I never laughed so hard.

Foutaises (Things I like, Things I hate) is a wonderful short film by beloved director Jean-Pierre Jeunet (City of Lost Children, Amelie, Delicatessen).  If you’ve seen Amelie, you can see how he later incorporated this idea to paint the amazing characters of that film. 

If you ever got to read Tim Burton’s The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy: and Other Stories you’re in for a treat. Over at Things from Another World you can now grab yourself those nostalgic figures from your favorite bedtime stories. Of course me-mother didn’t take interest into what I would have considered the elite bedtime story but I can still curl up with a book in one hand and now thanks to Dark Horse a doll in the other. If your preference is more towards the Hideous Penguin Boy or Toxic Boy then the good word is they also have them for sale. My personal favorite is Stain Boy which they also have as a doll and also in sticker form. [Link]

As an added bonus I also have a Tim Burton speed painting from Nico Di Mattia at speed-painting.com.

The California cell phone law isn’t official until July 1st

I’m thinking this might be a great thing to invest in.  Could these female robots possibly replace the real thing someday?  According to the developer site, she can cook, go shopping, do chores, give massages and dress and recharge herself automatically and they gave her an IQ of 130. They go on sale on June 11th this year, and according to the developers web site a male model is coming soon too!(Link)

So, the question I have, is this some kind of scam or what? They could have faked the whole thing, used an actress for the demo. I’m not sure, but from what I’ve researched so far there is no evidence that it’s a hoax or anything. Hrmmmm…

This awesome animation is called “MUTO” by a fellow called Blu.  Check him out here.

Way to perpetuate the blonde stereotype and put us all back a generation. I made sure I had my map ready for this very demanding question.
