Michael Moore calls capitalism "evil"; ALSO "Miley Cyrus is not Hitler" (plus Ellen Page's new movie, and A Daxflame Moment in History)

Alright, kids, put on your thinking caps, because we have a lot to cover in today's blog.  Umm, wait, where are you going??..PLEASE, just hang on and read this delightful article, because I assure you, you will learn a great deal.  I will tell you everything you need to know that's been going on in the world and the blogosphere, and not a milligram more.  Let's hit it.

Well, Michael Moore has finally gotten a chance to make his masterpiece...the zenith of a lifetime of being "the greatest artist, agitator, poet, fighter, genius, radical of our time."  Oh, wait, what the hell am I talking about...that's what they said about Bob Dylan.  (SEE Funguzz Vizzion: "I'm Not There" directed by Todd Haynes (Part 1) and Funguzz Vizzion: "I'm Not There" directed by Todd Haynes (Part 2))  But, anyway, the point is Michael Moore has finally put together the mother of all anti-establishment documentaries called "Capitalism: A Love Story", and it's coming up against some fierce resistance.


Needless to say, this is all kind of a big deal.  In an interview Moore did on the streets with a CNN reporter, the director expressed some very interesting opinions on the direction that he believes our democracy should go.  In a nutshell Moore believes democracy rules, and capitalism drools.  He says that contrary to popular belief, change can happen very quickly, citing how fast the Berlin Wall came down, and the rise to power of figures like Nelson Mandela and Barack Obama.  Moore also has some interesting views on copyright laws, saying that art is something that should be shared as much as possible, and doing so with fewer legal restrictions is not only beneficial to the fans, but the artist as well.  See: YouTube - Michael Moore Interviewed by CNN at Wall Street's "Charging Bull" Sc

These and other news events once again led renegade economist Mad Max Keiser to call for a worker's revolution from his underground bunker in Paris.  "A group of individuals have taken it upon themselves to bankrupt the state, and they deserve to be punished in the harshest possible terms, and I do not rule out decapitation!" says Max.  See: YouTube - Mad Max Keiser "Decapitate the Bankers!"

Wow wee! If you think that interview was tense, you should also see Michael Moore's interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer promoting his new documentary See: Michael Moore has his way with Wolf Blitzer again - Democratic Underground  Ouch, take it easy, Mike.  He's Wolf Blitzer...not Hitler!

O.k., I kinda stole that Hitler line from prodigious youtube commentator JohnnySmooth.  Mr. JohnnySmooth is a youtube vlogger, not to mention an artist, a genius, and a mastermind of the highest order.  Recently, the mighty youtube featured a video of Miley Cyrus promoting her new clothing line at Walmart, which was met with an astonishing amount of  invective, and vitriol from the riff raff in the youtube peanut galleries. (See:
YouTube - Leave Miley Cyrus Alone. She is not Hitler. -BE FOREWARNED,...THERE IS SOME VERY, VERY STRONG LANGUAGE IN THIS VID.  SO IF THAT WILL MAKE YOUR EARS BLEED PLEASE DON'T CLICK ON THE LINK.  THANK YOU.)  Luckily JohnnySmooth was available to courageously defend Miss Cyrus.  "...some of these hateful comments she's (Miley's) been getting.  It's just sickening!" says Mr. Smooth.  An example of some of these despicable comments directed at Miss Miley Cyrus include "Tie a rope around your neck, hang yourself from your ceiling fan, and turn it on." and "I was dating Miley Cyrus for like a year, and we was gonna get married. But one day she farted, so I broke up with her and never saw her again."  And that was only what I was able to print.  My, my...what kind of world do we line in, folks?  Not a good one...not a good one.

Now for something completely different.  It seems that Michael Moore's new capitalist pig bashing documentary is not the only interesting movie headed for a theater near you.  Drew Barrymore's directorial debut is just your standard high school beauty queen becomes a roller derby enthusiast comedy, and appears to be just entertaining enough to eventually get me off my skinny butt into my local Lackluster Video Store (when it comes out on DVD).  Ok, let's learn a litte bit more.  See the trailer below for "Whip It":



Which segways us right into our next segment:

NIFTY SONG LYRICS OF THE DAY

Today's nifty song lyrics are from Jim Croce's 1973 classic "Roller Derby Queen."




Gonna tell you a story that you won't believe
But I fell in love last Friday evenin'
With the girl I saw on a bar room TV screen

Well I was just gettin' ready to get my hat
When she caught my eye and I put it back
And I ordered myself a couple o' more___shots 'n' beers

The night that I fell in love with a Roller Derby queen
Round and round, oh round and round
The meanest hunk o woman that anybody ever seen
Down in the arena
(See YouTube - Jim Croce - Roller Derby Queen (Live) [16:9])

Alright, stop asking me "are we there yet?" because we're almost finished.  Now for our final segment of the day...

A MOMENT IN DAXFLAME HISTORY

Today we remember a youtube video which has fast become legendary (at least as far as I'm concerned).  It is a vid posted by EclecticAsylumArt to announce the People's Choice winner in Eclectic Asylum Art's "Strike A Pose" Portrait Contest.  The winner, young Daxflame, had the honor of having his portrait painted with chocolate syrup, and a spoon in place of a paint brush.  A work of art so brilliant it makes Andy Warhol's "32 Campbell's Soup Cans" look like...uhh..a bunch of Campbell's Soup cans.  Here it is:

 


Well, that will conclude another exciting trek through the blogosphere at http://jviz.blogspot.com/.  Once again, God bless you, and thank you for your support.

Obama Supports Mandate (maybe) but opposes rudeness, American Idol feud (Ellen vs. Simon), Megan Fox wears a bag, Michael Jackson's new movie, Lady Gaga's "Poker Face", (also "Big Man Japan" movie review)

In an interview with ABC's George Snuffleupagus, err I mean Stephanopoulos (err. you know who I'm talking about), President Obama was drilled on whether a mandate requiring people to purchase health insurance (also see Funguzz Vizzion: Obama's Healthcare Reform Address: A Brief Synopsis) was actually a huge tax increase on the middle class, which would break a campaign promise. Obama said "No, George", but for some reason, George glossed over the fact that Obama supporting the mandate in the first place was violating a campaign promise, but WHATEVER...(see the video below posted by PoliticsNewsPolitics at youtube)



This and other unfortunate news events prompted renegade economist Max Keiser to call for a worker's revolution from his underground bunker in Paris. See the important video below:
(posted by presstv2009 at youtube)
In related political news, Obama may be supporting the mandate, but he has courageously come out against "rudeness." (see Obama Rips TV News for Making Rudeness the Road to Stardom -- Politics Daily) "I think it's important for the media -- you know, not to do any media-bashing here -- to recognize that right now, in this 24-hour news cycle, the easiest way to get on CNN or FOX or any of the other stations, MSNBC, is to say something rude and outrageous," Obama tells the press.

(see also: Funguzz Vizzion: Obama on Kanye West, Ellen on Idol, ABBA on school bus beatin)

Joining President Obama in the battle against meanies is new American Idol judge Ellen DeGeneres, who is going to try to force chief justice Simon Cowell to make the show "kinder" and "gentler."


"When Simon is rude and mean, I'll tell him he's rude and mean, just like I tell him on my show that he's rude and mean," says Ellen. (see NO IDOL THREAT - ITS WAR! - Celebrity News Gossip - National Enquirer) Well, that sounds like a pungent recipe for some nauseatingly good entertainment if you ask me.

In related celebrity news, in an effort to refute criticism from the peanut gallery that she is a mean b, i, t you know what else (seeYouTube - Megan Fox is a NASTY B*TCH!!! - Serena Williams DIVAS OUT at US Open), Megan Fox was a good sport and agreed to do an interview with a bag over her head. (See video below posted by national lampoons video at youtube)




Well, I hope this doesn't set a bad precedent in which Megan Fox is required to do all kinds of outlandish things just to prove to America she is not a big jerk. Like for example, "Hey Megan, would you mind balancing a meatball on your nose during the rest of this press conference while monkeys throw cheetos at you?" I mean, the girl could get some sort of complex or something.


In some happy news for Michael Jackson fans, there was some footage leaked of an upcoming movie featuring footage of recent Michael Jackson rehearsals called "This is It." Apparently reports that Michael Jackson could no longer sing because of a lung disease were utterly false, as you can see in this vid below, his singing was fantastic:

MOVIE REVIEW OF THE DAY

Well, dear friends, while strolling through my local Lackluster Video store I came across this crazy movie about a down on his luck quasi-super hero who works for the Department of Monster Protection, protecting Japan from all sorts of hideous monsters...for example, the dreaded "stink monster" which emits a foul odor "equivalent to 10,000 human feces." (see: EXCLUSIVE CLIP: ‘Big Man Japan’ Takes On… The Stink Monster!)


Here ya go. See the trailer down here:

Umm... it's pretty good.

NIFTY SONG LYRICS OF THE DAY

Despite the Kanye West-Taylor Swift fiasco, Lady Gaga was still able to garner some attention for herself at the recent MTV VMA's. Gaga is extremely talented, though her diva-esque image seems akwardly out of place in a time of economic downturn, and her flamboyance has earned her some vocal critics. (see what these 2 chatter boxes at theyoungturks have to say about it if you like YouTube - Lady GaGa & Her Silly Outfits - Has She Gone Too Far??)


(posted by InterscopeGeffenAM at youtube)

But anyway, the nifty song lyrics...in Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" at around 1:29 in this vid..."Russian roulette is not the same without a gun...and baby when it's love if it's not rough it isn't fun." Please commit that to memory.


Well, that's ends another thrilling day at http://jviz.blogspot.com/. Once again, God bless you, and thank you for your support.

Obama on Kanye West, Ellen on Idol, ABBA on school bus beatings

Well, in a country where no one can seem to agree on anything, Kanye West seems to have united us all... Unfortunately for him, he has united us in agreement that he is a big, stupid jerk. Everyone is weighing in on this. Here is what some of our important celebrities have said on this burning social issue:

"Kanye west is the biggest piece of sh-t on earth. " Pink.Pink: 'Kanye West Is The Biggest Piece Of Sh*t On Earth' - GIGWISE
"“F**K U KANYE. IT’S LIKE U STEPPED 0N A KITTEN!" Katy Perry.Katy Perry at The MTV VMAs — Picture Showbiz Spy - celebrity news, rumors &
"What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough??... Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal??... You can have mine if it will shut you up.I just pity you because you’re a sad human being." Kelly Clarkson.Kelly Clarkson: Kanye West Is A Sad Human Being The Celebrity Truth
"Kanye West should be banned from awards shows." Joe Jackson.Michael Jackson - Joe Jackson: 'Kanye Should Be Banned From Awards Shows' - Co
"Kanye West is a gay fish." Trey Parker and Matt Stone the creators of South Park (see:South Park: Kanye West Is a Gay Fish Comedy Central Insider Blog)

Even the President of the United States has let his feelings be known...

"He's a jackass!" President Barack Obama.

(Update: video footage of the interview via CNN YouTube - VIDEO Of Obama Calling Kanye West A "Jackass")

In other insane news Ellen Degeneres has filled Paula Abdul's vacated seat on American Idol for some reason. I have not been this baffled since they hired Dennis Miller as a color commentator on Monday Night Football. Shouldn't they hire someone who knows something about singing perhaps? And why would they hire Ellen when Daxflame is available and willing. See below video of Daxflame aka Bernice Juach:


In some more horrible news, there is a video of a school bus beating circulating around the internets. But luckily this sad story ends with some hope for the human race, as a good Samaritan on the bus courageously intervenes to help the child being bullied. (See: YouTube - Beatdown Bust 'The Early Show' Video Morning Rush)

Which leads us to our "song of the day." Today we will be remembering ABBA's very uplifting "He Is Your Brother" generously posted by 2Shaymcn at youtube:


"He Is Your Brother" (full lyrics)

I was a fighter always looking for trouble
And my life was so empty, there was nothing left to live for
But then it happened one night as I got into a fight
I could hear someone saying as though he was praying
Ah-a-ah-a-a-a-ah-ah

Treat him well, he is your brother
You might need his help some day
We depend on one another
Love him, that's the only way
On the road (on the road) that we're going
We all need (we all need) words of comfort and compassion
Treat him well, he is your brother
Love him, that's the only way

I was a woman never thinking of others
And my life was so lonely, didn't care for anybody
But then I happened to meet a begging man in the street
As I turned down his praying I heard someone saying
Ah-a-ah-a-a-a-ah-ah

Treat him well, he is your brother (brother)
You might need his help one day (he's your brother)
We depend on one another (brother)
Love him, that's the only way
On the road (on the road) that we're going (that we're going)
We all need (we all need) words of comfort and compassion
Treat him well, he is your brother (brother)
Love him, that's the only way.

Treat him well, he is your brother (brother)
You might need his help one day (he's your brother)
We depend on one another (brother)
Love him, that's the only way

Did Michael Jackson Fake His Death? (also Daxflame found alive; the Demon Lord Picklejar, and Chris Humphrey still missing)

During his life, Michael Jackson, pop music superstar, and a genius of the highest caliber, often spoke of the "horrible, HORRIBLE mass media" and it's diabolical efforts to exploit him at every turn. Well, it looks as though the gosh darn media just won't stop doggin' him around with the latest hoax which briefly gave a glimmer of hope that the King of Pop was still with us. (See B96 Blog » Blog Archive » Michael Jackson Walking Out of Coroner’s Van??? )



The video in question seems to be footage of Michael Jackson being escorted, still very much alive, from a coroner's van. To paraphrase the Demon Lord Picklejar, the grand archduke of hell in the Service of Satan (more about him in a bit),...the amateur journalist would stop there, and say, "There it is! Michael Jackson is still alive! We have video footage of the King of Pop still alive. That's all we need. Let's run with it." Yes, that's what the AMATEUR journalist would say... But NO, the journalistic EXPERT goes on...and leaves no stone left unturned in order to find out the real truth. As it were, this video was quickly revealed to be a HOAX! (See:Hoax Video Seems To Show Michael Jackson Climbing Out Of Coroner's Van digtr ) "A hoax video that seems to show Michael Jackson climbing out of a coroner's van was an experiment aimed at showing how conspiracy theories can spread across the Internet. The video was posted by the German broadcaster RTL for just one day and got 880,000 hits. A spokesman for RTL says the response was breathtaking." It appears we were being used as guinea pigs, in a little experiment being conducted by German scientists (who also are given credit for inventing the x-ray specs sold in comic books, and most of the stuff seen in late night info-mercials). Apparently, these experimenters wanted to show how quickly we gullible humans would gobble up a juicy bit of conspiratorial gossip, and make goofs of ourselves. Those Germans certainly showed us, didn't they! But I digress...

Now that I've dashed your hopes to Hell, by proving that Michael Jackson unfortunately is still dead, I am going to raise them right back up to Heaven! Daxflame, youtube hero of gigantimous proportions and genius of the highest caliber, who has been mostly missing in action the past several months, is BACK, starring in a video produced by The Station. If you don't know what The Station is, it appears that some of the most powerful FORCES at youtube have...umm, joined FORCES, to create a youtube channel that is proving to be an ummm..mighty FORCE. If you thought that last sentence was redundant you'd be right; but if you thought Daxflame's 15 minutes of fame were up, you would be very, very wrong, you fool... Because this new Daxflame vehicle is entitled "A Day in the Life of Daxflame", and it is all about him, although appearances are also made by Kassem G, and the stunningly beautiful Lisa Nova.



So why was Daxflame in hiding? Was he really working on a motion picture?

Or was he hiding from this creature? His name is Lord Picklejar, the demon from Hell who invented youtube, and a genius of the highest caliber. (See YouTube - Great Lectures in Evil for more information.)

ColPicklejar's first youtube vid was this response to Dax's vid "Daxflame Torture Chamber" and is intimidating to say the least. "I saw this kid the other day...Daxflame??? He's weird! He's a weird kid!" Picklejar furiously bloviates. "Daxflame, you are disturbing the natural order of things, and ruining MY vision. As you can see I am upset.. (But) youtube will be evil again!.. (Daxflame) your days are numbered! The end is near! In the name of Evil!!! In the name of Satan!!! I will make it happen!!!" Now, such a devilish proclamation would frighten even someone very brave like...umm, well I don't know... Who's brave? An Eskimo? Ok, an Eskimo. Such a devilish proclamation would frighten even the bravest Eskimo, much less a sensitive actor, and performance artist like Daxflame. See the video below, and see what I am talking about here, people:


But strangely, Lord Picklejar has also seemingly disappeared from youtube, not making a video since March that I am aware of. And he is not the only one...

We also have the curious case of Chris Humphrey, a youtube political commentator, and a genius of the highest caliber (See YouTube - cwajh's Channel) . Chris rocketed to youtube fame when one of his political videos was featured on the front page of youtube. (See Funguzz Vizzion: Chris Humphrey Gives Us Answers) Whether this was a blessing or a curse remains to be seen, as Chris Humphrey only made one more video, and then vanished at a very inopportune time...the run up to the 2008 presidential election. The absence of Chris Humphrey's political commentary at such a crucial juncture in our nation's history was enough to make his fans like me want to throw up. Luckily, many of Chris's remarks (not only on politics but on other burning issues) have been preserved in memoriam on youtube, like in this video posted by rebeccaandmarlon in which Chris answers the question "What is art?"


Now at this point you are probably saying, "Why are you telling us these things, Jimmy Fungus?? Ok, the Michael Jackson hoax story was interesting, and the Daxflame video was funny..but why segway into ColPicklejar, and Chris Humphrey? Why?? In God's name why???"

Well, I don't know the exact parameters of the reach or power of this blog (though I have been getting some pretty substantial hate mail from New Zealand), but I would like to suggest that you, the gentle reader of http://jviz.blogspot.com/, go to ColPicklejar and Chris Humprey's repsective youtube accounts (AGAIN SEE: YouTube - ColPicklejar's Channel, YouTube - cwajh's Channel) and ask,..no DEMAND, that they come back and start making videos again. And please, tell your friends, family, co-workers, and reasonably articulate pets, to do the same.
