Follies of the Mad Men #169
You saw the Janus-faced cat. You saw the Janus-faced baby. But little did you think that such mutants could grow up to have a profitable career in advertising!

Even Dwarfs Started Small
Perhaps these clips will give you some small taste of my weird viewing experience last night: Werner Herzog's Even Dwarfs Started Small.First, the movie's "theme song," heard at intervals throughout.
Next, a scene from the middle, where sighted dwarves torment blind ones.
Finally, the closing scene.
Rent this immediately, to cement your standing as a true WU-vie!
