It’s Monday, here’s a nipple hair moustache. I suppose it was inevitable that eventually this weekly ritual would come to this.

Admittedly, I’ve come across many things on this vast internet — either on my own or through our tip line — since I started writing for Ectomo, but few things have presented any sort of internal conflict on whether or not to post. No, the line is usually clear as to whether something belongs on the front page and, in the rare instances that I have been unsure, my esteemed editors have been swift and most often times brutal in their duty, striking down the most heinous of content while simultaneously letting me know just how disgusting they find whatever piece of my buried subconscious I had decided to expose to the open air.
This particular video did, indeed, give me pause. Should this go up? I didn’t know. By its creators own admission it is nothing official; it does not represent some newly discovered mise en scène employed by Microsoft to market their Zune device, and yet there is effort here. It is not merely a collection of images with no inherent meaning, but instead spotlights one of the Zune’s social features that is, the ability to share or “squirt” music between Zunes. In that regard, this faux ad succeeds brilliantly, deftly highlighting that very ability with a splattering of colors. On the other hand, it does this with a rotund, hirsute gentleman who also happens to be nude. I will leave it to you to find out for yourself how the whole visual metaphor works out.
And with that I hit “Publish”. Believe me when I say that I am so, so sorry to have done this to you but, as we all know, misery loves company.
Also, NSFW.

It is unfortunate that were I to let my hair grow long enough it would simply expand into a tangled nest of staggering proportions, a prime example of the dreadful Jew-fro; denying me the simple pleasures of The Executive’s well-shaped elegance or The Perfecto’s sleek profile.

Shivraj Giri is a very charismatic naga sadhu i spent some time with in Varanasi in February 2007. Here, taking a little chai (tea) break. Indian pilgrims would sometimes wait in line in front of him to receive his darshan (blessing), making him a very popular and busy man in Varanasi.
When not on the pilgrimage routes, Shivaraj Giri lives away from the chaos of the world, just outside a tiny village in Madhya-Pradesh (central India), where his desciples and villagers regularly go and pay him respectful visits.
Sahus are yoga practitioners who renounced all material except for blue body paint and wicked awesome dreads in order to elevate their spirit to a higher plateau.

In sheer defiance of the World Wide Web Consortium's will, Ectomo was designed using a non-web-standard font. Luckily, it is included in the excellent font pack released by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society, which can be freely downloaded in Mac and PC formats here. Ectomo should still look fine without it, though.
