Don't Stop Me Now
So here;s the setup: Two ladies have sound blocking headphones on. A man does an interpretive dance of the song and they have to try and guess the song at the end. Of course, we get to hear the song.

I had no idea that so many songs could be played using the same four chords.

Down 2-1 after 86 minutes of play, Canadian goalkeeper, Quillan Roberts, puts the ball in play and then this happens...
Experience Regina
Some of you probably saw the Hello Calgary promos that ran on CFAC back in the early 80's and made an appearance on many an inbox recently. Well, if you thought that was nostalgic you'll be downright horrified to think Regina ran this promo.Of course they didn't really. The dead giveaway shows up around the 2:22 mark but it's just cheesy enough that they might have.

Zombie Apocalypse prepredness
Well how about that. THe CDC actually has a page on how to deal with a Zombie Apocalypse...
Project Row Houses
Project Row Houses (PRH) is a neighborhood-based nonprofit art and cultural organization in Houston’s Northern Third Ward, one of the city’s oldest African-American communities. PRH began in 1993 as a result of discussions among African-American artists who wanted to establish a positive, creative presence in their own community. Artist and community activist Rick Lowe spearheaded the pursuit of this vision when he discovered the abandoned 1 1/2 block site of twenty-two shotgun-style houses in Houston’s Third Ward. The shotgun houses became the perfect opportunity to pursue the creation of a new form of art. They had two key elements: 1) a beautiful form recognized by the renowned Houston artist Dr. John Biggers to be filled with architectural, spiritual, and social significance, and 2) a need for social action among the community to bring the project to life.
PRH is founded on the principle that art-and the community it creates-can be the foundation for revitalizing depressed inner-city neighborhoods. This principle was is in part based on the philosophy of German artist Joseph Beuys (1921 – 1986) who coined the phrase “social sculpture,” which transformed the idea of sculpture as an art form into a social activity. Thus, the mission of Project Row Houses is to create community through the celebration of art, African American history and culture.
You can read a New York Times Article about the project and it's founder here.

Well, if you're not happy with the results of this past Monday's federal election, perhaps you'd like to send Prime Minister Harper a message just to let him know the 60% of us that didn't vote for him will be keeping a big hairy eyeball on him.

Playground #1
Watasun arrived with a basic melody line, some lyrics for the chorus, and the (potentially paraphrased) words of Miles Davis "It's not about the mistake, it's about the note you play right after".
The audience of around 40 people arrived in small groups. Most had never met before. Some bought instruments, others played ones bought by the band and the PGI team.
Watasun and the audience worked together for 45 minutes on building the song and The Miles Davis Jam was born.

This is bizarre but fascinating in some regards. Huge cast and long stretches of single takes (possibly one take). Can't imagine how long it must have taken to organize this and shoot it.

Two men having a conversation
Well, by now you've probably seen the original video of twin boys talking to each other. It was inevitable that someone would do a parody. Here it is. Just as funny and mindless as the original.

Modern warfare
As technology advances, so too does the way it serves the military. The military might just be the possessors of the most highly advanced technology in the world. Eventually, I see a time when foot soldiers may no longer be needed. Just machines that do all the dirty work and controlled from very far away. It's already happening in the form of Tdrone aircraft.

Probably a good thing the Steelers lost...
Adult film star Diamond Foxxx offered oral favours to all her twitter followers if the Steelers won the Super Bowl. Never mind that the CDC probably would have had a heart attack but I'm thinking if she had been really thinking about this she might have reconsidered if her worst case scenario came true and she had to give oral favours to all 36,348 of her followers...
