Folks, what I am about to show you really did happen. What you will see is extremely graphic and horrifying. You should be over the age of eighteen and be prepared to see a lot of blood. This post is voluntarily rated R18+ for that reason. Now…onto the main point of the post…

I found this gory yet fascinating gem of television history online today. It comes from Philadelphia’s WPVI-6 (we think), and it’s the January 22 1987 suicide of former Philadelphia treasurer Budd Dwyer. Some stations freeze framed it and allowed the audio to continue, WPVI let it run, and I think this is where the footage comes from. Not for the faint of the heart. Watch the video by clicking below.

Frankster has once again outdone himself with the A/V goodness he uploads to his blog.

I strongly advise you to visit his site, and in particular, download the three commercial/program/station ID medleys he’s just done.

And to whet your appetite, with his kind blessing, here’s a preview of one of the medleys. Enjoy!

Yes, it’s a closedown. And more to the point, it’s a Prime Television closedown from the early 1990s. So sue me!

Ten News Sydney (relayed across New South Wales via Southern Cross Ten) said goodbye to sports presenter Tim Webster during tonight’s bulletin. Tim’s off to concentrate on his afternoon radio program on Sydney’s 2UE, but I believe he’s doing relief work at Ten, so he’s not gone completely.

Anyway, I did record it for the people over at MediaSpy, and I’ve uploaded it here in all its glory. Mind you, it’s a big file, as I also got Angela’s tribute to Tim during her last weather segment (that twerp Tim Bailey is back on Monday…just our luck). Enjoy!

Finally, the NRL Footy Show has done something funny!

NS4W.org has the latest music video from the Russian prick teases t.A.T.u…complete with nudity, and a pregnant girl being executed.  Hmmm….interesting combo.

The song is called “White Robe” if you’re looking for it.

If YouTube takes it down, go to NS4W.org and click on the links to download the Rapidshare file.

In addition to NBN’s story on the parade, I found this video montage of the event set to Robert Miles’ “Fable”. Nicely done!

Scone is currently in the closing stages of the 2008 Scone Horse Festival, and here’s some video of some of the festivities, namely the festival parade and today’s Scone Cup. Both are from NBN News.

Wow! So enlightening, and honest, yet so very puzzling…

Back in the day, when the Scone Civic was up and going, they played this clip at the start of each session. I have since tracked this down online at a site called FilmTech , which lists it as a generic policy trailer used quite widely, notably with a US chain called Cinema West. Sadly, the Civic isn’t being used for movies any more, but at least the owners are planning to give the place a coat of paint (according to ABC Upper Hunter).
