Parkour + Robots = Extremely Sweet Running

Posted by: Crazyman In: Random Stuff

I noticed this sweet looking Nike advertisement featuring a robot doing Parkour  on Gizmodo today.  For those unaware of what Parkour is, just picture all those action scenes in movies & computer games (Bourne Identity & Assassin’s Creed,etc)  features dudes jumping from wall to wall & across roof tops & you’ll get the picture.

Considering the current selection of shitty advertisements on Australian TV (what’s up with those food adverts featuring the old farts rapping?) we’re highly unlikely to ever see this Nike ad over here so enjoy the following clip.

Joaquin Phoenix on Letterman

Posted by: Gavin In: Random Stuff| TV

I’m not quite sure what Joaquin’s deal is here and some people are saying that it was staged but either way it makes for some great viewing.

For more platinum Letterman check out when Paris Hilton was on back in 2007.

Operator Please do porn

Posted by: Crazyman In: Music| Random Stuff

Apparently the ex keyboardist of Operator Please, Sarah Gardiner has entered the world of porn.

After Gardiner’s departure from the band late last year it’s been alleged that she has posed for the amateur porn site Abbey Winters under the alias of Tracia L.

While I was initially sceptical about the story, so far there’s been no denial from the band or Sarah and I have to admit that the pictures do look pretty authentic.

If you can stomach them then go check out the censored pics here & make up your own mind.

A BetaMaXmas

Posted by: Gavin In: Random Stuff| TV

screen-capture

Christmas is that special time of the year where you get to watch bad Christmas movies like The Santa Clause, A Mom For Christmas and I’ll Be Home For Christmas (JTT FTW) at all times of the day. Add to this reruns of every ‘Christmas Edition’ TV show and I’m in heaven.

So I was very extremely happy to find a site that lets me do this all year round and especially at work!

Enter BetaMaXmas where you are transported to a 1980ish basement where the only things on TV are Christmas themed shows. Everything from He-Man, Sesame Street, Pee Wee Herman, Married With Children only to name a few…

Triumph meets David Blaine

Posted by: Gavin In: Random Stuff

A classic piece of Triumph the Insult Dog where he takes on David Lame Blaine.

I have no idea how this douche can call himself a magician but I can understand how Triumph is considered a comic genius.

That Drum Playing Gorilla

Posted by: Gavin In: Random Stuff

If you’re going to have a Gorilla drumming to Phil Collins to try and sell your product consider me sold.

Not only is this a Gorilla playing drums but it’s playing one of the best drums intros ever.

After doing a quick Google search I found that this is actually an advertising campaign from the UK dating back to 2007… go have a read over at Wikipedia for more.

Hot Chicks with Douchebags

Posted by: Gavin In: Random Stuff

Every now and then you stumble upon a website that makes you think ‘This is why the internet was invented’

DB3004-729717.jpg

Enter http://www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com/

The concept is pretty simple. Pictures of hot chicks with douchebags complemented with humorous commentary.

As I have a keen interest in what is becoming a spreading epidemic. I find this site a valuable resource.

Now this is Cricket

Posted by: Gavin In: Random Stuff

I’m not a huge fan of Cricket but if what I saw during last night’s match between Australia and India becomes a regular occurrence I’ll be watching a whole lot more of the ‘Gentleman’s Game’.

Although news this morning is that Andrew Symonds could face assault charges for what can only be described as a perfect hip and shoulder.

‘Cmon the guy was interrupting the game and Symonds was just taking the necessary means required to get the game going again. It just also happened to create excellent viewing.

Well done old chap. Well done.
