Flash Forward (and back)

A must-see mash-up of Getty Images material by KDnC affiliate David Hopkinson: outstanding even by his high standards!

Everything is OK – keep shopping

Some inspired public pranks to comment on the security state and consumer culture, while promoting public hugs. Aaaaaaaah! The compilation below has been put together from these videos.

The stupidity isn’t homeopathic

If you can make it all the way through this video, you’re tougher than I am. I can take stupidity, but not in such a toxic concentrated doseage.

Thanks Ruth for the pointer.
Update: Pharyngula reports that Dr Werner is using legal threats to try and have the video taken offline (ha, good luck with that).

Speak like you mean it (VIDEO)

Poet Taylor Mali speaks out against the “aggressively inarticulate generation” (for just under 3 minutes). Ronnie Bruce accompanies the audio with delightful animated typography. The result is eloquent, absorbing and diverting.

Erotic fantasies about Garfield (NSFW)

An epic troll of the Yahoo Answers forums! Explicit sexual prose (describing violence, self-harm and… and… OMG it’s Garfield!) written with an admirable ear for language. This dark but hilarious prank walks a very fine line.

Is it hot in this coffin, or is it just you?

Images of semi-naked women sell cars and newspapers, right? So why not coffins as well? That must have been the thinking behind Lindner’s advertising campaign, with – awesome – results.

Zombie Pin-up Calendar

Cassetteboy is back – woo yay! – this time editing the BNP leader’s recent BBC Question Time appearance.

A true hero

86-year-old WWII veteran Philip Spooner has become an instant national hero in the states for his contribution to a debate on gay marriage in Maine. Worth viewing in a week when hateful politics have been much in the news. (via MetaFilter and BoingBoing)

Symphony of Science

In the style of Autotune the News, this mashup sets Carl Sagan, Neil DeGrasse Tyson and others to music. Thanks Alex for the recommendation.
