Weekend Worstoff 206

Posted on June 23, 2012 by AHC McDonald

With the recent bunny rabbits on buildings controversy in mind, I shot some dolphin building decos in Dalian nth China.
Natalia Fan#1 said welcome back from China with a picture of Balcatta. Thanks mate. Just what I was missing.
HERB feels that this “mental vandalism” ad appears to be throwing aboriginal culture in the bin. Poignant. And Midland talking about mental vandalism..?
David M saw evil demon reanimator fruit in Bali.

Glock

Posted on June 21, 2012 by AHC McDonald

One from I Clavdivis that brer Bento didn’t get to. I Clavdivis says,

“We went down to the Whalesong Festival in Augusta this weekend. Nice family event, kiddies singing and dancing, Viral Youtube sensation Deb “Spoons”Perry” playing her cutlery, Oldies from the aged care facility all smiling and laughing…

Suddenly someone notices that the six year olds are using their newly developed grasp of the written word to repeat this guys message on his shirt.

Mums rushing to protect the little-ees from the sentiment, angry Dads pointing and grumbling and holding each other back from remedying the situation, no doubt wishing they had access to their own Glocks to put the message into practice.

No, not a beligerent 15 year old hoodie, as you’d expect to be wearing this type of fashion, but a stupid old grey haired fart about 60 + years old.
A great way to get noticed but somewhat dangerous given the situation. Perhaps a touch Darwinian?”

Yikes. Thanks IC. The pic is small, but shirt says “Glock. When you positively have to shoot some cunt in the face. Accept no substitute”  This is not the type of worst you’d expect from a whalesong festival. Who would have thought that the biggest dickhead there wouldn’t be wearing handstitched rags. This is the sort of place as previously discussed, where you’d expect the sale of home made soap by those who appear to never have used the stuff. And yet this knob tops the lot. Nice work.

De-Gifting

Posted on June 20, 2012 by AHC McDonald

Well I wanted to thank Bento and Outrage for keeping the worsts coming while in Chinser land. I saw the perfect gifts for them. I could – still can see Outrage in this shorts belt combo, and was there ever more a Bento boot than the boyfriend boot?
Unfortunately their dollar value exceeded their irony value, so I kept looking. The bad taste t shirts were exactly like bad taste t shirts here, so I finally found the perfect gift, obscure Chinese piss. Tragically, since I was transiting rather than exiting Hong Kong, I wasn’t allowed to take them on the plane. Had to throw them in the bin. So I will have to find some other way to thank them.

Butterfly Pie

Posted on June 19, 2012 by AHC McDonald

What better way to celebrate 3 million views than with a delicious Butterfly Pie? I got back at midnight, so still haven’t had time to peruse the Bento back catalogue. TWOP still blocked in China. How did the boys go? Did they play nice? No controversy? No musical differences? No pics of the mentally ill covered in faeces? C’mon! Nothing?

sand people

J.G. Ballard. Ozymandias. Robert Drewe. These entities flashed through my mind when I received these outstanding images of Media Ave, Medina, from Pete F. I tried to get J.G. Ballard here in the 90s, to marvel at Teh Pert’s traffic, but that is a tale for another time.

“That’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout” – Bento

Posted on June 18, 2012 by rottobloggo

I had a deal with reality TV, which lasted for the first few years of the genre. I would agree to watch the show, and genuinely take an interest in the contestants’ fortunes for the duration of the show, on the proviso that, the instant the show finished, those contestants would fuck off and never be heard from again.  But they Welshed on the deal, and we’re forced to put up with endless appearances on cookbooks, radio spots, Eurovision, and … umm … the arse ends of Corollas.

Although this sticker of that bogan who came second to that weird Christian virgin is perhaps not, of itself, exceptional, it instantly reminded me me of two simple but lovely Worsts from the olden days. I think this is sweet.

Outrage Sunday 58 Snuffday

Posted on June 17, 2012 by rottobloggo

I can’t wait to go to Japan. Their crime reporters work hard, Krazy Kym and I can re-enact the getting off scenes from Lost in Translation, and there are lots of flags to collect. Our colleague Snuff is there, of course, and he was kind enough to send these images – which make me want to go even more. ありがとうございます!

“Recently I snapped a possibly worst building in Mishima and was reminded that it’s been an age since I submitted any images, and so I’ve attached a travelogue for your perusal. Is it worst ? I dunno.”

“Next is a new drink which had me thinking of orangutans, their vaginas, and then, naturally, Gina. How do you pronounce that, anyway?”

“Next up is a restaurant in Kamakura where one Tapas just isn’t enough.”

“Then some boozies from a rapidly vanishing worst in Osaka, the ill-fated Festivalgate amusement park. I’m glad I got plenty of pics of it while it was defunct, yet extant.”

“And just on amusement, the text suggests a person will find happiness at this Tokyo store in 3 minutes, not for 3 minutes … or something.”

“Which takes us to Hokkaido, and something for those with an affection for Toyota Crowns and Nissan Cedrics.”

WW 205 Bento’s boxes ticked

Posted on June 16, 2012 by rottobloggo

“The day Wangara ‘ticks all the boxes’ is the day I cash in my chips,” Bento said. “Corner of Motivation Drive and Excellence Drive! What a dynamic and proactive address!”

From the ad: ‘OUTSTANDING INVESTMENT THAT TICKS ALL THE BOXES: 11 Excellence Drive, Wangara. Strong rental income…Secure tenant…Long term lease…12 Month bank guarantee…Modern building…Depreciation benefits.’

NF#1’s heart exploded with love when he saw this in Inglewood.

NF#1 was horrified by this, in Wembley:

NF#1 (him again) has decided to open a branch office in Northam, after seeing the exquisite Avon Towers. “Brutal/ist disused building in background is the old hospital, considered briefly as a location for the immigration detention centre,” he said.

Creepy – but at least there were no dolls.
