As promised, here is the second Sony Bravia commercial. Instead of thousands of rubber balls, this one involves thousands of gallons of exploding paint! Does it make you want to buy a television?

250,000 rubber balls were released on a street in San Francisco during the filming of this commercial, and what is it for? A television… Stay tuned tomorrow for the even more ridiculous and even more impressive follow-up commercial!

The Brick Testament
categories: Art, Crazy, Pics

I’ve never been much into reading the Bible. When given a choice between a) Tivo and burning in the eternal lake of fire, or b) reading a really long book with lots of names, Tivo wins every time. But now thanks to The Brick Testament I can enjoy the most violent lessons of the Bible in easy to follow LEGO format. And as an added bonus I am no longer condemned to eternity in Hell! (right?)

The Sheep Market
categories: Art

The sheep market is a collection of 10,000 sheep created by workers on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. Each worker was paid $.02 (US) to “draw a sheep facing left.”

It all makes perfect sense once you look at the site. Perfect nonsense.

Eiffel Tower Lookout Panorama
categories: Art, Pics

This amazing Quicktime VR image from the second level observation deck of the Eiffel Tower means you’ll never have to go to France. Thank goodness! You can choose from more panoramas in the upper right corner, but I don’t have time for that. I have freedom fries to eat.

Rejected Cartoons

In the spring of 1999, the Family Learning Channel commissioned animator Don Hertzfeldt to produce promotional segments for their network. The cartoons were completed in five weeks. The Family Learning Channel rejected all of them upon review, and they were never aired…

Flash Animation Fights Back

Gary Slossen was in the process of creating another mediocre Flash animation when suddenly, and completely inexplicably, the animation came to life and tried to escape the confines of his monitor! Did Gary manage to destroy the animated horror, or was he devoured alive? Watch and find out.
