I've been reading this webcomic since 1998, and it has never failed to entertain me no matter how many times I re-read it. Today, I will reference this strip.
"Frontier Psychiatrist" by The Avalanches, a plunderphonics group out of Melbourne. They sample all sorts of stuff into glorious alt-dance/breakbeat sound collages. That music video is so great in that it does visually what they do sonically.
Another good band(with wierd videos) is The Grates. The problem is that everyone outside Australia seems to think we stopped making music after ACDC had their day, when nothing could be further from the truth.
That video is a joke, Li. Go have a look at Edward Current's other videos, he's a funny guy. "Beating the Demon" is definitely my new favourite euphemism for masturbation.

I was gonna say...As the only Christian on this forum, I think I can tell when a guy is not a Christian and is just joking.
Only Conservative Christian Republican type guy, then...
You've said this a few times -- that you're a conservative, that you're a republican -- and every time I think that it doesn't seem to square with a lot of the things you've expressed on the forum -- your apparent support for gays, for instance. What's the deal with that? In what ways are you conservative, or a republican?

I tend to support a more conservative fiscal policy. I agree with the Iraqi war, though that's necessarily conservative, but the two are usually related. My "morals" tend to skew more conservative than most on these forums. I could point out a few more, but if I get into enough specifics, we could spark an argument...And that seems unnecessary at this point. But I won't lie, I do consider myself a bit of a...maverick.

As you most likely know, green text = sarcasm. I was making a joke.
But in all honesty, as Funfetus pointed out, I do differ from conservatives on a few key issues, namely abortion and gay rights, that are definitely standouts. Although I will also point out that my views on same-sex marriage are still different from the average liberal, and that I don't actively campaign for that right, which is strange, I know. And most likely hypocritical, since I'm not against it but I don't actively support it. It's definitely strange...

That's not really a great example...There are plenty of conservative republicans that aren't anti-gay. Sexual orientation is one issue in a million, and it's pretty specific. People in both parties swing both ways on it. Plus, since the government has a lot more to do with taxes and services than it does with telling people who they can have sex with, this issue really isn't a huge part of what I consider to determine someone's political orientation. There tends to be a correlation, but your support or disdain for gays doesn't determine your political affiliation. Just sayin'.

Man, Australian music is amazing.

I really want this to be a joke because it's so hilarious, but I don't think it is.
