I am imagining myself standing in line behind someone like this, as they argue the finer points of coupon loopholes with the grocery clerk.

"No, you see, you should be PAYING ME to buy this cereal because it's two for one and I am buying two boxes and using two coupons..."

"Uum..I'm going to have to call my supervisor."

etc.

Still you have to admire her resourcefulness.

As if your soft drink wasn't sugary ENOUGH??

I was visiting Paris two summers ago, travelling with a backpack and a skateboard.

One night, I was late and caught the LAST commuter train back to the suburbs of Ponteau-Combault, where I was staying.

When I arrived at the station and saw the television schedule, it said ONE MINUTE left and the train was visible in the distance.

I was so relieved I took out my Nikon coolpix and tried to document this close call. (To send back home as a blog post: "Hey, caught the last train almost got stranded in Paris overnight, etc.")

Before I boarded the train, a security guard with a DOG on a leash came to see me. "We'll have to confiscate your camera," he said in French. I objected to this, and explained why I was taking the photo.

Because the train doors were closing -- and probably because I was a white guy with a Quebec flag on my skateboard, let's be honest -- he let me go, saying photography was not allowed.

Creepy situation! Why is everyone who takes photos assumed to be a pervert or terrorist?

I think we need to brew up some fake "photography liscences" to fool security guards.

I just think it's an ugly painting.

Hmm..what are the odds of a religious commune like a Kibbutz being a place of superstition?

Wow, that Tigerlight.net site is actually pretty rad!

This encroaching police state is a proud supporter of NASCAR.

(Seriously though it does look like an amazing product, which would make things a lot easier fo rpolice officers and soldiers. I just get nervous about the pepper spray being used all the time.)

Am I the only one who didn't care for Y: The Last Man?

Seems the plot went nowhere, just adding a bunch of twists for no reason.

(Oh, now they're running from cannibals? Lesbian sex between characters? A man turns out to be a robot? An ex Canadian pop star is a Tokyo crime boss? etc.)

Also, are we supposed to believe that after THREE YEARS of walking around together, they would still be calling her "Agent 355?"

I loved this series in the beginning but gave up after book #6...

Apart from that, everyone here should read "100%" by Paul Pope.

So much fun!!

Amazing how 50 years ago seems like a completely different country and people.

Here's to nerdy dads around the world!

I love this kind of humour! Subtle, deadpan, and still makes you think.

If only SNL could show this type of quiet mastery...

"hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gaaal...send me a kiss by wire...baby my heart's on fire..."

I want a machine that tells me "+50xp gained. You have gained a level of fitness."

mmm...longpig

I have never used ROTFLMAO in it's literal sense before. But this did it. Whew..

Update -- only people who enojy the video are pervs. Sorry to smear everyone with crap with the same brush.....eeeeew!

I wish BoingBoing would stop posting about this. I mean, sure we're ironically being hip about this...but it's really sick.

I haven't seen the video but why is it fun to see people reacting to something so genuinely vile??

You are supposed to post about WONDERFUL things -- and there is a whole world of interesting, curious, lively, fascinating stuff out there.

Why focus on this kind of really sick stuff that gives the internet a bad name? I can't reccomend this site to friends now, they'll think I'm a perv by association. (And yes, I'm calling people who watch the video pervs. If you went to see this in person -- let's say a tent, late at night, at some hellish Coney Island --- what would that make you?

Please, please stop. I'd expect this from Warren Ellis, but not here. :(

Don't forget his coke dealer.

I think the ad should somehow explain how long the guy has been there.

Right now, you don't get the sense that it's six hours.

They should also explain that the detainee is told the floor is electrified or that he will be shot if he moves.

Right now -- it's very powerful, don't get me wrong -- I just think they should add the phrase "waiting for the guard....FOR SIX HOURS."

This should be made into an HBO series, shot with the gritty looks of "Band of Brothers."

Amazing it's written by Robert Kirkman who did "Battle Pope!"

Holy crap, it's the cat from Transmetropolitan! Somebody call Warren Ellis!

This is still going to lead to road accidents, becuase your mind is focused on something else than the road.

One of the hobos is Blackbolt from Marvel Comics?! I just about spit coffee all over my Macbook. :)

Just like a nice hot cup of coffee....with extra caffiene and 12 sugars.

It's so nice to see the subjects if this documentary be treated with respect. I would be very dissapointed if a filmaker abused their trust and make fun of them...

E3 is one big advertisement, it's nice to see some people messing it up...

(Seriously, is there any other art form so controlled by huge corporations as video-games?? It's like a film industry with only shoot-em-up blockbusters.)

Just give your money to charity, already. Yikes.

Is this digital, or is it just black goop between to layers, on top of a light table?

I could make this using a vacuum sealer, some soy sauce, and a box with lights.

Booooooooooring.

Hopefully these guys will keep attacking each other and dilute the vote.

Another note: This man known how to use Powerpoint to GREAT effect.

What a reasoned, logical, educated argument.

And his remix examples are great too.

That's not funny, the kid could have gotten tortured!! He could also have gotten detained indefinitely, Maher Arar style.

This is playing with fire, I hope the father realizes this.

So what's the story? The CIA is smuggling plane loads of cocaine into the United-States to fund black projects and sustain Bush's habits??

How much grant money do these Norwegian artists HAVE, anyway??

This is inane nonsense. Who can predict how human civilization will exist 500 years from now, much less HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of years??

Sensational headline, nothing more. Shame on the Daily Mail!

modblog.bmezine.com has photos of this procedure being done on real people. The ears are not extended, just cut and sewn pointed.

Next up: "No Terrorists" tshirts and keychains.

This thing deserves to become its own internet sensation.

Who owns the T-SHIRT rights?

The only difference is, farmers' hard work and long hours are actually valuable to society.

WOW is such a waste of time...spend hours and hours so a virtual character can wear a new shirt?

Millions of people will not gain you respectability.

This is going to create an industry of CDs with really special b-sides on the vinyl...rare stuff you need a needle to hear.

But is it anything more than a novelty? I mean -- what is the "practical" purpose?

I went to a museum in Quebec city which had floating images of people speaking, in this manner. It's very convincing in person.

You'd have to be high to enjoy most N64 games anyway. ZING!
