Is this food art, a gross meal, or both? Would you eat it? And are you supposed to eat food art anyway? Maybe the beauty is in the taste alone… bleh.
Take dried spaghetti, jam into hot dog and boil.
Ketchup? Mustard?
Anyway, there’s more, with colored spaghetti and full sized wieners. I admire the creativity here. Read more »
Audio only. But it’s short and it’s worth it. This terribly uniformed woman calls 911 because she doesn’t know how to unlock her car door from the inside.
Really, the dispatcher is quite nice about the whole thing.
This definitely falls in the category of WTF. Still, I want to comment.
I’m pretty sure this video is advocating beatings of children, although it’s possible I might have missed the message of “Magical Martial Arts.”
The part where the crazy man punches at the kids at home while screaming duck is my favorite. But a close second is the editing; Walter Murch would be jealous! So are Fred and Sharon. What’s your favorite part? And … Read more »
Too much is not enough for some people.
This is a man who sees opportunities, not obstacles. Who has a passion for sharing the music he loves. This is a man with a misunderstanding of how rocket cars work!
As i see the most of the speakers are at least 100-200W and the biggest are 500W+.
So in this car have more than 3 000W RMS power!
Um, awesome. What the hell does that even mean?
Here’s a sick concept car dreamed up by (insane?) designer Loren Kulesus for Cadillac‘s 100th birthday. It’s called the World Throrium Fuel Vehicle … right the WTF! So, he says, he wanted to make a car that would last another 100 years.
This vehicle was designed with high-quality materials that are build [sic] to resist 100-years of daily use. There are redundancies built for all the major systems of the vehicle so even if something were to fail on the vehicle it would continue to function. This is why the vehicle has 24 wheels with individual internal induction motors. The vehicle would require the tires to be adjusted every 5 years, but no material would need to be added or subtracted.
In the pic, you can see that each wheel is really six separate parallel wheels. Pretty smart really.

And this counts as high art mind you!
Ralph Borland. Suited for Subversion Prototype. 2002. Nylon-reinforced PVC, padding, speaker, and pulse reader.
Does it have a function? We’re not sure, but if it has a speaker AND a pulse reader there must be something you can DO with it, right??? Maybe not. Who cares. Look at him!
We have to visit the MoMA to explore further.
I stumbled across one of these and it hit me that, like barbies, people must use Legos for all sorts of twisted proxy fantasies.
Legos: bringing out imagination in curious kids, twisted teens and unbalanced businesses since 1932.
Exhibit A:
We’ll start with the least disturbing … The Lego Concentration Camp.
Lego Concentration Camp by Zbignew Libera
This is part of a larger series of oft-disturbing art projects (some toys, some potpourri) spanning a few decades. See plenty more pics here, of this particular achievement including a deftly made replica box of the set and what I think is a gas chamber, but I can’t really tell. I wonder if the artist shop drops these kits into unsuspecting toy stores. Imagine stumbling across this pick-me-up while Christmas shopping; “Mommy, I want that. What’s a concentration camp?” Sweet!
Exhibit B:
Lego Porn
So this is one of the least disturbing of the Lego Sex Tapes floating in the sordid interwebs. For those of you who are piqued by this taste of the genre, here’s a whole playlist devoted to (mostly foreign) attempts to make you vomit/aroused with Legos.
There was one video so foul I can’t even post it without feeling dirty. However, being a booster of up and coming filmmakers, and since it is, technically speaking, a quality production, I still linked to it. I’ll just say that it involves horses, monkeys, KY, and a full Lego porn theater complete with sketchy Lego-men in the seats. So … watch it if you dare. Oh, how video talent manifests in the You Tube age.
Exhibit C:
Save Your Corporation with Lego Consultants!
Lego Serious Fun, the next McKinsey and Co.
The common language – the bricks – treats everyone as equals and allows all opinions and aspects to be heard.
Business owners, this one’s for you. Lego Serious Play is a business consulting division of Lego. Not kidding. I assume this came about like this: some high paid consultant visits Lego HQ to help them expand markets beyond 12 year-olds, after a few trust exercises and focused brainstorming the scammed Lego President says, “we can do that.” And the hoodwinking chain rattles on.
Another excerpt from the business pitch:
LEGO SERIOUS PLAY will guide you into free and honest exchange of opinion. The physical and tangible construction allows for you to have conversations to flow without the fear of treading on personal feelings.
I’m sold!
BONUS: Official Lego fact sheet PDF. Lots of trivia of no use to anyone. But, you read this far so, clearly you’re bored.
DOUBLE BONUS: George Lucas has noticed this international obsession with Legos and made a high quality video game.
I love Fred and Sharon movies. Their pacing and pure unpredictability keeps me captivated, nearly stunned. Especially this one, presumably an actual ad for a real aspiring director.
For some reason there is a mad scientist scene, a random health care related chase, twirling and flying animation and a macing followed by hugging.
This is what happens when you mash honestly creative ideas with complete technical ineptitude, then banish any and all self-criticism (or quality control). Who would have thought doing a stand-up in front of a green screen of yourself behind you would work so well?
Kudos to Fred and Sharon!
Since this is a new blog, here are some old classics I would have posted about when they happened.
ABSURD DELIGHT IN ACTION: … or at least wanton disregard for conformity.
Human Mirror - Twins, lots of them, on a subway.
Public Sculpture Tackle - athletic attacks on public art, in photo and video.
Take the time to click the link and read the wonderfully written propagansa on Tactical Ice Cream … whimsy meets rage in a delicious, ninja-inspired, art project.
Here’s an article on all sorts of whimsical Ice Cream trucks. Why do I capitalize “Ice Cream”?
VIDEO:
And then this gem was a foundation funded local TV program (I think). Think Sesame Street crossed with math class on acid. Notable moments include wizards rapping, graffiti filmed in reverse and gratuitous fat kid humiliation. It’s educational people!
More of this ilk to come soon. Send on suggestions.
I love love LOVE! these filmmakers.
It’s presumably an ad for a font, an actual font you can buy for $8.95 whatever that means, but there’s random animation of a sea monster, a love poem and a talking alien.
Think how long it must have taken to make the animation, but they didn’t take the time to memorize three lines of dialogue?!?! Brilliant allocation of resources.
BONUS: click through to their You Tube channel for more of these, and don’t forget to read the comments. Sometimes Fred writes back.
