Well, The Simpsons Movie is out. Unfortunately, I haven’t managed to see it yet, although I look forward to it. However, what I have seen is the movie website.
While this site has great animation and a real sense of synergy with the program itself, undoubtedly, the coolest thing is the ‘Create your Simpsons Avatar’. As you can see from mine, it’s not always easy to create your own yellow doppleganger but great fun nonetheless.
However, there are a few bits that are a little rough round the edges and on the whole, if not for this element of the site, I would be a little tempted to class it as ‘all fur coat and no knickers’.
This is the single greatest creative idea applied to a penal system ever happened upon.
Words cannot do this piece justice, suffice to say I would be willing for the creator to have a go at solving the rest of the planet’s problems, I’ll leave the explanation to the video itself and the information gathered from YouTube:
“1,500 plus CPDRC inmates of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center, Cebu, Philippines at practice! This is not the final routine, and definitely not a punishment! just a teaser”.
I’ve found a lovely little site which appeals to my Japanese-loving side. The site is called ReayMech.com and is a small collection of downloadable PDF flat-pack designs for making your very own miniature ‘Mechs’.
Mechs are little boxy-type characters which come in many flavours, all ready for you to stick your fingers together with super glue trying to ‘pimp your desk’.
The series has been developed by Fwis, a graphic design group in Portland, Denver, Cupertino and Brooklyn, USA.
As you can see here, mine is already my bestest pal and I’m sure he’ll have a few more companions before the week is out.
In the words of ‘Art Attack’s’ Neil Buchanan, “Try it yourself…“
I may need not need to talk this one up too much, suffice to say that this is the funniest thing I’ve seen in absolutely AGES. I have quite literally been crying while laughing at this for the past hour.
And, for when it starts to lose a little of it’s humour after the millionth time, there is even www.dramaticprairiedog.com with loads of hilarious remixes to top your funny bone up.
