Classic Conan O'Brien absurdness: a competitor to the Fitbit, called the Fatbat.

Life is absurd and there is no intrinsic meaning, so it means finding and creating meaning in the absurdness.

There's an inherent virality and absurdness to all the projects that they've created, and it's something people want to share and ask questions about.

Just to accept that, yeah, I think that that's a weird fitting coda to this story, both in sort of the surreality and absurdness of the crime, and in the sort of meting out of karmic justice, which is again, not how the criminal justice should work.

The MTV Europe Music Awards bring the brand of colossal American absurdness that is lacking from our own ceremonies (huge budgets, huge pyrotechnics, huge names), and packages it in a way that is supposedly about European pop music, but is actually about showcasing American exports to a vast European TV audience (210.21 had record European viewing figures).

Mike Cecchini of Den of Geek rated the episode one out of five stars, describing it as a "major misstep" and "a tremendous step backwards". Cecchini criticized the absurdness of the Count's storyline. However, Cecchini complimented Malcolm Merlyn's dramatic return and two well-placed moments of utter competency for Felicity Smoak which established her inclusion on the team and lightens the tone. Jesse Schedeen of IGN rated the episode 7.4, noting that Count Vertigo let the episode down with "bad acting and "copycat Joker" writing".

There are 34 hotel rooms from levels 3 to 8, with levels 3 to 6 having six rooms per floor. These rooms range from 32sqm to 37sqm and are connected via a single gallery corridor, with the front two rooms being larger to allow interconnection to create a suite. Levels 7 and 8 have five rooms per floor and a rooftop bar and restaurant area known as the Club Bar in the top three levels. Unlike conventional hotel swimming pools, DCM designed the pool in the form of a shipping container, cantilevering one metre over the front facade on Flinders Lane with a glass bottom.. to Australian architecture, giving a sense of absurdness, exaggerating common architecture principles to an extreme degree.

Bergman discovered that the sense of comic timing he had for his live shows couldn't be replicated in the digital realm, and he had to adapt accordingly. Firesign Theatre website Firezine said that the game was illustrative of Bergman's ability to "survey America's culture and obsessions like a maniacal monitor reflecting the absurdness of it all, while casting his iconoclastic eye to read the entrails of the present coarse and our delirious future". Bergman collaborated with David Ossman, Phil Proctor, Melinda Peterson, sound designer Ted Bonnitt and other players from his Radio Free Oz show to produce the game. In addition, he hired Mike Sansonia to create the game's music, while Ted Bonnitt directed mouth-sound-effects artist Fred Newman to record voice tracks to blend with recorded sound effects.

Employees of the library told that the books Sharina allegedly had distributed in fact had been planted within the search. Sharina's defense team pointed vagueness and absurdness of the charges against her: she had not been in charge of the library stock acquisition and fees for the lawyers had been permitted by the Department for Culture of the Government of Moscow. Finally, the court found Sharina guilty and gave her a 4-year suspended sentence. The case of Scientologists in St. Petersburg Ivan Pavlov served as a defending attorney for Sakhib Aliyev, chief accountant and one of the five members of the St.-Petersburg Scientologist Church, accused of illegal business practices and religious extremism. Pavlov is sure that “the case of Scientologists is a shameful page in the new history of Russian justice” since he believes that “they persecute them for their faith, trying to consider them extremists” and that “FSB already tries to dictate to the public what gods they may or may not worship”.
