Ying-Yang Twins on Cribs - Translated
Does anyone understand what rappers Kaine and D-Roc of the Ying-Yang Twins (shouldn't that be Yin Yang?) are talking about. So thankfully, the guys over at Tasty Booze blog stepped in to translate.

This one is NSFW (strong language), but it's very funny: here's British actress and comedian Nina Conti performing ventriloquism with her sarcastic and profane puppet monkey Monk.

(Interestingly, YouTube removed a video "due to terms of use violation" from her own website - what's up with that?)

Iron Man vs Bruce Lee
Who will win? Iron man or the Little Dragon?

Regardless of who wins, one thing is for sure: French Canadian filmmaker Patrick Boivin, the man behind this short clip, sure knows how to make an excellent stop motion animation!
