Week 28: Pageant of the Transmundane

Tonight we take our ceremonies to the deep autumnal splendour of South Bend, Indiana to keep the cool vibes going into a weekend where a lot of belt buckles are still going to be undone, and what better place to avoid a loud raucous crowd than on a university campus on a Saturday.

But onto the business at hand. This week's winner comes from over the ocean and far away in the Netherlands, where long-time Culture Kills reader Yvonne AKA Dutchbitch the proprietor of The Dutch Files made a rather stunning discovery clear across the world.

It seems that the Japanese are into some rather strange things, and in this case, it is all about Hello Kitty. The little feline has been caught in a rather compromising position. Well, not just compromising, but rather hanging in bondage gear and blindfolded in a hotel room devoted to the Sanrio star, and trust me, that image is like something out of some strange brightly colored yet sinister dream.

The horror. The horror. And because the seene messed with my mind so much(and this is coming from someone who was playing Katamari Damacy all week), Yvonne is the week's big winner. Congratulations Dutchy!

I thought it was only fitting that this week's Homer Simpson Transmundanity Award also depicts a cartoon character trapped in bondage.



And to celebrate this win, here is your badge:



The rules of this little contest: Every week I will be selecting one blog post that I have seen from the vast reaches of the blogosphere to bestow with the Homer Simpson Transmundanity Award for being one of the freakiest(in a funny way) things I've seen or read during a 7 day period. It doesn't necessarily have to have been written during the week, I just had to have encountered it. That means that if you find something interesting and repost it like a movie or whatever, if I saw it at your blog first, you get the prize. Of course, creating your own content is also a very good way to win.

Now, if you see a post that you think is worthy of this illustrious prize, just drop me a line at campybeaver@gmail.com and we'll see if we can't get your suggestion up and award-ready while giving you some credit and a link to your own blog.
