Metal body, fabric skin

Guy — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 22:09:36 +0000

As Brian Suda says, the fabric skin makes you rethink the fundamentals of design. However, while the video notes that the outer metal shell isn’t actually required for crash protection, I did find bastardbrother’s comment on YouTube, that “when you get into a head on collision.. the skin of the car wraps on you and instantly turns into a body bag”, particularly amusing

Animal fray

Guy — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 19:33:24 +0000

This amazing video is over 8 minutes long, but well worth watching. A herd of lions attack a baby buffalo, a crocodile crawls out of a nearby lake and joins the fight, and then an entire herd of buffalo stampedes towards the fray to save its own. Incredible.

Uncovering the undercover

Guy — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 07:07:48 +0000

Picture this. You’re a reporter who wants to go undercover at a security conference in order to catch someone confessing to a hacking crime. However, your intentions are revealed online days beforehand. The conference organisers have your name, and ask four times whether you would like a press pass, but you refuse. Yet you still think you can go “undercover”. First of all, you’re pretty fucking stupid! And second, this is the reaction you should expect Hilarious! From YouTube, here, via BOL, here.

Dylan destroys journalist

Guy — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 17:37:42 +0000

This is great! Bob Dylan calmly rips apart a Time journalist’s entire profession and purpose in life. The interviewer just sits there looking weedy, lost for words as Dylan coolly explains why he doesn’t care what the journalist writes. From YouTube, here. Found via the Last.fm blog, here.

Beware the homosexual

Guy — Fri, 04 May 2007 20:58:49 +0000

I found this insane 1950s anti-homosexual propaganda film a while ago, but forgot to share it. It’s pretty offensive if you take it at face value, but it has to be viewed with the attitudes of the time in mind. Naturally, gays are perverts out to abuse underage boys at any opportunity… From YouTube, here.

Correction:
Seems the film’s actually from 1961 - more info on Wikipedia and IMDB.
