Zeitgeist - The Movie

Zeitgeist is an interesting movie that makes you think about several so called "truths":



Zeitgeist was created as a non-profit filmiac expression to inspire people to start looking at the world from a more critical perspective and to understand that very often things are not what the  population at large think they are. The information in Zeitgeist was established over a year long period  of research and the current Source page on this site lists the basic sources used / referenced.


Soon, an Interactive Transcript will be online with detailed footnotes and links so exact sources and further research can be relayed.


The movie is available on Google Video, and as XVID and full resultion DVD on the downloads page.

Painful super glue accident

Captain Dan The Demon Dwarf had an unfortunate accident while preparing for one of the acts in his show where he pulls a hoover around by his private parts:




On this occasion, however, "the attachment came loose before a performance so he tried to glue it back on".


The 42-year-old misread the superglue instructions and, having allowed the adhesive a mere 20 seconds to dry rather than the required 20 minutes, duly found himself semi-permanently docked after attempting a premature test.

IKEA dog

Do you notice anything strange in this image from the IKEA 2007 catalog?


No? Have a look at the close-up of the dog. IKEA claims it is one of the feet of the dog but it looks suspiciously like someone had some fun photshopping the image and replaced the leg with something else...

I need more power, Scotty!

You might think the owner of this rubber boat hat some sort of inferiority complex, but you would be wrong.



It is a lean, mean, drug running machine with 2.000 HP. A low profile to avoid radar detection and painted gray/black to make the harder to spot from the sky. Not that being watched caused a problem (until they were finally caught) as the boat outrun everybody else with its top speed of 60 knots (111 km/h)

The worst movie video games of all time

The worst of the worst is so bad I didn't even know it existed: ET




“ET” isn’t just the worst movie video game of all time. It’s the worst video game of all time period. It’s biggest flaw? What the hell are we supposed to do? You’re Spielberg’s loveable little alien thrown into this badly-pixelated world and there’s no discernable goal or purpose.


...


This game is so bad that it’s spawned an urban legend about a mysterious landfill created just to bury the leftover unsold Atari cartridges. That’s an appropriate way to dispose of s*$&.

Stupid computer users

I do not know how many mails I have received about stupid computer users that use the CD tray as a cup holder etc. I have usually dismissed them as to stupid to be true, but I have to reconsider after someone took pictures to document the worst cases:



I used to work in the service department in a retail store of a very famous computer company (think cows...). During this time, I was able to observe (and preserve for posterity) the aftereffects of the - shall we say - "technology challenged" folks. My friends and relatives couldn't believe the stories I told - thus this collection of photos.



Priceless :-)
