Moonwalk down the road: The Eternal Moonwalk is an attempt to commemorate Michael Jackson’s life and contribution to global pop culture by presenting a staggeringly long line of people slowly dancing, shuffling, ambling, jolting, sliding and walking backwards in tribute to MJ’s signature dance move. The videos link up to form a sometimes-seamless stream of moonwalking. You can submit your own moonwalk and join the thousands of submissions covering hundreds of metres at eternalmoonwalk.com.
Comics, stripped: Josh Fruhlinger is not a happy camper. He’s a bitter young man, and in his blog, he unleashes this rage at an unlikely target—newspaper comic strips—thrusting Ziggy’s questionable biology under the microscope and delving into the homoerotic subtext of Dagwood Bumstead’s abusive relationship with his boss, Dennis the Menace’s bizarre compulsion to defecate on Mr. Wilson’s soap and Shoe’s inexplicable zoological mistakes (with anthropomorphic birds that grow hair). Meanwhile, the kids of Family Circus drop f-bombs with impunity—a protest against laxitude in movie ratings. Bitterly funny at joshreads.com.
