That’s Slow Derek by Dan Ojari. It’s about a man who can’t keep up with the spinning of the Earth.

It reminds me of this map of our flat and stationary earth from 1893:

See those nattily dressed fellows on the right?

Stop the world, I want to get off!

I love that they’re only flying on the earth that fast ‘in their minds’. Clearly, the earth must not be moving (not just because the Bible said so, which we all know is an accurate scientific and historical document but) because we’d fly off if it was moving. And if Professor Orlando Ferguson doesn’t understand the forces at work then those forces don’t exist.

Good to know people no longer cite random passages from the Bible to defend their irrational beliefs. (And if they do, it only takes a hundred years for them to look like idiots!)

And the very geeky parody:

Taichi Saotome:

Klaus Obermaier & Ars Electronica Futurelab: Apparition

Stop motion, face paint: Each frame was hand-painted on the model’s face.

American Horror Story has a brilliant theme. It’s very Nine Inch Nails.

The opening credits are evocative, as well.

Series One

Bizarrely, there’s no opening credits sequence on YouTube of Series Two.

However.

YouTube redeemed itself by giving us, an extended (re: seamlessly repeated x 4) version.

And a dubstep remix:

Also, a very lo-fi, chill remix:

Songwriters: BYRNE, DAVID / FRANTZ, CHRIS / WEYMOUTH, TINA

I can’t seem to face up to the facts
I’m tense and nervous and I
Can’t relax
I can’t sleep ’cause my bed’s on fire
Don’t touch me I’m a real live wire

Psycho Killer
Qu’est Que C’est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
Qu’est Que C’est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

You start a conversation you can’t even finish it.
You’re talkin’ a lot, but you’re not sayin’ anything.
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.
Say something once, why say it again?

Psycho Killer,
Qu’est Que C’est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
Qu’est Que C’est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

Ce que j’ai fais, ce soir la
Ce qu’elle a dit, ce soir la
Realisant mon espoir
Je me lance, vers la gloire … OK
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they’re not polite

Psycho Killer,
Qu’est Que C’est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer,
Qu’est Que C’est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh….
