Posted on

It’s been a while since i’ve posted some ridiculous videos.  Vol 3 (HERE) were pretty good and i actually did a Vol. 3.5 post over the holidays.  Anyway, without any further delay, here’s Vol. 4.

This is what happens when you bring amateurs into sportscasting:

Iraqi War Video. Animation that's a little too real

Posted on

Yo, check this out. It’s a video about Army infantryman Colby Buzzell’s ambush in Mosul. This event actually happened and this video is produced by PBS. the video is based on a blog entry that Buzzell posted during his Iraq tour — he later wrote a memoir published in 2005 by Putnam — and it originally appeared on the PBS show Operation Homecoming.

Crazy stuff. Makes you really want the war to stop.

White Stripes Coke Commercial

Posted on

I’ve always been a White Stripes fan and i’m also quite a big fan of Michel Gondry.  I never thought either of them would sell out and make a Coke ad.  But the ad is really pretty cool.  The song in the ad is written by Jack White called “Love Is The Truth.” As the song goes, a young woman (who looks like Meg White) walks through a candy-like world where everyone and every animal leaves behind an image of himself or herself. The film is edited by Michel Gondry who i wrote about a few weeks ago (and posted a video of him doing the rubix cube with his feet).

Impressive Pong Skills

Posted on

While i’ll never truly endorse “Beirut” as a legitimate form of pong, i do have to give this guy a lot of credit. Or maybe i should feel bad for him with all the time he must have put in to make this happen. I wish i would have seen more consecutive sinks instead of 1-time shots b/c he could have just sat there for hours trying to get it to work. That said, they are good shots.

For those of you who care, i’m a much bigger fan of beer pong with paddles. This is a game that requires more skill, is more fun to play, and much higher stakes (i.e. more beer).
