Shit Post Sunday: Skittles goes NSFW

#Skittles #NSFW


Skittles has had some pretty awesome and creative ads in the past, but there's no wonder why the famous company that sells candy to kids hasn't put their stamp of approval on this spec ad which got unleashed early last week.
NSFW!




In the wake of TBWA losing it's long and lucrative advertising partnership with Mars, I think we can expect to see a string of clever spec ads over the next few weeks as people try to catch the attention of the confectionary juggernaut.

Shit Post Sunday - The last fat Jonah Hill film?

@jonahHill #thesitter #nsfw

So skinny Jonah Hill introduces his new film 'The Sitter' to prove that while he's lost weight he can still be funny. I can't think of any other big funny men (John Candy, James Belushi, Chris Farley) who lost weight somewhere through their heightened career.

Ok so John Candy, James Belushi and Chris Farley all died prematurely, so that's a good reason to slim down I guess. It will be interesting to see what doors open for Jonah Hill now.




Shit Post Sunday: Take This Pill

@DAVID_FIRTH #takethispill #meadowman

David Firth makes some really good points here, but this may offend everyone. I'm still obsessed with his twisted/insightful views on life. The man is a harrowing genius.

Shit Post Sunday: Bureaucrats and Civil Servants



Today we honour the white collared workers who pack themselves into tiny cubicles and offices for 8 hours a day, five days a week, except on public holidays - fulfilling Fritz Lang's vision of the future.

Thinking with your noodle.

#USA #childsupport #opelika

Someone in the Sheriffs department in Opelika, Alabama must be grinning like a retarded monkey right now at how much smarter they are than a bunch of hillbillies.

Humanzee!

#oliverthechimp #rotpota #ligers 

Oliver was a Chimpanzee born in 1958 that appeared to be part human, part chimp. He wasn't really accepted by other chimps and preferred to be around humans whilst doing human things. There's something truly mysterious and creepy about this creature and below is a really interesting documentary on the matter.

They talk about Ligers in this doco! Yah for interspecies breeding!


So someone banged a chimp right? Well turns out he's 100% Chimpanzee and may actually be a mutant or sub species Chimp. He's from the depths of the Congo so maybe there's a Chimp city with Chimp run ice cream parlours and multi level shopping centres deep in the jungle.

Talking about Chimps, go and see Rise of the Planet of the Apes. It's probably the best (american) summer blockbuster film this year.

Forgotten Silver.

#forgottensilver #peterjackson #documentary

I saw this in Primary School and it's been stuck in my head ever since. This is a documentary that Peter Jackson (the lord of the rings guys) brought to life in 1995. Just watch the whole thing below.

So very interesting.











Yah it's a mockumentary. But still, intriguing none the less.

World's Largest Stop-motion Animation shot with a Nokia Smartphone

@nokia #aardman #stopmotion

So I'm guessing Nokia had a big meeting to discuss what they would do with the rest of their money before declaring bankruptcy, and you know what, I think they put it towards a solid idea.

It's refreshing to see this campaign since little to no creativity has gone into their phones in the last 5 years.

The Guinness Book of World Records confirmed the Stop Motion Animation, which used 11,000 sq. ft of area and filmed with the Nokia N8 Smartphone on the end of the 118-foot-high-crane, is officially the largest of it's kind.

Some credit needs to go to Nokia for hiring some very clever animators from Aardman Animations (Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run)

Watch the spot, but more importantly, watch the making of - Both embedded below.



$$$$ Holy Moses Megan Washington $$$$

@WASHINGTONx #HolyMoses

This is a brilliant way of relaxing and composing yourself. Stare at the GIF for a while, feel your hatred and anger melt away into happiness.

The Thing With Two Heads.

#Youshutup #racistbigot #oldschoolmovies

This is probably the greatest movie ever made. I'm not entirely sure why it was made, but thank the gods they did.



Which seems to be a spoof take of this movie.



It reminds me of this conversation. (this is a weird javascript embed, you need to click the image and it becomes a video)



All i would be thinking about all movie is if they transplanted the white penis as well.

Black Spiderman.

#Marvel #Spiderman #Black

So this is interesting.

We have an African-American president, so why not an African-American Spider-Man, too?

Revealed in Marvel Comics’ Ultimate Fallout Issue 4, out Wednesday, the new Spider-Man in the Ultimate universe is a half-black, half-Hispanic teen named Miles Morales. He takes over the gig held by Peter Parker, who was killed in Ultimate Spider-Man Issue 160 in June.

In his first appearance, he simply breaks up a fight. But readers will learn the true origin of Morales and how he became the new Spider-Man when Ultimate Spider-Man relaunches in September with a new No. 1 issue.

“The theme is the same: With great power comes great responsibility,” says writer Brian Michael Bendis. “He’s going to learn that. Then he has to figure out what that means.”


The best part of this for me is that people in America are able to deal with a black president, but are obviously not ready for the inevitability that is a black superhero. This must be one of the first Marvel black superheroes, the only other one i can think of is Black Panther.

Oizo's Douchebeat.

@oizo3000 #douchebeat @edbangerrecords

Holy Fuck!
The bearded asshole has done it again.

START GETTING EXCITED FOR OIZO'S 4TH LP OR DIE!


ok so the track is most definitely called 'Douchebeat' or 'Beat for the Douches'. See here. This was tweeted by Oizo a few weeks ago.

Seems bizarre as Douche in French means shower. However I'm sure Oizo means for it to be the more crude English meaning.

UPDATED. 

Busy P plays it at Hard Summer



BONUS - Oizo without a beard with Stephane (before Flat Eric).


A shitty bonus i know. Deal with it. Perhaps we'll get an interview with the man himself in a few months.

Watch this space and please follow @oizo3000 immediately.

Stoners and Sharks don't mix.

@ discovery #sharkweek #stoners

It's shark week (on @Discovery anyways), so I only felt it necessary to share something shit like this. Way too many 'oh my gods' makes me wish this boat capsized. It's pretty sweet that a shark is eating another shark though.

NTSF:SD:SUV - Terrorists, You've been warned.

#NTSFSDSUV #Childrenshospital


I'm sure we have recommended before that you watch Childrens Hospital. So you should already know about the spoof ads in the season finale of Season 1 for a tv show called NTSF:SD:SUV



Well now i have great pleasure in telling you, they have made it. This show is now real. You need to go and find it here and watch it.

Colin's Bear Tribute

@NatcollDesign #Animation #colinsbear

I revisited the video today and it came to my attention that there are a large amount of "tribute" videos hitting youtube.

For you convenience, here is the best, picked by Castle Awesome.

Just Cause.

I want to get high but i don't want brain damage.

@theflaminglips @ LightningBoltus #togetdamaged

This track 'I want to get high but i don't want brain damage' is a sweet ass collaboration between the flaming lips and Lighting Bolt. Matronomy told me Lighting Bolt are ridiculously good live, so if you have a chance go see them! Enjoy this ballsy track with it's delicious video below.

Enough of me, I'll let Wayne Coyne explain it.



No idea where you can grab the 12" from. Sorry!
