War-E... the badass Wall-E

I think this is a very cool mod to a Wall-E toy. Makes him look so much more Terminatorry (I just invented that word, so you got to pay me some royalties to use it). Winking

How To Train Your Dragon Olympics

Hehe, so DreamWorks brought out a few super cool clips with How To Train Your Dragon. Here they are:

Snowboarding. Vikings on snowboards?


Ski Jump. Being the best means having speed, agility, timing and a helmet!


Speed Skating. Before they trained Dragons, Vikings trained Olympians.


Bob-sledding requires 3 things: Strength, courage and a guy named Bob.


Medal Ceremony. The awarding of Gold, Silver & Bronze medals is a relatively recent development. 1000 years ago, athletes were awarded slightly different prizes.

Shared feelings

I think quite a few of us feels like this about the iPad:

Ode To The Joy

Pixar Intro Spoof

I found this over at CollegeHumor. Bad Luxo! Winking

The Marshmallow Torture Test

I laughed out loud when I saw this. I think this must be one of the worst “torture” tests for kids. Winking

Microsoft messing things up... yet again.

Wow, if I didn’t know any better I would say Microsoft is trying hard to mess things up for a LOT of people. It seems like Sidekick users in the USA are losing a LOT of their personal data. All I can say is that there should be heads rolling at Microsoft. Shame, I will give them an A for effort but that’s as far as it will go. And I feel sorry for Sidekick users. When Microsoft gets into the cloud computing business, I will make triple sure I don’t go with them. They are just dodgy. Where’s hyperactive Steve Balmer now? Oh wait, he could be screaming at people to not let his Sidekick lose power or he will lose all his stuff.

And to show yet again some really crappy Microsoft ads, here’s another one. Trying to rebrand Windows Mobile as Windows Phone. And using HTC Pure hardware instead of using the Windows Phone they are working on? Seriously, somebody should let the people that come up with the ads go back to mopping the floors.

Pretty cool Coca-Cola ad

I found this Coca-Cola ad quite funny. Even though it’s not an english ad no words are spoken in the ad, yet we all get the idea clearly of what their message is. That is what I call good advertisement. Happy

Gobelins Annecy 2009 Entries


The guys over at Gobelins have some pretty cool entries for this year’s Annecy festival.

Swine Flu

The big bad wolf said "I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down".

The little pig said "f***off or I'll sneeze on you".

* Hat tip to Ox, who gave a hat tip to Bianca... whoever that is*

Time for some funny clips...

... speaking of time where did it all go to? I’m already halfway through the second semester at Animation Mentor! Happy Anyways, fellow students posted these two video clips today and I found them to be very funny, and inspiring.

Pantyhose
Hahehaehahehahehaeh!!

Microsoft... shame, they are a bunch of plonkers.

Microsoft Plonker
So it seems like Microsoft is desperately trying to fix it’s self-esteem by getting average people on the street to say that they cannot find in a MacBook what they’re looking for. Here is the first ad and also the scam that has been revealed about it, and this is the so-called self-confessed technically savvy guy. Shame, poor bastard probably only read up on MHz and GB before he left for the shops on the Wikipedia. Shame Microsoft, you’re making an ass of yourself. Stop trying so hard, it comes naturally.

Eddie Izzard - Death Star Canteen



Oh man that is funny. Love Eddie's work but this is even better.

Microsoft managed to stay crap at making ads.

Microsoft has done it again! They made yet another crap ad for their new app called Songsmith. Well done MS, you've managed to outdone yourselves yet again. Is this the best you guys can do at taking a stab at Magic Garageband Jam from Apple? Pathetic!

Ok people, you know the drill, go grab your barf bags. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Norwegian Firefighters

One dark night outside a small town outside of New York, a fire abruptly started inside the local chemical plant and immediately engulfed the plant in flames. The alarm went out to all the fire departments for miles around. When the volunteer fire fighters appeared on the scene, the chemical company president rushed straight to the fire chief and said, "All our secret formulas are in the vault in the center of the plant. They must be saved!! I will give $50,000 to the fire department who retrieves them intact." But the roaring flames held the firefighters back. Soon more fire departments had to be called in as the situation became desperate.

As the firemen arrived, the president shouted aloud that the offer was now $100,000 to the fire department who could bring out the company's secret files. From the distance, a lone siren was heard as another fire truck came into view. It was the nearby Norwegian township volunteer fire brigade composed mainly of Norwegians over the age of 60. To everyone's amazement, the little run-down fire engine roared right past all the more modern sleek engines that were parked outside the plant.

Without even slowing down it drove straight into the middle of the inferno. Outside, the other firemen watched as the old Norwegian firefighters jumped off right in the middle of the fire and fought it back on every side. Within a short time, the Norwegian old timers had extinguished the fire and saved the secret formulas. The grateful chemical company president announced that for such an amazing feat he was upping the reward to $200,000, and walked over to personally thank each of the brave fire fighters.

The local TV news reporter rushed in to capture the event on film, asking their fire chief, "What are you going to do with massive reward?"

"Vell," said Larsen, the 68-year-old fire chief, "Da first thing ve is gonna do is fix da brakes on dat focking truck!"

Guide Dog

A visitor to San Francisco is standing on a street corner waiting for a bus when he notices a blind man and his guide dog.
The dog leads the man into the street, where he is brushed by an oncoming car. The man is knocked down, and he rather gingerly gets back up. He calls the guide dog over, reaches into his pocket, pulls out a canine treat, and gives it to the dog.

The visitor, upon seeing all this, walks over to the blind man and says, "That's amazing! Your guide dog led you into a busy street where you were nearly run over by a car, and yet you're giving the dog a treat. You must really love that dog."

The blind man turns to the visitor and says, "No, I'm gonna kick that dogs butt -- I'm just trying to find out which end is which."

WTF!!?!?

WARNING: Watch this video at own risk, and if you decide to watch it, have a barf bag handy.



I actually decided to put it in the Humor category because it just goes to show how much of an ass Microsoft can make of themselves. This was probably condoned by Steve Ballmer. Who knows, might be some of his family members in the boy band. Head on over here for relief.

When I'm 100, if I lean a little... LET ME!!!

The family wheeled Grandma out on the lawn, in her wheelchair, where the activities for her 100th birthday were taking place. Grandma couldn't speak very well, but she would write notes when she needed to communicate.

After a short time out on the lawn, Grandma started leaning off to the right, so some family members grabbed her, straightened her up, and stuffed pillows on her right.

A short time later, she started leaning off to her left, so again the family grabbed her and stuffed pillows on her left.

Soon she started leaning forward, so the family members again grabbed her, and then tied a pillowcase around her waist to hold her up.

A nephew who arrived late came up to Grandma and said, 'Hi, Grandma, you're looking good! How are they treating you?'

Grandma took out her little notepad and slowly wrote a note to the nephew:

"Bastards won't let me fart."

Who's Next?

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me "You're next!". They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

The Hitman

Two old friends were just about to tee off at the first hole of their local golf course when a guy carrying a golf bag called out to them, "Do you mind if I join you? My partner didn't turn up."

"Sure," they said, "You're welcome." So they started playing and enjoyed the game and the company of the newcomer. Part way around the course, one of the friends asked the newcomer, "What do you do for a living?"

"I'm a hit man," was the reply.

"You're joking!" was the response.

"No, I'm not," he said, reaching into his golf bag, and pulling out a beautiful Martini sniper's rifle with a large telescopic sight. "Here are my tools."

"That's a beautiful telescopic sight," said the other friend, "Can I take a look? I think I might be able to see my house from here." So he picked up the rifle and looked through the sight in the direction of his house.

"Yeah, I can see my house all right. This sight is fantastic. I can see right in the window." "Wow, I can see my wife in the bedroom. Ha Ha, I can see she's naked!! Wait a minute, that's my neighbour in there with her...... He's naked, too!!!

He turned to the hit man, "How much do you charge for a hit?"

"I'll do a flat rate, for you, one thousand dollars every time I pull the trigger."

"Can you do two for me now?"

"Sure, what do you want?"

"First, shoot my wife; she's always been mouthy, so shoot her in the mouth."

"Then the neighbour, he's a friend of mine, so just shoot his d*ck off to teach him a lesson."

The hit man took the rifle and took aim, standing perfectly still for a few minutes.

"Are you going to do it or not?" said the friend impatiently.

"Just be patient," said the hit man calmly, "I think I can save you a grand here.

LOLCats

Stumbled upon the LolCats website. Some very funny captions. Happy

Also seems like our beloved Eskom has decided to halt load-shedding for the time being because we are such good citizens and are working hard on getting a 10% reduction in electricity usage countrywide.

Some other good news is that Vodafone and Apple signed an agreement to sell the iPhone in 10 countries including South Africa! Obviously VodaCom will be handling that bit over here. Well, let's see how much they will charge for it first of all.

A dog is truly a man's best friend

If you don't believe it, just try this experiment:

Put your dog and your wife in the trunk of the car for an hour. When you open the trunk, who is really happy to see you!
