RoboGeisha!

Oh my. I don’t know where to begin, so I’m going to toss out some things at you:

Armpit katana | ass sword | face chainsaw | acidic lactation | bust machine gun | geisha tank transform | geisha missile | shrimp dagger

If you think any of these make good ingredients for a movie, then you’re going to love Noboru Iguchi’s scifi/horror/comedy flick RoboGeisha about a bunch of beautiful fembots that can kill you dead with an assortment of “interesting” weapons. The trailer is totally outrageous, hilarious, grotesque, and bizarre – see it below [probably NSFW].

What did you think – is it made of awesome or predictably Japanese? Drop us a comment.

Creative Products Ads You May Not Have Seen

As seen in the previous post, there are some supremely creative people out there. As part of the unwashed not-so-creative masses, it’s inspiring to see the imaginative content that can be made. This holds true for advertising – I have become desensitized to it, and try to avoid all the bland, run-of-the-mill stuff. However, these incredible examples of product advertisements from deviantART that you might not have seen give you an idea on how creative advertising can be.

Tiger Beer Energy

Playstation 3

Nike Environment Protection

Nikon D300

Bacardi

Adidas

Purdy Wallpapers to Brighten Your Desktop #2

Today has been a total non-starter for me. After a night of pool and beer, I’m a touch unstable. Case in point, I nearly fell off the toilet just a few moment ago! But to my defence, the seat had somehow come loose, aiding to the unpleasant meeting of my head and the faux marble wall. Luckily the contents of my bowel stayed put during the unexpected event. But I digress.

After our previous post on purdy wallpapers to brighten your desktop, I thought another one would be appropriate. So see below for some fantastical widescreen wallpaper.

Darth Vader and the Romantic Subplot

Just a few days ago we featured some cool illustrations of the fearsome Darth Vader. Whilst he may have been an imposing figure and found your lack of faith to be disturbing, Vader was lightweight when it came to flirting with the ladies.

This character flaw can be seen when he falls in love with a female co-worker at a staff briefing. He makes a total hash of it, excuses himself, and ends up in the ladies toilet. Check it out below.

How embarrassing was that?

Your Shot at Fame: World Mouse Clicking Championship

Fancy yourself as clicker? Do people call you the King of Click? Well then my friend, fame is just a couple of clicks away! The Universal Record Database is running the World Mouse Clicking Competition – a throroughly useless game that records the most mouse clicks done in 10 seconds.

C. Williams from Fremont, New Hampshire, was the first to click his way to notoriety with 104 clicks in the allotted 10 seconds, a new world record at the time. Two days later, on June 22d, Ben Hughes from Great Manchester, England topped that score with a smashing 121 clicks!

If you’ve got the talent head over to the official World Mouse Clicking Competition site and give it a try. Limp clickers need not apply.

I couldn’t get more than 68 clicks. How did you do?

I Wear no Underwear

If there’s one thing you wish you hadn’t known about me, it is that I am easily aroused. Many uncomfortable moments were experienced in crowded buses but let’s not get into that. Anyways, I had a point to make here, but have forgotten it now as I get easily aroused distracted.

In this animation, I Wear No Underwear, from Nico Casavecchia , it seems the bottomless girls at One Eye Jack pack a bit of a surprise. Check it out below. It’s SFW.

Blue Eyes Meets Bed Stuy

Frank Sinatra and Notorious B.I.G. together would seem like an unlikely duo considering their styles of music but DJ Cappel and Smitty decided to blend Sinatra’s blues with Big Poppa’s rhymes. The mashups were bundled together into the album aptly titled “Blue Eyes Meets Bed Stuy.”

Here’s a couple of tracks taken off the album.

Hypnotize / Little Green Apples

Juicy / New York, New York

10 Crack Commandments / Fools Rush In

What did you think – did you find this quite awesome or a bit of a perversion? Or were you totally indifferent? Drop us a comment.

Red Rabbit

Red Rabbit is a brilliantly animated 8-minute short film by 3D artist Egmont Mayer and tells the tale of a man who lived all alone in his small apartment, until one day a rabbit suddenly appeared. Not knowing whether pets were allowed in the building, the man doesn’t let anyone into his apartment, and over the years the rabbit has grown quite large – like a habit one would say ;-)

See Red Rabbit below of watch it in HD at Vimeo.
