Diesel.com Visitors Send in Hair to Web Show
References: diesel & theverychronicles.blogspot
Diesel just turned over their homepage to a shocking and bizarre series of videos. Equally disturbing as they are funny, each of the videos takes audience participation and community generated content to an entirely unsettling new territory. The videos include a naked woman bathing in a bath full of hair, and as if that were not weird enough, the hair was sent in by visitors to Diesel.com. An address is posted on the site where viewers can still send their hair to.
A singing puppet made from meat sings about his rise to fame, and subsequent downfall. Eventually selling his body for sex, we even see him chew on his own leg in a state of hunger.
The darkest of the lot seems to be a reality series that follows a group of hooded, semi-naked dancers as they dance against each other in an underground bunker. Visitors to Diesel.com will be able to vote for a winner in true reality TV style!
See Pete The Meat Puppet below. More of the videos that can also be seen in YouTube can be seen here.
