Old-Man Monster Really Did Eat People In DC

by Ken Layne  


This is an important UPDATE from the public relations firm that wanted us to know a giant monster puppet of an old man was going to be set loose upon Washington, to eat the ladies. Well, it happened. Here is the video. Just watch the first eight or nine seconds and then throw your computer out the window, because what?!

Evidently it prefers to eat middled aged male tourists instead.

Baldar T Flagass April 29, 2010 at 9:17 am

It looks like he pukes up a different guy than the one he ate. WTF?

Terry April 29, 2010 at 9:19 am

Puppets. Why the frickin fascination with huge puppets?

Monsieur Grumpe April 29, 2010 at 9:20 am

So this is what Stephen Hawking talking about.

Where’s Inky and Blinky?

[re=566778]Baldar T Flagass[/re]: He ate the shirt of his back. And also his hat. Insult to injury.

Jesus, I knew I shouldn’t have had all that peyote for breakfast.

Wonder if I could hire that guy for my 5 year-old’s birthday party. On the hilarity that would ensue (at least for the adults…okay, at least for me) when he went around eating the children.

coolcatdaddy April 29, 2010 at 9:39 am

And, next week, watch for the sequel – a Pope that eats children.

Herman the German April 29, 2010 at 9:39 am

Well, I prefer to eat people fried or cooked.

freakishlystrong April 29, 2010 at 9:39 am

Oh dear God, please don’t let these puppets be libruls…

PlanetWingnuta April 29, 2010 at 9:39 am

[re=566790]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: just hire a priest then you can defintely be assured he will be eating the children. Also.

Did Hasbro even bother to test this new Mr. Monopoly?

bureaucrap April 29, 2010 at 9:43 am

reminds me of an ex-boyfriend — at least metaphorically.

Leading to new nightmares for kiddies…

“Can’t sleep or banker will eat me”

[re=566789]FMA[/re]: yeah, me too!

Chain Tattoo April 29, 2010 at 9:57 am

Kinda looks like ol’ Walnuts McCain. Is this some kind of political street theater that I don’t understand?

tootsieroll April 29, 2010 at 10:00 am

We need an animated gif of those first few seconds where the puppets charges in and eats the man.

Cape Clod April 29, 2010 at 10:00 am

Is that the National’s new, wacky mascot?

WarAndG April 29, 2010 at 10:02 am

What next, a tea bagger puppet that sucks his own head up his ass? Wait that would be cool.

facehead April 29, 2010 at 10:07 am

I always knew the Fine Young Cannibals wouldn’t age gracefully.

Shameful.

(on the lighter side, a facebook page wants to kill Obama:

Awesomest. Video. Evah.

betterDeadThanRed April 29, 2010 at 10:15 am

[re=566800]ManchuCandidate[/re]: I can’t sleep myself because I’m afraid a banker will eat me. I had that fear before I ever saw this video. Is ther a neame for the irrational fear that bakers will eat you alive? Is this even an irrational fear?

WadISay April 29, 2010 at 10:22 am

I’m guessing James O’Keefe is behind this somewhere, but damn if I can figure out what he’s up to.

Prommie April 29, 2010 at 10:23 am

No, no, no, no, bankers don’t eat people, they eat peoples’ money. It says so on that Clash song, and the Clash were always right, always:
“My Daddy was a banker
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money”

WideStance April 29, 2010 at 10:26 am

The only protest video that comes close to this one is the mimes vs. teabagger classic.

[re=566795]freakishlystrong[/re]: They are the “advocacy” side of Consumers Union, those guys who publish Consumer Reports. No idea what the lean of the group really is, but they support financial reform (like everyone not working on Wall Street or insane). Does frugality (or cheapness) have a political party?

dannygutters April 29, 2010 at 10:36 am

I like this better when Clammy Sosa does it at minor league baseball.

TGY April 29, 2010 at 10:38 am

Real bankers are scarier.

Boy, Pac-Man has really let himself go.

Looks more like a giant potato.

Needs more dildo duck

proudgrampa April 29, 2010 at 11:01 am

WTF?

President Beeblebrox April 29, 2010 at 11:05 am

I thought we were supposed to eat the rich, not vice versa.

Lascauxcaveman April 29, 2010 at 11:33 am

I applaud this giant monster cannibal banker for performing such a thankless public service. An important person like me, walking and doing important things on my blackberry doesn’t want to have to worry about tripping over some squatting tourist photographer or small child in my path.

Thank you for keeping our sidewalks clear, giant monster cannibal banker!

Johnny Zhivago April 29, 2010 at 11:34 am

Could this be derived from the Borat “Running of the Jew”:

I haz a confused. I didn’t see a single “Keep yer gubmint hands off my Medicare” sign.

Give us head.

Extemporanus April 29, 2010 at 1:47 pm

Typical money grubbing old dude: He acts like he’s gonna swallow, but at the moment of truth, he’s suddenly all like “Mmph! Gak! Pbllttt! Patooewy! Not in my mouth, goddamnit! You want my goddamn teeth to fall out?! Jesus Christ, kids nowadays!”

cabrerjc April 29, 2010 at 5:02 pm

Middle age? I resent that! I’m 33 and I was on a nice stroll with my family. He completely ate the shirt off my back. It was scary. You can see how I normally look at http://www.twssshow.com

cabrerjc April 29, 2010 at 5:12 pm

[re=566778]Baldar T Flagass[/re]: Nope its the same guy…I should know. :)

yargisbargis April 29, 2010 at 8:47 pm

[re=567336]cabrerjc[/re]: Sorry always associated suburban family types with middle age. See by that video that you managed to survive your trauma of being eaten with copious amounts of ice cream which always helps!
