This is amazing (found via Petrolheed on Twitter). Forget Susan Boyle, Ukraine’s Got Talent in the form of Kseniya Simonova.

Gen Art rock-chick ad inspires

You just have to admire some ad creatives. There are some ads that aren’t particularly relevant which come in through the networks, but this one on Lucire’s website is very entertaining:

Rock inspiration ad

The animated woman grabs the mouse pointer, slashes her clothes into something more rock-and-roll, then jumps out and plays air guitar with the pointer, before walking off, screen right. The ad is for Gen Art.
Oh, and there is a new layout for Lucire online—we are rolling it out gradually to see what viewer feedback is like. Above is one of the new sectional contents’ pages (see here for the real thing), which you can compare to one of the old ones (here).

Some Grey Bloke on the swine ’ﬂu

Some Grey Bloke has got it right with the swine ’ﬂu: that it is the Susan Boyle of illnesses. It hasn’t done much, but everyone with an internet connection knows about it.

SWINE FLU!!!

As I am a techno-cynic, I loved this animation, by Mike Booth.

From Seth MacFarlane: ‘Things You Never Hear’

I have never heard of this show from Seth MacFarlane, but I thought this video on YouTube was very funny. (Note: adult themes and cussing.)

Bro’ Town is back

Good to know that the final season of Bro’ Town is getting a bit of an ad push with outdoor advertising:

Bro’ Town last season posters

I think there was still more promotion for US Life on Mars by TV3, however. Maybe they figured that Bro’ Town, being a local institution, wouldn’t need it—but I can’t remember when it’s on, so it’s probably not enough in my book!

How the world has changed in 200 years

[Cross-posted] I was shouted this on Digg today, and it’s a fascinating look at how the world has changed since 1809 in terms of life expectancy and wealth. Presented by Hans Rosling, the original is at Gapminder.

Beached as

Found on another Voxer’s blog: Kiwi-speak! This pokes fun at the New Zealand vernacular, and while the accent is not 100 per cent perfect, a lot of the usage is: e.g. the use of as as a suffixed superlative. I was giggling throughout!

I have never seen this two-minute short before, starring Wallace and Gromit, from 2002. Apparently it is not the only one in this series. Enjoy!

I can imagine Two Jags calling Brown a ‘Jock’

Another brilliant Eggtoon from Andy Wyatt: this time about Labour’s politics during the Blair era, in the style of South Park. I think it’s funnier than the Windsors one I posted earlier tonight, though the death of Robin Cook in the cartoon might be considered bad taste given that the man has passed away.
