CNN BLOOPERS (c.1991), the quality's not too hot but this is an expertly constructed collection of flubs, pranks, cursing, and control room directors going friggin' bonkers; would love to find a better copy but this is great anyway; with vintage commercials. (feature: 1:52, D)


GRAVEDIGGER CHRISTIAN SNAKEOIL VOL. 1: DECEPTION OF A GENERATION (1985), here are a couple episodes of a kooky xian cable access show, wherein the host and his "expert" guest analyze cartoons and toys for their occult, new age and homosexual overtones!; also comes with a David Benoit scare clip and some other stuff; great party tape. (feature: 1:32, B-)


GRAVEDIGGER CHRISTIAN SNAKEOIL VOL. 2: PERVERSE PREACHERS, FASCIST FUNDAMENTALISTS, AND KRISTIAN KIDDIE KOOKS (1991), the editors of Boston's Zontar magazine painstakingly sat through hours of cable xian programming and news stories to extract the weirdest, scariest, and wackiest bits that make up this classic compilation, one of the all-time great party tapes. Watch a rapping pirate puppet, revelation doomsayers, airbrushed pulpit bullshit artists, scumbag shysters begging for cash, Illuminati/CFR conspiracies, bizarre new-age organizations, plus a big section covering the most embarrassing moments of Robertson, the Bakers, Oral Roberts, and Swaggart (his famous, teary post-hooker confession; just simultaneously beautiful and horrifying to watch). If christianity is starting to look appealing in your old age, watch this tape for a shock back to reality. (1:59, C)
