Some guy has uploaded 180 videos of flushing toilets to YouTube. What are we supposed to think? Weirder still is that he currently has 75 subscribers, toilet flushing fans all.
He assures us he’s a consummate professional:
I’m a big toilet fan, have been one ever since I could remember. I’m not going to say all of my videos are perfect there may be a little no. 1 or toilet paper in the toilet, but NO no.2.

On the internet, the keytar is alive and well. Urlesque has rounded up the best keytar solos to prove it.

The wide angle shots. The overwhelming ennui. Unrequited love and suicidal longing. Primary colors and dry humor. The slow-mo sequence with accompanying glam rock.
Titled stills with twee Mark Mothersbaugh instrumental accompaniment. These are some of Wes Anderson’s directorial cliches, but we love him for them.

At first, it was just an innocent game, but now it’s gone viral and you won’t be able to get it out of your head.Robot Unicorn Attack is an addictive little Flash game on the Adult Swim site. It was cloned from a better game called Canabalt, but pumped up with enough unicorns and rainbows that you’ll think you’re on acid.

They’re having a field day with this song on 4chan’s videogame-themed image board, /v/, and related websites, posting a bunch of Rageguy-like drawings of people getting angry at Robot Unicorn Attack and then getting sucked into an Always-induced happy trance. Instead of shouting FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU!, now we’re all living in harmony, harmony, oh love!
