize this year not only in Medicine but in Science, mathematics, Cookery and Peace too.

Patient A was weaned off his large psycho tropic drug intake and taken to a basement apartment in a dismal inner city street. Bottles of vodka and other mind altering substances were made available to patient A along with a brand New Computer System hooked up at high speeds to the Internet.

Gay porn was loaded on to the computer and “mules” were hired to cyber interact with Patient A without his knowledge of their real intentions, which was to guide Patient A into revealing the warped and twisted rotting foetid festering mess of an insane mind for the records once and for all.

The Perfect Answer and Solution to all Needs

We figured if we just gave him a myspace profile and let him run free, we would soon see the results we wanted without us having to lift a finger to do any work. He did it all for us. Easiest simpleton to fool ever” - Dr E Brooks Professor EPsychiatry.

Highly trained professional profilers contacted Patient A disguised as various young and wholesome women, who deceived the patient and slowly nudged him into creating his first Myspace profile.

The team at this stage was hopeful of complete success as they observed Patient A relax his guard and show more of his twisted personality. Not long after Patient A was encouraged by these “women” into creating fake profiles on myspace to suit his various personalities and that is when the experiment then became a run away success.

The study team just sat back and watched as patient A revealed all. At the same time Patient A was actually cataloging and recording his own lunatic behaviour by each word of vitriol he typed. The team was astounded at the interaction and insane lunacy of the various personalities that Patient A displayed. Patient A displayed an acute hatred of women, stemming from the rejection by his mother and an extreme racist, homophobic viewpoint and stance. The information that the patient revealed from a twisted deranged mind was incredible and a goldmine to the researchers involved.

The study team soon realized the jackpot they had stumbled on to and they quickly shared their experiment and observations for peer review by colleges in the USA, Canada and Australia.

A phenomena was born with Patient A being the unwitting dimwitted subject of a worldwide research joke as each different institute experimented and tested their various theories and ideas on the subject..

The results are outstanding. Just look at the madman. Myspace has allowed him to lay his twisted soul bare for all to see the inner workings of a non-rational insane mind.

The entire experiment was deemed a great success and has now been
discontinued as the researchers go onto bigger and better things.
Meanwhile Patient A is still a lost cause and the one thing that the
experiment did disclose is Patient A’s total lack of anything
positive, worthwhile or likeable.

Patient A is to be decommissioned and returned
to the factory marked as a failure at life.

Merry Christmas you twisted fuck!!
