Awesome or Off-Putting: Mexican Farmer Drowns Cute Baby Alien
Awesome or Off-Putting is a weekly delve into cryptozoology, ufology, aliens, medical marvels, scientific wonders, secret societies, government conspiracies, cults, ghosts, EVPs, ancient artefacts, strange facts, odd sightings or just the plain unexplainable. The problems with monsters, ghosts and aliens is that, sure - people see them - but there usually are no pictures to prove it. Sometimes a few frames get snapped off - but the blurry image in the distant background is rarely convincing of anything. Imagine then, how shocked modern scientists must be as they examine an actual 'baby alien' body that was drowned by a scared Mexican farmer in 2007.

Awesome Or Off-Putting: Jack-in-Irons

Poor Jack - stuck in those irons. Irons, of course, meaning chains in this case. And why, you may ask, is he stuck in chains? Well some would argue it's because at some point in his life he'd been incarcerated. Did we mention that he's now a giant that haunts old, lonely English roads? Or that his chains are adorned with severed human heads?

World Contraception Day, Or What I Did On My Holidays
Hello kids, Stu here. Two quick things - number one: thanks to the ever-wonderful Shawn Lindseth for manfully editing the old 'spray last week. Aw, he's great isn't he? Number two: I was away because I'm helping out with this year's World Contraception Day. Apparently being ugly and smelly and compulsively anti-social aren't the only ways to avoid getting girls pregnant. Who knew? Anyway, if you want to know more about World ...
MySpace Trawl – Nedry
We seem to have neglected the wonderful world of glitch recently. To a lot of people, it sounds like a needle has been dragged across a record and the results recorded. We like the sound of something that sounds a bit raw, uncommercial and generally exciting. Fuck your cleanly polished studio sounding production where the vocal goes through seventy two filters to make it sound as clean as a whistle. Going through various stages, there is everything here from Nedry. Sassy sounding vocals go alongside the sweeping sounding electronics that slowly build momentum before crashing in to one final rhythm.

Read/Watch Some Wonderful Cartoons, Suckas
When Shawn Lindseth isn't guest editing hecklerspray he's making sure orphans the world over have decent clothing and a roof over their heads. That's just the kind of guy he is. And when he's not doing that he's selling illegal animal pelts on the black market. Speaking of which - if you're interested in a bathrobe made of zebra skin/skull combo, make yourself heard down in the comments section. As a possible sale point - the tongue helps dry your hair. And when he's not doing any of that - he fancies himself a cartoonist. On the next page you'll see just why.

Look, we know we've started Facebook pages before only to quickly forget that they even exist, but this time there's a strong chance that it'll be different.
