Smuldowney-150x150

Suzanne Muldowney joins the Martin Luther King Day‚ Jr. Parade
“When the Negro was completely an Underdog‚ he needed white spokesmen. Liberals played their parts in this period exceedingly well…. But now that the Negro has rejected his role as an Underdog‚ he has become more assertive in his search for identity and group solidarity; he wants to speak for himself.”
– Martin Luther King‚ Jr.‚ “Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?‚” 1967

The Spirit of Christmas Past
Sunday‚ Dec. 3‚ 2006

Santa Claus Goes Straight to the Ghetto

ghetto2

“During the holiday season of 1997‚ I had a sudden epiphany while listening to James Brown’s ‘Santa Claus Goes Straight To the Ghetto.’ White Christmas? Bah humbug! Suddenly I had visions dancing in my head‚ not of sugar plums but of billy clubs‚ Rodney King‚ rioting‚ looting‚ and arson. And of a guy dressed in red with a big sack…named Fat Albert! Like Dylan’s lyrics‚ not sure what it all means‚ but here it is … Continue reading

Think Santa Claus is just a fat and jolly old guy? Think again.

Santa’s got a brand new bag – and a posse!
(Note: There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that the woman in this clip is Suzanne Muldowney (aka Underdog Lady) receiving payback from the Santa Claus Anti-Defamation League for saying all those bad things about Santa Claus‚ like that he doesn’t exist and is The Great Deceiver of children the world over.)
The music’s … Continue reading

Atomic TV Talks to Randi Wright

Randi Wright Screenshot

Atomic TV talked to Red Light District 19-year-old porn ingenue RANDI WRIGHT at the 2004 Home Entertainment Retail Convention held in Baltimore’s Convention Center‚ where California gal Randi revealed her love of BUM FIGHTS and said one of her sex scenes was added to the Paris Hilton Sex Tape to make an otherwise lame tape “masturbation-friendly” and give it more bang-for-the-buck. Now that’s a tape we call “hands-on instructional”!

kerry-sable

Atomic TV covered the East Coast Video Show when it moved from Atlantic City and came to Baltimore’s Convention Center – rebranded as the Home Entertainment Retail Expo – in 2004‚ before disappearing completely for a number of years (we think it resurfaced recently as Exxxotic Expo in Edison‚ NJ). Whatever. This is a clip of some of the talent on display‚ from a long abandoned episode that vanished all too quickly. (Kinda like the … Continue reading

“What the Hey?”

“Good morning‚ Mrs. Lady. I’m selling Scout cookies – would you be interested in purchasing a box?”
Discovered by Scott Huffines during his Atomic Books tape-trading days‚ this is easily the strangest stop-motion animation clip we’ve ever seen – or aired. Yes‚ it was originally included as an extra on Atomic TV’s “1997 East Coast Video Show” episode.
Tom loves the disembodied Indian head doll the best; he can’t watch Will Sampson (Chief Bromden in … Continue reading

WHAT IS ATOMIC TV?

Short Answer:
Atomic TV is “A Media Maxi-Pad absorbing the continual flow of Pop Culture.” It is bio-degradable and thus May be flushed down any toilet.
Long Answer:
ATOMIC TV is the red-haired‚ freckle-faced stepchild of Baltimore Public Access TV’s programming family‚ a breech baby painfully squeezed out of the birthing canal of that negligent mother we call City Cable. Cloven-hoofed and horn-rimmed‚ this Hell-spawned birth defect had its butt cheeks dutifully slapped by the attending programming authorities … Continue reading
