  Freaktacular

  General, Paranoia

  Since my childhood I had a passion for weird-ass creatures, like bug-eating plants (I owned several venus fly-traps, Nepenthes and Pinguicula. Sadly none of them lived very long) or spiders. But due to the blessings of the interwebs, I have broadened my horizon since — in favor for even weirder critters!
  Here’s my rundown of freaktacularly scary videos that I would have died for as a child:

  WTFish

  You say fish ain’t scary? Well, in your sissy, knee-high water world probably not, but wait ‘til you get deep enough! Everyone knows the poster-childs of the deep sea, dumb looking tubes with fins on one end and hideous jaws on the other, sometimes adorned by a cute glowing lantern. But what about the jelly headed barrel eye¹?

  Seriously, those 180°+ eyes look directly into your soul!

  Happy Halloween

  Paranoia

  Well, it is halloween again. One of these “holidays” that people use as a rather sad excuse to dress up and show everyone how unassured they are about their gender. Although an oversea import, this custom gets shoved down our throats every year and forcefed to society in the name of ye glorious cultural exchange.

  But I guess nowadays it is considered cooler to crave inspiration by other cultures than to celebrate one’s own. When I was ten, I don’t remember anyone around here celebrating halloween at all. Then again, I was probably too drunk to notice.

  The Big Brother behind your eyes.

  Paranoia

  

  Everyone connects 1984 with cameras, controlled by the government, that look at you at every moment. Well I don’t think 1984 is about that. Or well, yes, but, as I read it, I saw another more important message in it.
