Look, I don’t like to court contradiction, least of all on the web, but I think I may have accidentally lied to you guys yesterday. I told you that this beer advertisement was the best beer ad that there ever was, and I meant it. I did. But then the internet showed me this.
moonage3, who uploaded this advert by Hahn Brewery, called it the ‘Most EPIC beer commercial EVER.’ Now, the word ‘epic’ is getting a little stale, and nobody likes too many letters in upper case, but just this once I’m in agreement with moonage3. Please. Let Hahn Brewery show you how they put awesome in a bottle.
The Global Commission on Drug Policy has released a report stating that the ‘war on drugs’ has failed. Like Dame Judi Dench and Sting, the 19-member panel – which includes Sir Richard Branson, Kofi Annan and former leaders of Brazil and Mexico – is urging for the decriminalization of drugs. The USA is not amused.
Some people will just always be cool. Take this guy for example – when it comes to making an exit, he’s pretty much nailed it. I love how he manages to hold his beer steady, climb THROUGH the car window one leg at a time without failing, and then drive off nonchalantly into the distance. Now that’s a real boss – respect!
Cats hate water – fact – but clearly no one told the one in this video! See how he lounges in a bathroom sink under a stream of running water from the tap. In between expertly washing himself, playing with the water, and occasionally taking sips straight from the stream, he might actually kill you with the cuteness of it all.
Hell. Yes. Filmmaker Jon Gustafsson caught footage of the Grimsvötn eruption – the one that closed all those Icelandic airports and grounded all those planes – from the apparent safey of an Icelandic military helicopter. It looks pretty cool. And I’m very excited to have written that sentence.
Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo, the commercial spaceflight vehicle, recently had its seventh test flight, dropped from a height of 15km to see if it could adjust speed and bearing with various wing configurations. Which sounds technically fancy, but really just looks insanely cool.
June is men’s health month and Britain’s #1 glamour model, Rhian Sugden is in town to raise awareness for testicular cancer. Because she is supporting such an important cause. You can read more about that here. And you can click ‘continue reading’ to watch a video of Rhian doing the weather report in a bikini […]
You guys like water balloons, right? Look outside, of course you do. And slow-motion things are pretty swell. And it’s Friday. So click through, start your weekend right. Seriously though, this isn’t so much a bursting water balloon as an exploding water bed. They’re called red giants.
A couple of videos of young women dancing without shirts at a traditional Thai festival have gone viral – and despite the fact that this festival is one honouring Thai goddesses that are often depicted dancing without shirts, authorities have condemned the act, fining the dancers and threatening the photographer with jail time.
Old Spice has launched a new marketing campaign for its ‘Jungle Wilderness’ scent, featuring a vague parody of manly mascot Isaiah Mustafa. I mean, it’s funny and good but mostly I feel a big ol’ Isaiah Mustafa-shaped vacuum when watching this. Click through, though. Moustaches.
Hello! It’s Friday, everything is awful except this. A German dude who entertains himself by building slingshots and posting videos of them online has built a crossbow that shoots machetes because if you really need a reason to build a machete crossbow, something is broken inside of you. Please, enjoy.
Yesterday, Virgin America held an opening ceremony for their new Terminal 2 at San Francisco International Airport; press were ushered onto a waiting aircraft, and told to keep an eye out for Virgin-Galactic-related-things after takeoff. After about 20 minutes they were asked to look out of their windows, because White Knight 2 and Spaceship 2 were doing fly-byes.
A group of skaters armed with handheld cameras take a run through Christchurch in the aftermath of the magnitude 6.3 earthquake in February. As earthquake-stricken citizens go, they seem pretty optimistic! And the video is very cool-looking too. Take a look.
Well hello there, movie trailer. You’re looking pretty fine. What’s that? You’re a trailer for The Hangover: Part II? Well I guess that’s pretty — and you’re the first full length trailer? Oh, you’re a tease. That’s what you are. I guess that pretty much takes care of the rest of my Friday.
This looks to be pretty rad – a look at the the lives of four photojournalists working in South African townships between 1990 and 1994, based on the book of the same name written by two of the original group. Unfortunate accents aside, the cast and crew are looking pretty rad. Checkit.
This is it – the footage from SKYNEWS that everyone is talking about – showing the most insane visuals of the tragic March 2011 earthquake in Japan. Starting with a solid wall of water out in the ocean, crashing into land and destroying everything in its path; visuals include entire villages getting flattened, aerial views […]
In support of Equal Payday, which seeks to address the disparity between male and female salaries around the world, Benny Benassi has remade the sexy-construction-outfits video for ‘Satisfaction’ to mark International Women’s Day. It’s a little bit amazing. Satisfaction came out in 2002, by the way.
I love Isaiah Mustafa. You love Isaiah Mustafa. But the honeymoon is over, Isaiah, and it’s only right that you show us a little more than your honey-glazed eyes or perfect teeth. Take us behind the curtain; show us how you make the magic happen, commercially.
So hey, if you aren’t up-to-date on the adventures of Charlie Sheen, warlock, this video summarizes it pretty well. There really isn’t that much exaggeration coming from the animators; they’re just displaying Sheen’s claims to possessing “fire breathing fists,” and F-18 – like qualities. Notice the Snow-man.
Most of you will remember the hilarious Airwaves ‘That’s A Bit Extreme” viral videos (here, here and here) that were doing the rounds. But the smoking hot team of angels (Candy Apple and Joy Rider) and McHugeLarge himself, took things to the next level with a competition, giving the public an opportunity to give someone […]
So hey, I think this is the coolest think I’ve seen today – the music video to glam-rapper Spoek Mathambo’s reinterpretation of Joy Division’s ‘She’s Lost Control,’ shot in Langa, Cape Town, and directed by crazy influential photographer Pieter Hugo.
An attempted smash-and-grab at a Northampton jeweler was prevented when a red coated woman started walloping the six armed gang members with her handbag. The would-be-thieves attempted to escape on their scooters, but fell over. And got hit with a handbag again. I’ve seen this movie before.
So some of you may have tried out the Kinect for the Xbox 360. It’s pretty damn awesome, if you don’t mind flailing around like a lunatic in front of the TV. But sometimes the Kinect can go horribly wrong, especially when your kids get in the way…
At an undisclosed location in Hawaii, this guy called Devin Graham – who is known for doing odd things in interesting places, and placing videos on the internet – took an abandoned water reservoir turned it into the world’s most coolest Slip ‘n Slide.
Some frustrated Belgians put together an elaborate, televised prank to get back at unpopular phone company Mobistar by blocking off their office’s parking lot with a steel container that had a fake customer service number printed on it, and putting callers through the nine rings of customer service hell. Also the pranksters were inside the steel container.
Some fantastic footage has recently come to light, showing a 1956 housewife on her first acid trip as part of a drug trial. We all know how stupid people sound when trying to describe their trips – and throw in some 50’s black and white sensibility? Hilarious. She can see all of the molecules, apparently.
It’s pretty good! I mean, as lightsaber-based films go. Also, it’s called ‘3 Minutes’ which is helpful if you want the title to tell you how long a film is. They could’ve called The English Patient ‘Too Goddamned Long,’ for instance. Incidentally, is this what Glee is? Running around with lightsabers? Because then I would understand its appeal.
It’s Friday, you should look at this. A classy young John Lydon walks through London in proto-hipster gear, talking about the disintegration of the Sex Pistols and general punk things. He knew the vibe.
Really. I know that the internet is full of videos of cats doing interesting things or babies falling over or hilarious local news networks, but these are five minutes that will be better spent than making photocopies or getting the Jenkin’s report done or whatever it is you employed people do.
