Samsung have some witty commercials, this one I thought felt tedious after 40 seconds, but it delivers towards the end:

Back To The Future Today!?
•July 5, 2010 • Leave a Comment
W R O N G !
Don’t believe everything you read on Twitter. Today is the anniversary of the film’s release, not the date they visit.
While Doc was showing Marty the time data he said, We can travel back to see the signing of the Declaration of Independence July 4, 1776 or go into the future to July 5, 2010, but before they left he changes it to 1955, the date when he thought of the flux capacitor.
So 5 more years before Back To The Future Day. Until then you’ll have to continue tying your own shoes 😦

A Puppet Show On The Go
•July 4, 2010 • Leave a CommentTraffic congestion + a white Mazda truck + a few puppets and an FM transmitter =
Mobile Puppet Theater: US 210 Freeway Pasadena, California
Drivers stuck behind this Mazda will be treated to puppet shows that explore themes such as chaos, control, fame, friendship, snobbery, artistic integrity and love.
A radio frequency will also be on display, in which the driver can tune into and listen to the soundtrack of the puppet show on their radios.
Starting roughly at 5 p.m. on designated days, lucky commuters will see the back of the pickup’s shell top swing open to reveal an energetic hand puppet dressed like a heavy metal musician.
If they tune their radios to the frequency written on a cardboard sign on the tailgate, they’ll hear crashing guitar chords and a gravelly announcer’s voice say, “Welcome to ‘Superclogger’!”
What follows are four vignettes: An aging country singer laments the price of success; a naive young boy confronts upper class pretensions in a surreal conversation with a talking shrub; two construction workers shed their tough guy image with a karaoke version of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now”; and an isolated writer sets aside his novel for a lucrative screenplay and love.

The 100 Greatest (slash Obscene) Movie Insults of All Time [movie montage]
•July 4, 2010 • Leave a CommentCONTENT WARNING: Foul language galore! I found this to be more a mass of obscene abuse taken out of context than a montage of clever comebacks. Just swear words really, delivered by some admired actors and actresses.
And FYI, “go f**k yourself” isn’t an insult, it’s a (cliché) suggestion – But I guess it F***ing belongs here on DarkInTheBoy:
Harry Hanrahan’s video is packed with 100 vicious movie insults.
I got bored listening to most of those; so here’s a happy video to contrast:
…The spiders on the wall?! …The cobwebs in the hall?!
Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat It’ Covered by Pomplamoose [music video]
•July 3, 2010 • 1 CommentAt first I didn’t like this cover by Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn, solely because, it isn’t really ‘Beat It’ without that phat guitar riff. But this version has definitely grown on me:
Infinity times better than *shivers* Fall Out Boy’s version.

Unitard Universe [new site]
•July 1, 2010 • 2 CommentsThis is a website devoted to the history of ‘Unitards’ from science fiction fantasy television and films to live concerts and fashion walks: Uninhibited Uniform at Unitard Universe celebrates all things uni!
I wrote that little write-up before I actually visited the site – give me a minute… (2 hours later) I feel like someone should award me with a diploma in Unitardosophy.
There’s more there than what I was expecting for sure, and all I was expecting was Lady Gaga, Cher, Elvis, lots of Freddie Murcury, some Spice Girls and Cameltoe galore:
(is that too many? plenty more at the site) Half celebrity smut conceived for serial masturbators around the globe, and half people just looking good and having fun. You decide by adding a KISS beside each picture, or not. [Unitard Universe]
