Horrifying and Disturbing

March 16th, 2007

I’ll never forgive Jack for introducing me to Salad Fingers, by David Firth. It has been around for years, but this is the first time I’ve seen it. If you haven’t already seen these then I must warn you that it could leave you leave you scarred for life.

Salad Fingers

Another one that passed me by was the equally horrifying Basshunter, a Swedish band who topped the charts in several European countries with their song about an IRC bot. They also had a top 10 single about the Warcraft III game, DOTA. This is what happens when the internet and online gaming culture becomes mainstream. I have to admit, I laughed out loud on a few occasions.

Boten Anna
I know a bot. Her name is Anna, Anna is her name. She can ban you, ban you so hard. She cleans up our channel…

DOTA
We’re sitting here in Ventrilo, playing some DOTA…

    I like the beats of the song, although the translated lyrics are a bit geeky.

    For a while, I thought it was about a boat named Anna.

    A bit geeky is an understatement. And they really do have an IRC bot called Anna in their channel on Quakenet.
