This is totally awesome/weird/hypnotising. Muto is an animation by Italian graffiti artist BLU and is painted on public walls in Buenos Aires and in Baden (fantoche).
And here’s a small gallery of the frankly very odd things he’s painted on walls in different parts of the world.

We’ll know tomorrow if Team Onelargeprawn has made it into the next round of the SA Blog Awards. In the meantime, here are some links.
Woohoo! I completely loved the first Perfect Balance game. Lucy Furr wasn’t impressed but that’s because she busy smoking fags and chasing your boys when she should have been attending physics class. Ah, but I digress.
In the latest version of the physics puzzle game by ttursas, aptly titled New Trials, you rotate and stack shapes once again in the pursuit of perfect balance. There are 30 new frustrating levels!

After creating a violin-playing robot, a teacher robot, and a fashion model she-bot, the Japanese scientists were happy with the part they are playing in the forthcoming robot apocalypse. They had some time to mess around so they hooked these four chaps up to a battery and made their faces dance.

I love my sleep and can usually drown out most distractions – the snoring, sounds of gunfire, the kitties trying to get under the sheets. The sweet sounds of the alarm clock and delicate aroma of cooking oats that I usually wake up to got replaced with wailing police sirens and choking smoke. I thought I woke up in someone else’s nightmare but the situation is all too real.
Cape Town’s ablaze, the mountain is dotted with fires, residents in Vredehoek have been evacuated, and I’ve been sneezing like a motherfucker. Altogether not a very happy situation.
Here are some pics.

More than a 100 fire-fighters are busy battling the blaze that apparently began in area of bush and grass on Table Mountain behind the University Of Cape Town and near Vredehoek. Three firefighters have been injured thus far. Our hearts go out to the people and animals affected by the blaze.
See more images at Imod, read the news story at News24 and IOL, and keep up with the Tweets.
Update: So it’s a few hours later and the fire carries on. Ash is all over the place, and four helicopters are flying through the smoky skies. Feels like I’ve smoked a carton of ciggies. Euch. Here’s a quick snap from my house.
According to the latest article on News24, two bergies sustained third degree burns, five firefighters were injured, 60 people were evacuated, no property had been damaged, and De Waal drive will be closed for most of the day.

Because purchasing that pack of extra-ribbed, glow-in-the dark, strawberry-scented condoms can be an awkward, paranoia-filled experience, it makes perfect sense that condom advertisements would be equally as strange.
Spike breaks down the top 10 strangest condom ads around the world. Here are three of my favourites:
Scare Tactics
Unprotected sex can have deadly consequences and Argentinean condom maker Tulipan presses that point their “Be Careful” campaign depicting gratuitous skeleton sex.
Bollywood Condom Movie
In India, condom ads are delivered in such a way to have mass effect – by song-and-dance! In this epic 7-minute commercial, four grown men dressed up in coloured condom suits traipse across the lands with their troop of backup dancers, singing and dancing about the “ever useful friend to you”.
Bunny in a Jar
From Spain comes an ad for Control Adapta condoms. From the look of it, these condoms come with so much lube one could possibly use the excess to stuff a bunny in a jar.
Here’s another perfect complement to the death-related Flash game we posted last week. In Death Vs. Monstars, you get to play Death and, unsurprisingly, you like to kill stuff. And in this frantic arena shooter, you’ll be using your guns to down swarms of monsters. As you move, you fire constantly in the opposite direction of your movement, unless you hold the mouse to lock it down. Top up your anger meter and and release an almighty wave of destruction, and collect the coins to upgrade your gats.
