Celebrity puppets are usually funnier than their real-life counterparts

Usually when big corporations try to roll out with a new ad campaign, funny comes across as corny and ingenuity looks contrived.

Sometimes, though, big corporations get it right.

Nike seems to have found the magic formula with this commercial:

Kobe + Lebron + Harassing Puppets = I'm buying my first pair of Nikes!

Stairs Collapse at 5PTZ-Artist in Critical Condition

5 Pointz-

This is crazy. It must really suck to walk up some stairs like any other day to have them collapse, to fall three stories, and on top of that have concrete rubble topple on top of you.
I do recall about 6 years ago climbing a super janky ladder to get the roof, they had at least taken that down. Well, let's hope for the best for Nicole Gagne...

Parra Plays for iPhone and iTouch

From Incase:

"Parra Plays, a Free iPhone Game



We’re excited to announce our first game for iPhone and iPod touch, Parra Plays. Based on the Parra artwork from the second installment of the Curated by Arkitip project, the app consists of three games:

Poppers
It’s like a touch screen version of “Whac-A-Mole.” Touch the clouds before they pop! Sounds easy enough, right? Keep playing…

Parrot
Loosely based on “Simon Says,” but with a twist. You think you can break 100? Yeah right!

Pairs
Very similar to the classic “Memory” card game. Uncover the matching cards. The faster you do it, the better your score!

Parra Plays is 100% FREE. No ads, no pop-ups, just fun for days."

Get it here 

Poppers is fun to play in public, especially if you rock back and forth while hitting your iPhone's screen. I'm really digging on Pairs though, I need to get up on my memory games since my memory has seemed to go somewhere or somehow or something.

Dawg Fight trailer

This looks amazing. Can't wait to see this. I do not like violence BUT this is real. If you got that anger in you, channel it in a respectable way. This isn't about sucker punches or ganging up on some dude, this man to man.
I've never wanted to fight for the sake of fight but I've had to hold my own when the situation called for it. And I've also been beaten down by multiple gangbangers at once. I have no respect for them and their cowardly ass ways. I do have respect for real men who shun these juvenile antics and man up for one on one fighting on the level. Like I said, it's not for me personally but I also don't like to crochet.
Peace.

Slanted Writing

re-post The New Shelton Wet/Dry:
The merging nexus back and forth


{ Inventor Paolo Bizziocchi proposes that it would be easier to read text if it were sloped downhill from left to right, so that each new line would be at the same height as the line just finished. | Weird Universe }

What's really crazy is that it's actually true. Your eye finds it's way back to the beginning of the next line so easily. This is a score for all things slanted, sloped, off center; all things that will probably never be truly recognized for their genius. Reminds me I need to work on my posture.
