Jon Stewart on Virginia Tech Shooting


Jon Stewart lambasts the media on their coverage of the Virginia Tech shootings. While the incident was certainly tragic I couldn't help but laugh at the idiocy of the media coverage following the event. Thanks Jon, you are a shining beacon of sarcastic wit.

Chad Vader


I can't say it seems to be common knowledge that Darth Vader had a brother named Chad. Instead of ruling the galaxy Chad Vader has his sights set on Empire Market. Yes, Chad is a grocery store manager.

Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar

I've found myself watching this video occasionally and it never ceases to amuse me. The director of the video shot a train ride in France ten times in different light and the video was pieced together from the footage. The video is one long sequence shot out of a train window. The catch is that every element that passes the train is linked to elements of the music. Watch it for a while and you will see what I mean.

Kung Fu Clowns


Ever wonder what clowns do when they aren't entertaining us. Me neither. But if it was as awesome as Kung Fu fighting all day long I would be a lot more interested. Watch for the Matrix style water dodge, I love it!

Jumping - Hand Drawn Animation


Here's a six minute short animation film about jumping. The character starts with small hops but with each jump the leaps increase in height and distance. What's cool about this is that you view the jumps from the character's perspective and every landing has a surprise to go with it.

This animation short is completely hand drawn and consists of over 4000 cells! "Jumping" won the won the Grand Prize at the 1984 Zagreb World Festival of Animated Films.

The Pharcyde: Drop


This is a stellar music video from The Pharcyde for their song Drop. The whole video is done in reverse which makes it very intriguing to watch. I always find these kind of ideas fascinating and this one seems flawlessly done.

Stunt City


It's always nice to see original ideas for advertising products. It you are going to waste our time with your product push at least entertain us right?

So image a world where everyone is a stunt person. Where it's commonplace for wheelies, smashed windows, men on fire, and other crazy stunts. Oh...and no one gets hurt.
