token Blogathon do-gooder post

I promised the lovely man who bought me lunch that I’d post something that would warm the cockles of somebody’s heart today, and since none of my friends have any heart-cockles at all, I’m going to have to scatter my posts pretty widely in hopes of hitting a soft-cockle-hearted person, so here’s a moving video about recycling.

Enjoy.

Thrills! Spills! It’s positively electric(al)!

Hmmm, I thought I was Bart? Mind you, this fits.


You Are Krusty the Clown


You were the class clown as a kid, and you still entertain people.

From faking your own death to getting a wacky boob job, you’ll do anything for a laugh.

You will be remembered for: your face being everywhere, from cereal to home pregnancy tests

Your life philosophy: “I heartily endorse this event or product.”

an antidote to clotted sanctimony

of which there has been an excess on teh intarwebs this week. This should blow that right out of the water; a little video from the creators of the Spongmonkeys and their smash hit “We Like The Moon” this one could perhaps be described as a type of hedgehog-based performance art thesaurus for low rent porn writers.

Do I need to tell you? NSFW.

Especially if you turn the volume up very, very loud.

At Your Service

Ever wondered how those swanky hotels manage to be so irritatingly perfect all the time? It takes people like this, and if you think this is exaggerated, you’ve spent your work life in places with lower standards.

“At Your Service” is a fast ride of traditional 2D animation (composited in Adobe AE) with a new character from Michael Jantze, creator of “The Norm” comic strip. Mr. Lux is only happy when he delivers five-star service to his hotel guests. This LXR Hotel orientation film was an official selection of Festival de Cannes 2008 Short Film Corner and winner of three Create Awards 2008. More at http://jantze.com

You can tell that’s translated from swanky French by the word “composited,” which to Canadian ears sounds like it was fished out of the bin in the garden, along with several exotic species of mushrooms. Which we do not rule out entirely.
