Channel-surfing and link-hopping are similar activities in that they both often end up with you experiencing absolute crud. Case in point: a short link-hop this evening brought me from Gizmodo to Boingboing to UseMyComputer to this freaky-beyond-belief website:
Now, before I write anything else, let me first preface this brief entry by saying that I have nothing against Melanie Griffith, as an actress or as a human. Well, at least until now. Because you’d have to be a very special kind of crazy to have a website like this, and I find myself mildly disturbed by the fact that I actually thought she was cute back in Shining Through (i know, i know, i must be a pretty special kind of crazy, too).
But, anyway:
As you can see from the screencap, the page has a picture of some sort of magical, faggot garden. This is the main page btw, so as you might guess, those doors are links to the site’s various sections.
I won’t bother describing what’s behind each one (let’s just say, my mouth was agape the whole time and spit was beginning to pool in my lap), but if you want to get a feel for the site without actually having to see all of it, check out Avalon, in which Melanie shares a letter she wrote to her inner self. Yes, it begins with “Dear Inner Self.” No, there is no mention of MPD anywhere.
In another page within Avalon, Melanie provides us with a short guide to Meditation which is, rather interestingly, only four steps long (including the step where you select a chant from the dropdown menu). Basically, you sit back, wait for the cheesy flash animation to load, and hey presto! You’re meditating!
It’s not readily apparent where Melanie is pulling this weirdness from (although this page provides a clue), so I guess I’ll be left forever wondering. Perhaps I shall write a letter to my inner self and ask him for his thoughts on the matter.
