Can't stop, won't stop
Apr. 22nd, 2009 09:54 pmIn 1978, French film director Claude Lelouch decided to make a short film about a driver racing through Paris at top speed in a single, unbroken first-person shot. He got together a fast car, a professional Formula One driver, and a camera mounted on the front of the car with a gyro stabilizer. He mapped out a course from Porte Dauphine, past the Arc de Triomphe, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur. He applied for a permit to close the streets, but was turned down.
He filmed it anyway.
One hundred forty miles per hour through the center of Paris, baby!
Yes, those are real cars and pedestrians.
Lelouch showed the film publicly once. He was promptly arrested. The driver remains anonymous.

After the speech, Mr. Steele then proceeded to, as he put it, "get jiggy with it."
Mmmm...cake
Sep. 26th, 2008 10:18 pmApparently the boss who brought this cake to a company function got in a bit of trouble. Hmm. I wonder why?
Read the commentary from Cake Wrecks. It's a riot. As is the rest of the site, actually. It's a blog dedicated to cakes horrible in design and execution. It appeals to the same part of me that watches MST3K and still browses the late, lamented Inexplicable Object of the Week archive.
Some other highlights: a cake shaped like an insulin pen, delicious chest hair decorations, the Cake Head Diet Aid, and Inappropriate Much?.
In a similar vein, but from another site, I bring you the ANGRY GREEN VAGINA CAKE.
On the other hand, here is a totally awesome life size WALL·E cake!

I like the music in this clip
May. 27th, 2008 06:37 pmI think it's background music from some old video game. Anybody know which one?
