Two bits of weirdness

[dianeduane]

One of them mine, one of them someone else's.

Mine, because I can't embed the video over here: A postwar German dairy commercial... genuinely one of the most surreal pieces of advertising I know. (With translation.)

Someone else's, and what a concept: a piece of fanfic. Four words: Tony Bourdain in Narnia. SRSLY.

The other place doesn't want to let me post, it seems, so you'll get it here. ;)

I remember the time when German private TV channels were actually pretty good, and that rainbow ball, too!
Something started nagging me when I watched that butter ad, and then I realised: They had taken the music from a then-popular song, "Ansonsten, Herr Lutter, ist alles in Butter". Originally from 1951, the only version I could youtube is this one from 1968: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT_lFgaa8Zw. Lyrics-wise, it's a lot of weird and bad things happening to Mr Lutter, but "otherwise, everything's OK".

...and now I need to get that out of my head. ;)

I will never forgive you for the Narnia link. Ever. EVER EVER EVER.

Advertising using simulations of digestion is...odd.

It is...

But your icon is cute :D

Thanks! So is yours. Feel free to gank, just credit m_cobweb, who created it.

I saved it with the creator's name in the filename so I can't forget :)

I made my icon image from the CD cover of Alan's "Hitotsu" single.

Ok, that's weird. So's the video. :) Thanks for the links. (And speaking of thanks, I finished reading the tales in Uptown Local and Other Interventions yesterday. Applause!)
