Brilliant.

Islamabad? Not at all. Sam Kekovich is back with this year’s installment of his Australia Day lamb TVCs.

After my last post, I received some interesting posts on Facebook and some live discussion around ethics of eating live animals. I do not condone eating live animals for one minute, and the Sannakji I posted previously was an example of a lingering electrochemical reaction that causes the tentacles to wiggle across the plate. They were not alive – anymore.

The footage below takes the cake for the abhorrent treatment of animals.

This video of a deep-fried, yet still breathing gasping fish at a restaurant. The footage is understood to be of Chinese origin, and this is one of the most disturbing things I have seen. Whether you’re a carnivore or not, the indifference to the suffering of this animal shown is unfathomable.

Below is a four-minute video, produced by local police in Gwent, Wales, that has gone viral, attracting more than 1.5 million views on YouTube alone. Unfortunately, YouTube has restricted viewings to those over 18 because of its graphic nature, although through sharing on sites like Facebook and embedding on other websites (like I have) gets around the issue.

In a statement on the Gwent Police website, they are hoping the video can be used in schools across the U.K. to deter texting while driving “because we want to stop ALL drivers, but particularly young and new ones, from causing accidents”.

Effective? I reckon it might just be. I’d love to see this picked up as a public service announcement and played at the cinemas in its entirety. Pass it on – this one needs to be seen, and not just by kids, but by adults, whom are all too guilty of this activity.

Hipster douches with bad hair and 80s retro fluoro stone wash fashion sense got you down with their fixies and poor city riding skills? Then check this out.

Very clever episode of “Will it Blend?” where a selection of Olympus kit gets smoothified. Check it out.

You’ve no doubt been involved in a conversation like this at some point in time.

Wieden + Kennedy’s Amsterdam office created Let It Shine – a Honda commercial in which a bank of cars (Honda’s, naturally) arranged in a grid, use their headlights as pixels to create an animated sequence.

Here it is, the new Astronomy Class video for Where You At? currently on high-rotation on Triple J. A new album and tour are coming shortly.
