An artistic animation called Muto by Blu
by: Sarah

I know that videos this long are often closed, but seriously this is one to watch. This artist painted on the streets of and Baden. Here is a link to his website where he posted the video, along with all of his other works of art. The amount of work put into these is insane, but art is art.

This video is sort of a mind fuck if you watch it all the way through. Especially if you aren’t in a sober state of mind. Either way, this guy has some interesting art, and was worth posting. Enjoy!

Check out his online sketchbooks, they are just as intense.

Beware Celebrity Endorsement a Tom Hanks film
by: Sarah

Beware celebrity endorsement is right, just because Tom Hanks spoke fancy words doesn’t mean you have to follow his lead. But oddly enough his little moment will help many people decide who to vote for.  Obama has other celebrities backing him up: Oprah Winfrey, Bruce Springsteen and Jessica Alba.

Sex and the City - One blogger’s reaction to Samantha hitting the west coast
by: Sarah

Every once in a while I’ll hit up Google for the latest news on Sex and the City and today I stumbled upon someone who reacted differently than I thought people would to the news of Samantha being a west coast girl.

Here is an excerpt from her blog of why she is upset:

So, Cattrall told Access Hollywood: “Her [Samantha’s] location is now on another coast, so there’s a lot of beige and sunshine, the ‘Golden-Kind-of-Girl’ feeling to it, which my hair and makeup team had a ball with! There’s a lot of suntan lotion, a lot of sparkly stuff, which Samantha revels in.”

Well, this certainly makes sense within the realm of the ending — Samantha is with Smith, who is becoming a big movie star. Naturally, if she stuck with him, she’d be on her way to LA. It also fits into that whole swimsuit scene in the trailer. That being said, there’s a few problems with this. Long-distance friendship was a huge sticky point in the end of the series. So, while it makes sense, it’s hardly the best layout for showing their interconnected friendships.

Well, to put this plainly, Samantha gave up her old ways of life when she told Smith not to have sex with anyone else.

On the other hand, I am extremely excited that Samantha has committed, I know her character is promiscuous, but her actually being happy is fantastic… Especially with the character she did, so bad ass.

Long-distance friendships work, it’s not like a lover relationship, you don’t cheat on one another by making new friends.

Yahoo’s launch of Shine, their new baby for the female community
by: Sarah

Shine.Yahoo.com

Yahoo has launched their new site to a more targeted audience. Yahoo hopes to appeal to the approximately 40 million women ages 25 to 54 that use Yahoo monthly.

Yahoo thinks their categories will appeal to the masses, but when they touch on everything of course they don’t leave much room for anything else.

They cover , for those who wish to remove the zits and the cellulite in one miracle cream. I hate to break it to your fat lazy ass, but eating bon-bons while you smoke a pack of Camel Lights does not help your cellulite issue. Get off your butt and do some work, jog or use the ellipticals you bought last year when you were hopeful, it doesn’t matter, working out is good for you, do it.

, because most people consult the internet before they ask a doctor what is right. is another one of their categories since everyone needs to pry into the celebrities lives. goes along side the doctor thing, people would rather than ask their mother or mother-in-law. is a huge target group, women in general are either sad, happy, happy in love, in a bad relationship, having sex, loving sex, hating their sex lives and want better ones… so either way you turn, Love and Sex is the way to go. , for those who want to make a quick buck, save their cash for that Bermuda trip or just hate their job. and are a couple of goodies, I always like new recipes and ways to organize better, even if I don’t. is bogus, but people believe that and love it. Ah yes, , one category that will actually be interesting. Speak Up is their community section, where people can voice their opinion, much like I do here.

LeBron James and Gisele on the cover of Vogue seen as King Kong
by: Sarah

Lebron James Gisele Vogue
LeBron James and Gisele on the cover of Vogue

King Kong Movie Poster
King Kong movie poster, LeBron and Gisele?

I watched a tiring seven minute long video on MSN today about the Vogue magazine cover. I learned a few things, Vogue has been around for over 100 years, that LeBron James is the first black man to grace the cover and there were only 4 black women prior to him. The cover is controversial now due to the fact that some people, bloggers, are comparing the image to a King Kong photo of a gorilla holding a damsel in distress.

So that whole business with LeBron James and the King Kongish photo with the beautiful super model Gisele on the cover of Vogue is completely asinine. The argument of the bloggers out there is that the image just caters to the stereotypes against blacks. Pfft, who thinks about that when they look at the cover of a very famous athlete and a beautiful woman? He is simply doing what he does best, holding a beautiful woman, dribbling a basketball and showing some excitement. So for those out there who think otherwise you sound completely ignorant. Have a nice day.

Love the photo Vogue, A+ LeBron and Gisele.

I Love My Mac Music Video
by: Sarah

This “lovely young woman Tonya” was featured on BoingBoing yesterday for her “I love my Mac” music video.  The blogger over there had said:

Speaking as a daily Mac user myself, kudos to this lovely young woman Tonya who has completely captured the ethos and spirit of the average Mac user. Mac users can be dorky, too, haters!

To be quite honest though, I am a daily Mac user and the first thing that came to mind is, “how obnoxious it is for other Mac users to beat that stereotype.”   I take my Mac nearly everywhere, but I definitely don’t act like an ass in the process.  Granted, my Mac is better than the Windows options, but that is my opinion.  I cannot stand those Mac users who think they are higher than thou just because they have a Mac.  On top of that, who wants to be known for being dorky?

The Church of Insanity, online confessionals at its craziest
by: Sarah

The Church of Why Do Men Have Nipples?

Wow, I never thought I would read something so asinine, so disgusting and unappealing as the website I ran across today.

I was on CNN and stumbled on a article titled, Forgive us father, we’d rather go online. At first I was intrigued to think about how these people are using the Internet for a better resource than for just news and porn. But after visiting the site and reading some [a lot] of the confessions I grew more and more disgusted.

Not all were bad, but a lot of people were confessing their sins for having premarital sex, watching porn, masturbation, cheating, lying, ect. But when I got to this one in particular, my first thought was, “this person is nuts.”

Oh boy, here comes the crazy:

I screwed up my relationship with God. I love God, but I use to put my ex- above Him. I would get so excited to see this person, I would get butterflies everytime before we would meet, even after years of knowing this person. I loved that person so much, giving them everything I had; my time, my resources, my effort…but in the end, it wasn\’t enough. That person left me. Not the first time either thy has left me. God is a jealous God. He will take things away that hinders our relationship with Him. Since then, my only priority is Him. I worship Him, I pray several times a day, I constantly talk about Him, I serve numerous ministries, I truly love Him with my all; mind, heart, and soul; intentions, money/people, and talent. God longs to be longed, and He seeks to be sought. Never will I make the mistake again of placing something made of flesh over Him. I love that person still, and miss them dearly, but I will stay in faith that God has His divine ways of doing things. I give that person over to God. Sometimes God takes things away, in order to give us more. I will try to let God do the steering, for I know He will take care of me if an accident occurs. If I drive, I am the only one liable if an accident happens. I love you, Jesus, who will now be my 1st love hence forth.

Now, after reading that, how many of you agree with that person? How many of you are thinking that individual is completely insane?

This is the real world folks. You can’t depend on an imaginary friend to hold your hand through everything in life. The Bible is just a book, you don’t see people out there in The Church of now do you?

The Onion Presents: Eco-friendly Options for the Iraq War
by: Sarah

The Onion is one of my favorite parody-based Internet news sites. Their stuff is outrageous and hilarious. This short is about President Bush trying to make the Iraq War more eco-friendly. The suggestions made are multiple countries carpooling to combat, making aircrafts out of balsa wood that will burn up if it is shot down, testicular squeezing instead of electrical testicular torture.

I totally agree, torture should never be wasteful. With the carpool, you’ll cut down on harmful emissions in our atmosphere. The balsa wood planes would burn up and create no waste. Even Leslie suggests, “clean coal-powered testicular electrocution,” but her colleague is one step ahead with wind-powered that will “deliver the same shock to the testies.”

Let’s “green” up the world.

In The Know: How Can We Make The War In Iraq More Eco-Friendly?

Padded lampposts not for the crazy, but for the texters
by: Sarah

padded_postI know it is dangerous to text while you drive, but is it really that dangerous to do while you walk?  I read over on Engadget about the people in Brick Lane, London having padded lampposts to shield their noggins when they walk into them.  Apparently 1 out of 10 people have actually injured themselves when they hit the lampposts while texting.

That sounds a little pathetic if you ask me.  I text a lot, almost non-stop at times and I walk just fine.  If the padded lampposts end up helping prevent injury, “there are plans to roll out the idiot-proof system in Birmingam, Manchester, and Stupidton.”
