    • 2012, Johan Kugelberg, Brad Pitt's Dog: Essays on Fame, Death, Punk:
      When we kackle like your uncle Sal at "Yey Whazzup Make Up" by Pssing Stones, the sublime recontextualized Rolling Stones' video (by StS, the same genius that brought us the "Shreds" Youtube[sic] clips) that in its endgame brings us the hyper-reality of a bunch of absurd middle-aged rock dinosaurs chump-changing us with a cardboard-cut-out-cartoon-rebellion with even less fiber and nutrition than that Cinnamon Toast Crunch enema I mentioned earlier, we inch closer to a resolve of the problems brought by your sides aching of convulsive laughter upon repeated viewing of the Hitler lip where he finds out about Oasis canceling their tour.
