Sony Bravia - Play Doh Ad

Here is another amazing advertisement for the Sony Bravia. It involves stop motion rabbits running through New York City. I can't imagine the amount of planning or effort that went into this (and I'd hate to be the animator who messed up a shot and ruined a days work). The result is pretty freakin' amazing.

The Dose

Here is the site and blog of Andy. I took a few moments to check out the Diary section of the site, where the first post I read was about how he sent inappropriate photos to a friend to use in a wedding guest book. The next was "The Barbie Collection", featuring pictures with captions like "Community Service Barbie," and "Gay in London Ken." Another feature finds him putting personal ads on from the 1940s on Craig's List to see if they still get a response. They do, and it's hilarious. Thanks to Brian C. for the recommendation.

Smugheads

On this page you can find the blogs of Abo and Karo. They are brothers and each believes he can lead the way to artistic genious. Each also believes that the other is going about his artistry in completely the wrong way. They live together and bicker pretty constantly. You can track them both through their areas of the website. They just started, but so far there are quite a few updates. I'll be tracking them as they continue.

iGod | Artificial Intelligence Chat

Here is an online bot that lets you talk to to a higher power. I asked it all kinds of things. It was kind of vague, but once in a while it gave an interesting answer (when I asked it "Do you ever talk to Satan?" the answer was "Yes, a lot more than you might think actually"). It also has that super-slick, Applish, Web 2.0 look to it, which I guess is how it earns it's "i" prefix. Thanks to Dave for the link.

COMEBACK!!

I've been gone for the last month due to somewhat ridiculous work hours and general laziness during freetime. BUT THINGS ARE GOING TO CHANGE AROUND HERE. Starting Monday, I'll be back with the awesome links, once again posting every weekday for as long as I can keep it up. Remember, if you have a link you think is awesome, send it to me at willsawesomelinks@gmail.com.

I Hate Young People

This guy took a camera to the street and interviewed a whole bunch of people about why they hate young people. Issues range from rudeness to clothing to an abundant use of the "n-word." Both young and old voices are represented (although not always the most diplomatic of either) and the interviews are cut together in a way that makes that hilarious.

World Beard & Mustache Championships 2007

Anyone who knows me personally knows that I have terrible facial hair envy. I wish I could grow a badass beard, but genetics have decided that such a fate is not for me. If you want to see someone more predisposed to awesome beards and mustaches, check out the winners of this competition. They are truly spectacular. And mostly German.

French Commercial

It's a french commercial. I'm not sure what it's advertising, but it's animated on an incredibly high level. Better than tv. Better than a lot of movies, actually. Check it out. Super stylized and super fun.

The Escapist: Zero Punctuation

Here is a great video series by a writer named Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw. He seems to have a good grasp on games, puts his criticisms in a really funny way, and does it all with simple and effective graphics. Watch one, and you might have to watch them all.

How to Cope with Death

Here is an amazing short about that time in an old woman's life when the grim reaper comes a-calling. Every frame is beautiful, and the story has a pretty fun twist. It's only 3 or so minutes, and well worth the time invested.
