Human LCDs

Once again, you’d never see this in America…

Watch as South Korean soccer "football" fans coordinate — in incredible fashion — to simulate giant LCD screens! (Way more than just holding up a card here) They wear jackets with one color on the front, one on the back, a third color shirt, and use their pants to simulate shading. Wow. I especially dig the ‘rotating sunbeams’ effect.

Fight For Kisses

Wow. This is one of the most bizarre ad campaigns I’ve ever seen (figures that it’s French). Fight For Kisses is a movie trailer / game (??) about a baby who needs to fight his father for mother’s affection after he discovers the close, comfortable shave of a Quattro razor!

Ahmadinejad: Hot Or Not?!

So let’s forget the politics, the controversy, the war talk… The question is:

Is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Hot Or Not?

The chicks over at snarky femblog Jezebel have quite a (nasty) discussion going on about it.

And Andy Samberg of SNL definitely has feelings on the matter.

Your Heartbreak Is On Hold

Well, it seems as if The Letdown is on hold for about a week or so… this past month has been more of a testament to how bad the Mets were, rather than how good the Phillies were. (They really really should have taken 2 from the Marlins) But as a long-suffering Philadelphia sports fan, I hereby reserve the right to hop a ride on the bandwagon should the situation arise 😉

As an aside, you know things are not right with the universe when the Phillies outscore the Eagles. Simply Pathetique.

Those Phightin’ Phils

COUNTDOWN TO THE LETDOWN

Well, the city is gripped with Phillies Phever. Not since Super Bowl XXXIX has the city (well, at least the media) been so engrossed with a possible Philadelphia World Championship. I mean, League Championship. Wait, Division…? ahhh it’s just that they might at least make the damn playoffs!!

Isn’t that incredible?! For the losingest professional sports team in U.S. history, I guess it is. But. I have an inkling as to what might happen…

With 3 games to go, the Phillies and the Mets each win 2 out of 3 against weaker opponents. The season ends with a tie for first in the NL East. This leads to a one-game playoff, to be held at Citizens Bank Park. With a rabid home crowd behind, the Phillies jump out to an early 3-run lead. Which holds until late in the game, when their eternal Achilles’ heel — Middle Relief — rears its ugly head. The 3-run lead vanishes amongst a 5-run Mets’ flurry the 8th inning. The Phils score one and put 2 on in the 9th, only to find Jimmy Rollins go down swinging to end the Phillies’ season, and a city’s (latest) dream.
