Nude Lady Near Oscilloscope
As a content wrangler for video aggregator Frequency, I have found myself plumbing the depths of the internet in an even deeper capacity than in my Mep post searchings. And, occasionally I come upon nuggets that simply aren’t appropriate for a professional wrangler to be recommending to his new employers. So, I think that my Mep forays are about to get a little darker and weirder, as I refuse to let these strange pieces languish in total obscurity.
Our first treasure in the NSFW archive is called “Vacuus Numb.” Its characters’ paralysis induced by the nearby flickering box, is probably some kind of media consumption critique. As it stands, I mostly see Irresistible French Existentialist Artsy Weirdness.
The Call to Mars
While I’m always susceptible to any video that has been auto-tuned, this one, in particular, strikes a chord.
It seems inevitable that our species’ faculties of curiosity and a sense of manifest destiny will lead us to settle off of Earth eventually. However, the longer we wait to plant the seed of humanity elsewhere, the longer we will have all of our eggs in one basket. And that basket is an increasingly dangerous one to linger in…

Twilight Affinity Explained
If you thought you were the only one wondering why Twilight has become a cultural phenomenon, despite the fact that it is a work about glittering, vegetarian, self-loathing vampires, look no further. This explains quite a bit.
Say ‘Hebbo’ to Tarvuism
Tarvuism is the newest life-solving, octopus befriending, super-power unleashing belief system on the block. Needless to say, I will be looking into their Octopus-Intensive Weekend Retreat as soon as possible. And also am wondering about any potential affiliation with the Ramtha School or Enlightenment or the Pastafarians. All three groups seem to have an affinity for tentacles.
Host Monsters
This is one of the best animated music videos I’ve ever seen. It reminds me of an enviro-themed Aeon Flux. This magnificence was produced by the Waltzing Monkey.
