Don Hertzfeldt's "Rejected"

Rejectedcrumple_1

"we put lots of effort and care into shooting the films directly onto 35mm, perfecting the sound mixes, and quality-controlling them like vultures, so it's a little heartbreaking to see them flippantly downgraded into little mono video files by some 10 year old who doesn't know what he's doing.. and for all the world to see.. so it bugs me when that's how some people might be first exposed to your work. films are not meant to be seen on the internet. it's clearly an inevitable thing to deal with, i just hope people understand that what they're downloading is the equivalent of drinking a glass of fine wine after it's been filtered through a sewer. it's really not quite the same wine after that."  Don Hertzfeldt

Singapore MRT Anagramised

Singapore_mrt_detail_1

This is funny for Singaporeans who catch the MRT.  Small demographic I know, but one close to my heart...  (There's been a whole Boing Boing thing about making alternate underground maps with one of those anagram generator things).

Iraqi Invasion: A Text Misadventure


Oval Office
You are standing inside a White House, having just been elected to the presidency of the United States. You knew Scalia would pull through for you.

There is a large desk here, along with a few chairs and couches. The presidential seal is in the middle of the room and there is a full-length mirror upon the wall.

What do you want to do now?

> INVADE IRAQ
You are not able to do that, yet.

> LOOK MIRROR
Self-reflection is not your strong suit.

> PET SEAL
It's not that kind of seal.

Counterscript for Telemarketers

Print this out and stick it by your phone.

Telemarketers make use of a telescript - a guideline for a telephone conversation. This script creates an imbalance in the conversation between the marketer and the consumer. It is this imbalance, most of all, that makes telemarketing successful. The EGBG Counterscript attempts to redress that balance.

The Frustrations

Here's a video of a stand up comedy trio called Tripod from Australia...  I smiled out loud.  Very clever, and just a little bit close to home for some I would imagine.  Not me of course.

Balloons

Diverting...  A guy skateboards through balloons.  A lot of balloons actually.  I think it's a viral for Nike.
