Friday Ephemera

Behold the electric dicycle (with active rotation damping). // Now this is just showing off. // Eleven hundred cars roam the Hot Wheels City. // Cat caught barking, cover blown. // A compendium of really bad records. // You don’t want to mess with Russian border guard dogs. (h/t, Herb) // Andrew Breitbart interviewed. Parts 2, 3, 4, 5. // Burnt toast, only $1. // It’s raining ice-cream. // Real headlines. // Desktop terrariums. // Parents and their children (and a transporter malfunction). // Shake. // And via The Thin Man, “Adam Curtis believes that 200,000 Guardian readers watching BBC2 could change the world.”

Could we get some of those Russian Border Guard dogs flown over for the next UKUncut march? After all, I'm sure someone will be marching with a 'Make Love, Not War!' banner...

Shake.

Amazing footage. For a minute I thought it was going to go really, really badly.

What’s with the head slapping?

“Amazing footage.”

Yes, and every cliché is in there… but for real. (It’s just a shame about the music, which is staggeringly naff.)

“What’s with the head slapping?”

I’m guessing that’s how the Toulambi people show… pleasure? Surprise?

As in, “Hey, get a load of this boiled rice business!”

and a transporter malfunction.

Thanks for the nightmares.

I like the Adam Curtis one - having been intoxicated by "The power of nightmares" and "The Mayfair set", which were pretty good, I've been disappointed by Curtis' output of late...
