Tiger Woods, Derek Jeter and Roger Federer strut their greasy stuff to the Bee Gee's "Staying Alive" in Gillette's "Walk of Gillette" commercial. The TV ad launched on the same day the new Yankee Stadium opened.
Watching the ad left me with the same feeling as when I accidentally ate five pieces of Popeye's fried chicken the other day - oily and a little bit disgusted.
I don't care how many combined kajillions they're worth. They need to close… Continue

This week, engineer Adam Wilson made global headlines by updating Twitter using his brainwaves. "USING EEG TO SEND TWEET" he explained.
Wilson's achievement was actually pretty trivial. He used a system called BCI2000, found in hundreds of laboratories across the globe, that can do the job of a keyboard for any software program. But it was significant precisely because it was trivial: mind-reading tech is going to have a massive impact… Continue

British artist, Lora, has a website you could easily spend hours getting lost in. One look at her picture and you'll be surprised to find that the artist behind this work is in fact a young girl who has a lot to say. You have to wonder if she was inspired by artists like Banksy, there's an underling theme of social unrest and a rejection of mass commercialism in her… Continue

Why does he do it? According to him it's because "there is no better way to be a tourist than by gently floating by the… Continue
How long do you think it would take to build a 200,000 LEGO brick model of the legendary Japanese Warship, Yamato? It took Jumpei Mitsui six years and four months to create the warship, which is built at a scale of 1/40, weighs over 330 pounds (150kg), measures 21 feet (6.6m) from bow to stern, and is 3 feet (1m) wide at the widest point of the ship. I bet Jumpei's mom… Continue

Here's a sweet, short film that combines artist James Jarvis' passion for running with his signature potato-headed stick-man figures. Jarvis approached Nike with this idea instead of the other way around, making it more about the art than the Nike brand.
As Jarvis states, "I was talking to a friend at Nike, Kerry Shaw, about this idea and, given the… Continue

You get something as artistic and wild as this music video called “Everytime” by Oi Va Voi. If you were wondering if this was a laborious project it was! The low-budget music video… Continue
