McCain is “The Vet Who Did Not Vet”

By Gib | October 31, 2008

One of the cutest politcal tube creations I’ve seen this season.
And I’ve seen a lot.
Amazing how much is packed in!
I especially loved the tanning beds.

Diva Moment: Whitney Houston Diva Medley

By Gib | October 30, 2008

Three songs, one huge Diva turn:

Porgy I’s Your Woman (Porgy and Bess)
And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going (Dreamgirls)
I Have Nothing (The Bodyguard)

If the date is to be believed, then 2/3 of the songs were in movies, but now all of them are.

Ancient Chinese secret, huh?

By Gib | October 27, 2008

Again, I love the one liner that closes the commercial.
Calgon Water Softener Commercial from the 1970s.

Were the World Mine

By Gib | October 24, 2008

iPhone in a Blender

By Gib | October 24, 2008

The Water Fall Printer

By Gib | August 19, 2008

Hat tip to Cool Things for this video, which features a water fall in Canal City, a mall in Fukuoka, Japan (don’t you love the name?
I can imagine going to Japan to run an errand to the mall, getting mesmerized, and then waking up 30 years later if they have a lot of eye candy [...]

Lion Tackles Woman Dancing Lion Moves

By Gib | March 21, 2008

Wild video. Literally and metaphorically. A martial arts dancer demonstrates lion moves for a photo shoot and the lion in the fore ground likes it so much, he leaps across twenty feet to pounce her. Very playful, like a cat with a toy.
Link to the video after the jump.
