Space Patrol 60's Sci Fi TV



The futuristic 1963 series "Space Patrol" ("Planet Patrol" in the US) was an extraordinary, but not widely distributed, puppet show set in the year 2100.

For further investigation, the ultimate Space Patrol resource is undoubtedly: http://homepages.tesco.net/~space.patrol/SpacePatrol/Home.htm .

Star Trek Internet Download Spoof





Subtitled The Continuous Franchise, this Star Trek spoof is one that rewards patience - after the opening credits (and you adjust to the voices!) then you are in for a treat. The story? Kirk, Spock et al are ordered by the Federation to intercept an enemy vessel. Their brief is to stop internet piracy and to do this they must ensure that the aliens sever their wireless connection and surrender their hard drive.





(disregard the one minute ad in the middle, the spoof continues at approx 6mins)

The story begins with a boy and his mother on a simple trip to a carnival. It quickly turns and takes you spinning on a wild ride into the heart of the jungle! Fasten your seat belt and pull the safety bar down. It's a roller coaster ride from Hell! No matter how much you scream you can't get off! Once you hand in your ticket, you hand over the deed to your very soul. Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen ... to Chapter 1 of Jazan Wild's Carnival Of Souls!

================
The creator of a graphic novel is suing NBC Universal for $50m (£40m) claiming the final series of Heroes ripped off his storyline.

Jazan Wild, real name Jason Barnes, says NBC used a carnival "virtually identical" to the ones depicted in his digital book series Carnival of Souls.

By doing so the network "knowingly, wilfully, recklessly and maliciously infringed" on his copyright, he claims.

Graffiti TV on Youtube

"PURE EVIL has a dream to create a full time GRAFFITITV Television channel with art films and documentaries and feature films about graffiti.
I am also really interested in looking at painting really closely, following the marks the artist creates as they build up a full piece from start to finish.. I love watching other artists paint and so i want to make that a big part of GRAFFITITV."

Graffiti, Art & Fear - ABC

From the ABC, 22nd March 2009

Graffiti, Art & Fear

Flight of the Conchords



Yo Frodo, what you doin' wearing the ring?
All powerful jewelry, is that your new thing?
I know it's hard when you're little more than 3 foot 4
Your little ass so close to the floor.
Trying to lead the fellows to the gates of Mordor
The Fellowship!
(Yea the fellowship)
I don't rap about bitches and hos,
I rap about witches and trolls,
just passing on the words of the Elven king,
Wisdom to all
Frodo! Don't wear the ring!

On Youtube
http://www.youtube.com



Flight of the Conchords follows the trials and tribulations of a two man, digi-folk band from New Zealand as they try to make a name for themselves in their adopted home of New York City. The band is made up of Bret McKenzie on guitar and vocals, and Jemaine Clement on guitar and vocals.

Bret and Jemaine have moved to New York in the hope of forging a successful music career. So far they've managed to find a manager (whose "other" job is at the New Zealand Consulate), one fan (a married obsessive) and one friend (who owns the local pawn shop) -- but not much else.

Monkey used to have a cult following in Australia.

Here's an entire episode. Watch for the cloud tag in part two.

Born from an egg on a mountain top
The punkiest monkey that ever popped
He knew every magic trick under the sun
To tease the Gods
And everyone and have some fun

Monkey magic, Monkey magic
