Welcome to Another Installment of Strange and Disturbing Videos Featuring Miss Shaye Saint John in Broken Neck. Saint John is a Fictional Character and Art Project Who Appears in a Series of Surrealist, Creepy Short Films, and is Brain Child of Creator Eric Fournier. In the 90’s, Fournier was a Member of the Punk Bands The Blood Farmers and Skelegore when He began working on the First Miss Shaye St. John Video.
Who is Miss Shaye St. John? :
The Character Shape St. John is Described as a “Model”, and is Shown in Videos Wearing a Plastic Mask, a Series of Wigs and Dresses, and Manipulating a Pair of Wooden Hands Attached to Sticks. Tragically Saint John was Hit By a Train which Resulted in the Loss of Her Arms and Legs (as Well as Horribly Disfiguring Her Face). Instead of Using the Traditional Prosthetics, She Added Mannequin Parts to Her Face and Added the Wooden Hands so No One could See Her Severely Damaged and Deformed Hands. Saint John Wears a Series of Different Masks throughout Her Videos, Supposedly because She Doesn’t want the World to See What She Actually looks Like. Creator Eric Fournier has said “It’s Really Bad, that’s Why She wears the Mask.”
In 2003, the Character started a Blog at LiveJournal, and a YouTube Channel Named Elastic Spastic Plastic Fantastic was created in August 2006. The YouTube Channel Uploaded all 56 of the Saint John Videos from 2006-2007, But the Official Channel was Discontinued and Cancelled in December of 2007.
We here at FYB have a rather Bad Habit of Spreading ourselves WAY Too Thin and We assure You We are Working Diligently on Remedying this Issue. We had Posted the First Installment of the Series “Being Pretty” |Dystopian Animated Short Film, and then Honestly We almost Absolutely Forgot about the Series
So We are Thrilled to bring You the NEXT Installment of the Dystopian Animated Short Film Series By Scottish Writer, Director, Sculpture, Painter, Artist, and Animator David James Armsby. The Short Film Series takes place in the Sci Fi Post Apocalyptic Town Known as Autodale where the Citizens are Anything but Normal. In this Installment Armsby Introduces a New Kind of “Ugly” that are the Exceptionals; and How Imagination can Play a Fundamental Role in Uncovering the Horrible Secret of the “System”.
Plot Synopsis:
Welcome back to Autodale, Children. Today’s programming is Nearly Done, which means it is Time for Bed. But Sadly, Not All Dreams are Sweet, some are Scary and Full of Monsters. If any Night Terrors Haunt Your Sleep, Children; Always Remember that You’re Safe in Autodale. There are No Monsters Here.
In The Animator’s Own Words:
” This Short was a Massive Undertaking. It was Fun and Horrible to Work On. I put more Hours into this Short than Any Other of My Animations. I put More Detail into the Backdrops, Pictures, and Animation than I ever have Before. I think this Short Broke Me Mentally. That Being Said, I think it may have some of the Best Imagery I’ve ever Created.”
Many, Many Moons Ago We Posted a Video Titled USERNAME: 666 because it was Strange, Unnerving, Disturbing ,and a Little Creepy so Right Up Our Ally. We were First Informed that this particular Video had been Pulled from the Dangerous Depths of The Infamous Dark Web, but We have since Learned that is NOT the Actual Origin of said Video.
In Reality the Video is from the Earliest of the Early Days in YouTube’ History whens there were No Rules, Regulations, or Community Guidelines to Speak of. Users were Free to Upload Any and All Kinds of Content without Worry. Unfortunately as these things go YouTube began to Grow Exponentially while the Age of Social Media was Coming into its Own. As a Side Effect YouTube became less Artistic Freedom of Expression and more Focused on Advertiser Dollars along with Monetization.
Bottomline YouTube evolved into a Money Making Machine and That Changed Everything as Now Users could have Their Videos/Channels Shut Down Permanently. Then Later on as YouTube Continued to Rise in Popularity Users could also Have Their Content Demonetized for Violating the Established Community Guidelines. It’s understandable since at this point in the Game YouTube is Greedy as a Motherfucker taking 30 Cents of Every Dollar a YouTuber makes. You Know who Else gets 30 Cents for Every Dollar? Money Launderers that’s all We’re Saying.
Now We were Under the Assumption that the Name of the Video USERNAME:666 was simple a Freaky fucking Title the Creator Chose for Their Insanely Strange Video. We Mean Let’s Face It You add 666 to Anything and People Bug the Fuck Out because of the Alleged Tie In with Devil Worship. So it made perfect fucking sense that if Someone was looking to Make a Disturbing Video it would have an Appropriately Disturbing Title. What We should have Done is take the Title simply at Face Value as the Person’s Actual User Name was in fact 666.
The Backstory of 666 is as Bizarre as the Video in Question which We suppose shouldn’t be all that surprising considering this kind of Content. As it turns out back in the Day as Word about the USERNAME:666 Video Spread farther and Wider across the Internet 666 became the Most Notorious Username. This was Due to People Googling YouTube.com/666 or YouTube.com/user/666 like fucking Crazy as They hunted down the Video to see for Themselves. USER 666 did have a Viable YouTube Channel (YouTube.com/666 which You can see Typed into the Search Box in the USERNAME:666 Video’s Beginning) that was/has been Defunct for Longer than Anyone Actually Knows.
Originally in the Time after 666’s Channel was Shut Down By YouTube/Google if You searched for the Video You’d get YouTubes Standard Explanation: This Account has been Terminated due to Repeated or Severe Violations of Our Community Guidelines. The Odd Thing is if You try and Search for the Video Now YouTube will Tell You “This Page Isn’t Available…” as if The Channel had Never Existed in the First Place.
Internet Historians using Archive.com tried to Locate a Time before 666’s Channel was Deleted in an Attempt to Hunt Down 666’s Old Content. The fucked up fact was that None of the Internet Historians No Matter How hard They tried or how many Hours They logged Online could Ever Locate a Time Before 666’s Account was Deleted. Again it seemed as if Someone was Doing Their Damnedest to Eradicate Any and All Evidence that 666 or Their Channel Ever Existed at All.
There was Though a Good Bit of Open Discussion pertaining to 666 on the 4Chan Website where Users had either Praised or Pondered 666 and the Encompassing Mystery Behind Them. Finally a User on 4 Chan after (God Knows how many Tedious Hours) Researching Online found a Rather Dated, But Authentic Post by a Malik Walton Directly Linked to 666 that was Dated 8/14/07.
It Reads as Follows:
“Dear Google,
This channel has done me harm the videos are all graphic and repulsive. This channel is gaining attention that it does not deserve. Can you do anything about this?”
With this piece of Information its Safer than Not to assume 666 in the Early Anything Goes Wild West Days of YouTube Uploaded Unnerving Videos Until Some Asshole Reported Them. YouTube/Google then Decide to Manually Delete 666’s Channel and its also Presumed (by the Majority of Those Involved in Researching this Mystery) that YouTube/Google are Involved in some sort of Conspiracy Cover Up to Eliminate All Information on 666.
The Final Question in the Ongoing Mystery of 666 is What Happened to Them after YouTube/Google Swooped in and Terminated They’re Channel? Most People would be Inclined to think 666 simply Disappeared back into the Online Void Never to be Herd Form Again, BUT is that Really What Happened or is there still More to This Mystery than Meets the Eye?! There is a Popular Belief as to the Where about and Activities of the Legendary 666 Nowadays and here it is. The Popular Belief is that 666 never really left YouTube, but instead They Created Another Second Channel called nana825763 and there They resumed Posting Crazy Creepy Content. Don’t get Us wrong if that were indeed True We’d be Psyched as Hell, Yet this Rumor as Far as We can devise is Total Crap (its just too fucking Convenient)
The Ironic thing is on nana825763 is where We actually located a Copy of USERNAME:666 although We didn’t take the Time to Check the Channel’s Other Content. We work in a Very Smash and Grab Fashion so We Located a Copy of the Video, Grabbed it, Copied it, and Off We Went. Well since the Subject Matter in this Post Came Up We decided to Double Back and take a Second Look. The Following is what We Found .
With 252K Subscribers it Pretty fucking safe to Say if this was the New Channel by 666 Someone would have found out definitively Especially since the Channel was Started in in September 2006.
90 Percent of the Content on nana825763 are PiroPito First Play Through of Mindcraft in fact there 123 of Them.
The Second Focal Topic are Videos Chronicling nana825763 working on/Developing Their Own Horror (Video) Game, and the Videos Show Progress and Updates on Game Development.
Above All nana825763 Posts Their Contact Information for Their Website, Twitter Account, and there is Even an E-Mail Address.
True at the VERY Bottom of nana825763’s Video List there a Handful of Unconventional Videos, There is NOTHING remotely Close to USERNAME:666 or the Other Type of Video Content that 666 was Know for Posting. In Fact this Time We had A Great Deal of Trouble Locating the Copy USERNAME:666 that was Posted, and We’re Guessing Started the Whole Hypothesis in the First fucking Place.
Now it has been Pointed Out that in the USERNAME:666 it begins with Someone Franticly Refreshing YouTube with the URL YouTube.com/666 typed in the Title Bar as if Referencing the Termination of 666’s Channel. Again this More Than Likely Led to the Belief that nana825763 could be or is 666 using a Different Name to Avoid YouTube’s Ever-changing Bullshit.
In The End We have pretty much Deducted that The Reason 666’s Controversial YouTube Channel was Terminated. As YouTube Developed onLine it instituted New and Stricter Rules pertaining to Uploaded Content, and Some Douchebag Reported 666 so YouTube Terminated Their Channel/Account. As Far as Knowing or Discovering Who is 666, Where They Are, and What They’re Up To Remains as Big a Mystery as Ever. It seemed Appropriate to Post the USERNAME:666 Video Below so that way No One has to Jump Around between this Post and the Original Post.
FYB is Proud to Present Another Kick Ass Animation by Duo Known as Cool 3D World Titled These Things That We Do. This Particular Animated Video and Music were Solely Done By Brian.
Cool 3D World Backstory:
When Brian and popcorn10 (as Their Youtube Handles Title them) were Introduced via Mutual Friends, They realized They shared an Interest in Exploring “Visual Art Inspired by Electronic Music” and so Cool 3D World was Born- as a Place where the Duo can Create “Art, Music, and More! All in 3D.”
Video Synopsis: This Video seems to Pertain to Human Nature be it Good, Bad, or Absolutely Indifferent. The Characters within the Video Embody the Full Array of Human Emotions from Blissful Joy (For Example: Dancing Like No Ones Watching) all the Way to Anger at the Opposite Side of the Spectrum (For Example: Anger with a Significant Other). This is Humanity and We are All Too Human.
A Slew of Micky Animations from the 1930’s that were set to be Released on DVD a few Years Ago, BUT One Cartoon Wasn’t Shown to even the Most Die Hard Disney Fan. The Withheld Animation is just a Continuum of Micky Walking down the Street and continues for 2 or 3 Minutes before Cutting too Black. The Micky featured in the Cartoon was Not the Jolly, Happy-Go-Lucky Mickey We’ve all come to Love, He doesn’t Dance, Laugh, or Even Smile. Mickey simply Walks Down the Street with His Head Tilted from Side to Side keeping His Eyes on the Ground. The Cartoon’s Soundtrack isn’t an Actual Song as Per Usual, but it’s a Constant Banging on the Keys of a Piano for approximately a Minute and a Half before transitioning into White Noise for the Rest of the Film.
Up until 1 Year or So Ago, People believed that the Video Ended when the Screen Went Black, but as it Turned Out that wasn’t the Case. When Leonard Maltin was Reviewing the Video to put in the Compilation Series He decided it was Too Morbid for The Release on DVD, But He wanted a Digital Copy as it was a Creation of Walt Disney. When Maltin had the Digitized Version on His Computer He Noticed Something Odd and Interesting. The Cartoon’s Actual Running Time was Minutes and 4 Seconds Long making it Approximately 6 Minutes and 4 Seconds Longer than Anyone Even Knew.
Upon Further Examination Maltin Discovered that the Screen went Black and Stayed Black until the 6 Minute Mark when it Returned to Micky Walking Down the Street, But the Soundtrack was Vastly Different this Time. The Bizarre New Version of the Soundtrack was what seems to be a Ragged Scream that Became Stronger and more Indistinguishable over the Course of the Next Minute. The Picture begins to Thin as the Road Starts to go in Directions that Seem Impossible Based on the Physics of Micky’s Walking. At the 7 Minute Mark there is a Blood Curdling Scream that Lasts an Entire Minute in Duration as The Film Becomes Darker.
The Cartoon then exhibits a Sickening Color Palit (that seems Impossible for the Time Period) appears as Micky Starts to Twist and Contort with His Eyes Ending Up on His Chin, and His Smile Pointing to the Left Side of HIs Face. The Buildings begin to become Irregular in Appearance, Turn to Rubble, and Float in Mid Air while the Road Twists and Turns even More. At the 8 Minute Mark the Blood Curdling Scream Suddenly Stops and the Cartoon Cuts to the Face of Mickey Mouse that traditionally appears at the Credits of Every Micky cartoon. There was Another Soundtrack Switch which Sounds a lot like a Broken Music Box Playing for 30 Seconds. Unperturbed Maltin exited the Studio and sent an Underling Employee in to Finish Watching the Cartoon as Well as Note Taking chronicling the Events of the Rest of the Cartoon.
Due to a Mysterious Circumstances No One Knows What the Last 30 Seconds of the Cartoon actually Contain. You see The Employee Maltin Assigned to Finish the Viewing Staggered Out of the Studio (once the Cartoon was Over) Muttering “Real Suffering is Not Known.” precisely 7 Times before Grabbing a Security Guard’s Gun and Killing Himself Right then and There. The Deceased Employee left a bunch of Scribbled Notes with a Russian Phrase that Roughly Translates into “The Sights of Hell Bring its Viewer Back In.
This Little Bit of Creepy Footage was Allegedly Found Lurking Somewhere on The Dark Web.
The Video Starts with Someone Switching Off a Light Switch, and then the Viewer Can See a Humanoid Creature Barely Visible sitting in Almost Pitch Blackness. There is Absolutely No fucking Context Here so What is Going On and What it May Be are Limited Only by Your Own Imagination. Was The Creature a Ghoul, Ghost, Mutant, Monster, Alien, Devil, Demon, Inter Dimensional Being, or a Person Person Who the Hell Knows.
In The Desert I Saw a Creature, Naked, Beastial, Who, Squatting Upon the Ground Held His Heart in His Hands, And Ate of It. I said,”Is it Good, Friend?” “It is Bitter Bitter,” He Answered “But I like It Because it is Bitter, And Because it is My Heart.” By Stephen Crane (1871-1900)
“In the Desert” is the Name given to the Poem Above by American Author Stephen Crane Published in 1895 (by Copeland & Day) as a Part of His Collection, The Black Riders and Other Lines. “In The Desert” is the Third of Fifty-Six Short Poems (all of Which Simply go by Number without actual Titles) that comprise ‘The Black Riders’. Crane is Most Recognized as the Author of the Famous American Novel The Red Badge of Courage.
When Crane’s Poems were Published, He was Harshly Criticized for the Unusual Form of His Poems, and that He had Some Nerve in Presenting these “Disjointed Effusions” and Daring to call them Poetry. The First Brutal Reviews Denounced Crane’s The Black Riders as Nothing Short of “Artless and Barbaric.”
In His Correspondence with a Particular Editor of Leslie’s Weekly in 1895, Crane professed that He Preferred The Black Riders to His Iconic American Novel The Red Badge of Courage. Crane Wrote “I, suppose I ought to be Thankful to ‘The Red Badge,’ but I am much Fonder of My little book of poems, ‘The Black Riders’. My Aim was to Comprehend in it the thoughts I have had about Life in General, while ‘The Red Badge’ is a mere Episode in Life, an Amplification.”
