I Heart Chaos

Iceland want to ban all internet porn. Good luck with that.

It’s bad enough that all strip clubs are banned in Soviet Iceland and now the country is talking about how it wants to ban all internet pornography, which would then make Scotland the closest place a guy could catch a glimpse of boob, and no one should have to go that far.

And now here’s the video of that drunk Icelandair passenger being duct-taped to his seat

If you liked the photo, you’ll love the video, which is like a whole bunch of photos shot in sequence and arranged to give the illusion of movement.

Icelandic guy gets drunk and rowdy on a flight, so the passengers taped him to his seat

On a flight from Reykjavik to New York, a passenger got totally shitfaced, attacked a female passenger and started screaming that the plane was going down. So his fellow passengers duct taped his dumb ass to his chair for the rest of the flight. TCB.

Did Matt Groening find inspiration for Homer Simpson in this old Icelandic comic?

This cartoon appeared in an Icelandic magazine in 1949. The similarities between the Icelandic cartoon character and Homer Simpson are striking, but there’s no telling if Groening ever saw it or not.

Christoph Waltz will be Mikhail Gorbachev in ‘Reyjkavik’

Even though Christoph Waltz had to drop out of playing Sigmund Freud for David Cronenberg, but in the historical film ‘Reyjkavik’, he’ll be donning the giant birthmark to play Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev opposite Michael Douglas, who will be playing Ronald Reagan.

Morning music: Sigur Rós “Rembihnútur”

Sigur Rós is a fiery heart engine perpetually powering a trans-dimensional locomotive through a panoply of tones, carrying souls through vastly expanding dreamlike terrains. Within each song a bird is freed from it’s cage, to taking flight in a synaesthesia of feelings and emotions who varies in temperature from warm to cool. The music shares with life, something new and refreshing is always happening. Thanks!

Icelandic website lets Icelanders find out if they’re committing incest

Iceland: A beautiful island with beautiful women and everyone’s related

Iceland is a tiny country, isolated in the North Atlantic with a population of only about 300,000. So if you’re hooking up with someone in Iceland, the question isn’t if you’re related, but by how much. Fortunately, there’s a website that lets Icelanders know if they’re related to a boyfriend or girlfriend a little too closely.

Fire inside ice: Geyser in Iceland one second before eruption

This beautiful photo by Tatyana Kildisheva shows a surreal scene: gas apparently glowing inside water inside the Icelandic geyser Strokkur, just one second before it erupted. How did she do it?

The process for timing the shot was very simple: just sit, wait, and have a good reaction to press the shutter button fast. I did not have my tripod and camera remote control with me.

Iceland’s new internet crowdsourced constitution reaches first draft without any trolling

A couple months ago, when Iceland announced it would be using the internet to crowdsource its new constitution, there were all sorts of jokes made about how the constitution would include things like a right to bacon and Rickrolling and whatnot. But now that the first draft is finished, amazingly, they’ve got a serious constitution on their hands.

Iceland is writing a new constitution and they want it to be crowdsourced

Article 16: Tits or GTFO

Iceland is looking to completely re-write its constitution, and leave it to the more-modern-than-thou island nation to decide that it wants large amounts of internet input on the drafting of the document that will decide how the country runs.

Mini-rapture? Volcano blows its top, triggers 50 mini-earthquakes

Well it would be sort of disappointing if we ended the day with absolutely no natural disasters whatsoever, so I guess we should thank Iceland and the Grimsvotn volcano for… something. The volcano blew its top today, triggering 50 mini earthquakes on the island, which I don’t think is what was called for today, but it’s something.

Looks like Americans may have discovered Europe hundreds of years before Columbus “discovered” America

It’s well known by this point that Christopher Columbus was just the first Italian to land on the shore of the Americas and that the first Europeans to land on these shores were Vikings from Norway and Iceland that ventured down the coast of Canada five hundred years before Columbus. But something new to that story is that it appears that they took Native Americans back with them to Iceland.
