Here’s another one of those Tab Cola commercials from the 70’s early 80’s (previously). Same premise:
Genius!

There might be a problem in your country, but in this particular case, it’s a lack of basic science—I hate to encourage people laughing at someone that doesn’t know what they’re talking about, but it’s too good to resist when she announces that “this didn’t happen 20 years ago!”

A short video showing the entertaining robot, Titan.
From the website:
Titan the robot is the new and unique entertainment concept that has taken the United Kingdom by storm. Titan is equally at home in almost any arena and switches from street theatre to corporate hospitalty with ease. In fact the events Titan has previously appeared at have spanned almost every possible genre including large outdoor events, product launces, celebrity partes, trade shows, shopping centres, music festivals, fashion shows, and even several TV appearances and has even been used in a national advertising campaign by one for the UK’s largest holiday companies.
Titan’s allure spans all age groups, ethnic backgrounds and languages, he really does have a universal appeal; we have yet to find an event where Titan doesn’t fit in.

Good Magazine produced this politically charged, entertaining, and interesting youtube video about the state of the world, our demands for oil, and the dramatic increases to the cost of living in a world thirsty for energy.
If we’re addicted to oil, our twelve-step program should begin with admitting that we have a problem. As the price of oil creeps higher, finding new energy sources is more important than ever. But the search for alternatives, combined with environmental disruptions, is putting new pressures on other essentials like food. There are some things that are going well in the world. Right now, the economy is not one of them.

Musician Chris Blake googled the words “biggest regret” and pasted the funny, charming, and interesting results into a new music video.
Yay, it’s my new video for “Someone Else!”
The funny thing is we were actually in the middle of pulling together a video for “Phantom Love” when I started fiddling around with this one. Since I didn’t need to shoot any new footage, it only took a few hours. Total cost: $28!

My biggest regrets revolve around procrastinating, including, not explaining further what I mean specifically right now because I’ll get to it later. Seriously, I’m hopeless.

Do you STILL love the Beatles? Then you will love this interview with John Lennon (that you haven’t heard before).
In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon’s every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon’s boundless wit, and timeless message.
