The Oblongs DVD Release

Every once in a while you look at something and think, "WHO IN THE HECK thought that was a good idea"...It's kinda a ray of sunshine for the less fortunate.

I felt that way from the vary first episode that aired on The WB, the people you brought us Bugs Bunny are now allowing us to make fun of the handicapped though the eyes of the demented Angus Oblong.

Mr "O", for those not aware created a little book called "Creepy Suzy and Other Tragic Tales", its a wonderful romp into the darkest spots in civilization and a delightful read. I think it may also be used as the bible over at the suicide girls website.

Every week as this gem appeared on The WB I thought, "this has to be the last episode, how long can it go on?", cats who smoke and cough up lungs, conjoined twins who fight over who washes their butt crack in the shower, a little boy so doped up on antipsycotic medication you begin to think you have problems and a mom who clearly sells herself for anything she can get.

I guess the little girl with the tumor and the father with no arms or legs that works in a factory putting the labels on rat poison with his tongue almost makes sense....

Sure the kids have friends, Peggy the Mutant, the girl with no lower jaw & one dangly little boob in the center of her chest, Mikey Butts whose butt cheeks sag down below his knees, its ok because he uses his grandmothers bra to keep them up, and of course Creepy Susie the morbid goth girl who, for no real reason, floats 6 inches above the ground.

Well it finally bit the dust, duh it was ...FRICKIN GREAT !!!!! six short weeks and it was bye bye carney workers....well the gang at the Cartoon Network picked it up as part of their ADULT SWIM products and all of the 13 episodes have been aired.

Now comes a the greatest moment of all, This weeks long awaited release of The 2 DVD set , The COMPLETE OBLONGS....

All 13 episodes are now availible on 2 DVD's along with the shows concept art and various other pieces from Angus Oblongs World. YIPPEE....

Don't take my word for it, go out and spend the $29.95, after all THE WB allowed me to be completely naked on one of their stations a few years ago and chose to not blur anything out...and this is alot better than that, but somehow similar...and worth the price...

If your still on the fence, here is an interview with Angus about this project and then check out the website, because I'm watching them with or without you, so there...
