Match.com’s new ad on being in pairs. Other than it pushing (hetero?) couples culture super duper hard, it’s hella cute!
Shit We’re Diggin: Friends With You’s “Better Together” for Match.com wooster collective
How could I forget this short animation?
I’m fairly certain this was shown at the 2007 Siggraph, and that I saw it and shared with my friends at the University of Illinois’ showing of it on the Engineering campus. Directed by Tomek Baginski, made in 2005, part of the Future Shorts group.
Reminded by Quinn, who my butt would call often and hang up on with my old phone.
Very awesome to see them out of character, but I’m still pissed about what happened. STILL PISSED, MISTER WRITER. Story-wise, great, but AUGH. Not saying anything to spoil it for the stragglers.
Thanks J… again.

Some folks put their money on celebrity faces and documented them. Some of them are eerily smooth, others are just silly. Here’s the captain with a lady face:
I don’t know who did all these as the original site is in French, but you can see more of the money faces as well as the sleeved faces there.

Jeffrey Thomas decided the Disney princesses needed some jazzing up, comic book style. So he did. Here’s a few of my favorites, cropped. You can see them in full as well as the rest at his blog o art.
While some of them are just the characters drawn with grimaces and lack pupils, others are freaking creepy, like Cinderella. Jesus Christ.

“SPECIAL EDITION” NEW YORK POST from The Yes Men on Vimeo.
The Yes Men made a mock special edition of the New York Post reporting true facts about environmental changes. This video interviews people who have read it and their reaction to it. My favorite part is the “obama socialist environmentalist agenda,” and the guy almost gets schwinned while returning to his giant building.

Gaga began her act prostrate onstage as if crushed by an ornate chandelier and half-staggered, half-danced around as she sang and finished up as blood poured forth from below her breasts. It was a performance, VMA creative director Lee Lodge told MTV News, that was inspired by references as diverse as “Phantom of the Opera,” Madonna, Marie Antoinette, the pope and Jesus.
“Gaga came to the table with the idea that she wanted to perform while she was injured and she wanted to perform with lots of blood,” Lodge said. “And there was always the idea of ‘Phantom.’ Then we had a creative planning meeting and she called in from Jerusalem. She’d just been to Jesus’ tomb and she was very inspired.”
The Holy Land inspiration led her to the idea of ending the performance by metaphorically dying and then being lifted up into the air as if ascending to heaven. “It was supposed to be commenting on the life of celebrity,” he explained. “Even though you see her dying, she’s going to a much better place.”
