Matt at Warming Glow posted this Japanese Dole ad with the best warning ever:
“Be warned: it is 15 seconds of looking directly into the solar eclipse of Japan’s deep-seated national insanity.”
Creepy on so many levels. Plus, the banana FX look like they’re made with augmented reality.
Watch how NY Mets Pitcher Johan Santana has a different handshake for every player. And a lot of spare time. (via Deadspin)

Here, the SNL dudes push the limits of gay/not-gay. (Thanks, Dylan.)
In the Digital Short “Andy’s Dad” they go wayyy too far. Still funny though. (Thanks, Mel!)
Well, well done. Forgot how many rad split screens that sequence had. (via Laughing Squid)

Some guy’s vid of a raccoon that lives under his deck and grabs cat food via a knot hole. Fascinatingly creepy. (via FecalFace)
BONUS VID … I guarantee you will replay it at least three times.

Citreon’s been doing the Transformer thang for a while (see below). I give ’em props for doing it so well, before Michael Bay perfected the look. And I never get tired of ads that mess with the page. Win, win.
Turns out if you drill holes in a pipe, seal the ends, run gas and music through it, then light it on fire, the flames will visualize the sound waves. These guys show how they just made one for $11. But local fav’s the Myth Busters explained it best a couple years back.
Watch videos of Rubens’ Tube action … See the rest »
This trailer did two things for me: 1) Got me giddy-as-a-schoolgirl to see the flick, 2) Reminded me what a fanfreakingtastic album Funeral is. I never forgot, but it has slipped in my rotation for sure.
Watch the trailer in HD at Apple. Peep the poster at The Movie Blog.
Sweet fancy Moses! I cannot express how spectacularly awful this is … If you love so-bad-it’s-good schtüff, click play already. Like, now. See the rest »
Food rotting. Storms crashing. Creatures metamorphosizing. Watch Wired’s fav “nature at work” vids here.
Watch what the guy’s thinking when the girl’s dreaming marriage in this nice spot for Puma’s new, light-injected (huh?) shoes. (Thanks, Ty)

Magnetic Fields “Underwear” from 69 Love Songs
Damn, TBWA is doin’ some fine work for sweets. This Skittles “Piñata” spot is hilarious but my fav is still Snickers’ Feast Horn.
I love it when studios/agencies take time to add little touches to the things that come standard. Here’s a humongous gallery of creative variations on opening logos (1947–Present).
Alright, the first clip looks fake. But the rest are b-a-n-a-n-a-s.
