Brad sez, "At this year's Balticon, Earl Newton left his Parsec award for best video podcast unattended just long enough for the star of Calls For Cthulhu (the runner up for said award) to defile it in the most humorous puppet-on-inanimate-object way possible."

Calls For Cthulhu - Balticon Sex Scandal (Thanks, Brad!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

The Snowden Principle

    Help me get this straight, Cory:
    cartoons involving what might be children involved in what might be sex could get me 15 years in prison, but puppets having sex with inanimate objects is still okay, right?
    I’ve gotta find where I hid my Robert Crumb collection from the kids. Could be trouble there. And I’d better draw some whiskers on Mr. Squeezie, my sock puppet …friend.

  • MrJM

    In his house at R’lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits, dreaming of screwing your prize.

    I hope Earl washed that award after he got it back.

  • absimiliard

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    OH HOHOHOHOHOH!

    HEEEEEE HEHEHEHEHE!

    *Gasp for breath*

    *laughs convulsively*

    Heeeheeee.

    Oh my.

    *wipes tears from eyes*

    That has got to be the best thing ever done w. a plushie Cthulhu that I’ve seen.

    *giggle*

    -abs is tremendously amused, as should be obvious, but he’s also pretty sure that award isn’t over 18 and he’d like to see proof of it’s age in case any prosecutors come for him for having viewed this video

  • cmacis

    Sort of looks like he’s eating it rather than humping it.

  • dccarles

    They may want to put a stronger warning on this video in future. I just saw it and then ate my own CTHULU F’THAGN CTHULU F’THAGN CTHULU F’THAGN

  • Anonymous

    That’s very … Green.

  • Utopiana

    My plushie feels sad now. :(

    I agree with #3, plus *sadness* at the lowness.

    BTW, why does the Parsec look so much like a big dong in the first place?

    Wait, can I say “dong”?

  • Talia

    Better not let any prosecuting attorneys get a whiff of this. I’d hate to see the BB staff go to jail for puppet pornography.

  • Chocolatey Shatner

    What has been seen cannot be unseen…

  • Hakan

    Calls For Cthulhu is one of my favourite things on earth. He will eat your souls!

  • Church

    @6 CMACIS

    It’s Cthulhu. I’m pretty sure there’s not much difference between the two.

  • EarlNewton

    Looks like Cthulhu needs to move out of his mother’s basement.

  • sculptedpixel

    it’s a shame the buildup is more interesting than the video itself. meh.
