Social Experiment Films Reaction to Two Men Holding Hands on Russian Streets


YouTube Link

ChebuRussiaTV recently set up an experiment using a hidden camera placed on a man who would be posing as half of a gay couple, walking hand-in-hand with another man through Russian city streets. As expected, Russia's well-known anti-gay sentiment manifested in a number of ways; mainly profanity and physical roughousing such as pushing and shoving. English subtitles give one an idea of the hate that openly gay Russians face every day. Via Design Taxi


Women in Vintage Ads Are Way Too Happy about Getting Appliances

Could it be? Is it really? Yes, it's a . . . toaster!

What is going to make you happy in life? Time-saving home appliances. Flashbak rounded up advertisements from the 1940s, 50s, and 60s showing women overcome with joy upon receiving or using new advanced vacuum cleaners, ovens, and refrigerators. As these paired ads from Toastmaster prove, the more pieces of toast that you can toast simultaneously, the happier you will be.

Illustrator Imagines Fashion Designers As Their Own Logos

Many fashion designers face a branding conundrum- how do you remain the face of your company when your brand signature is often reduced to a typographic logo?

Illustrator Mike Frederiqo has come up with a rather clever solution- he turns the designers themselves into their iconic logos.

So when you see that YSL logo you’ll no longer be confused about what those letters stand for, because Yves Saint Laurent himself has been conveniently cloned and is now posing as his iconic logo.

But what if your logo includes a guy riding a horse?

Well, if you’re Ralph Lauren you channel your inner equestrian with ease, posing for your own Polo logo with a dapper little bear along for the ride.

New Blog Reveals The Deepest, Darkest Secrets Of The Felines Of New York

The cats who call New York home are a fascinating bunch of critters, and they prove that felines can adapt to and thrive in any environment, whether urban or rural.

Feline New Yorkers who roam the streets have a hard time living nine lengthy lives, and cats who live indoors must get used to staying inside all day while the world walks by outside their window.

Cat lover and comedian Jim Tews has taken notes from the wildly popular blog Humans Of New York and given the Felines Of New York an outlet for their deepest, darkest secrets. Some are hilarious, others are terrifying, but they're all just NYC kittehs keepin' it real! (Some entries contain NSFW language)

The Best Comic Book Related Announcements From Comic-Con 2015

Comic-Con 2015 is officially over, and boy are my hips tired from carrying around my utility belt and giant bag of swag all weekend long.

There were lots of exciting Hall H announcements about our favorite geek franchises like Star Wars and Doctor Who, some surprise celeb appearances that caused the floor to be unbearably crowded, and plenty of pop culture love to go around.

But the really important announcements haven’t been shared like those overblown movie and TV sneak peeks, leaving us to wonder- what about all the noteworthy upcoming comic book releases?

Well, your friendly neighborhood Boing Boing has put together a collection of all the comic book news that matters from SDCC 2015, including some exciting new announcements from Vertigo, Joss Whedon's new original series, and a bushy tailed new relaunch for Squirrel Girl.

Fans of the Bloom County comic strip have been wondering if and when that illustrated home of Opus the Penguin and Bill The Cat will ever come back, and so far we’ve been waiting 25 long years.

Ten Of The Worst Practical Special Effects In Movies

I’m a huge fan of practical special effects, and even with CGI realism advancing at an alarming rate I feel like there will always be a place for practical effects in the entertainment industry.

That being said, there are plenty of times when practical effects are used because of a low budget or lack of access to CGI effects, and that’s when things can go horribly wrong.

This video by WatchMojo is a trip down the bad side of memory lane, reminding us about the times when bad practical effects made us laugh when we were supposed to be having some serious cinematic feels.

The Cycle Of Video Game Addiction

They say the first step to addiction recovery is to admit that you have a problem, and then you have to put whatever you’re addicted to down.

This solution, as many video game addicts know, is easier said than done, and when your social circle includes people who are just as addicted to gaming as you the chances of making a full recovery are slim to none.

That’s why video game addicts should just learn to embrace their virtual lives, knowing there will always be new worlds to explore, new personas to adopt and new virtual friends to replace those worn out old flesh and blood ones.

North Korea Used Riley The Stoned Birthday Dog Meme in Anti-American Propaganda

Image: Imgur

In the ever-strange world of North Korean propaganda continually inflicted on its citizens in order to keep their behavior in check, a popular American meme has recently been employed. Remember the "stoned" birthday canine? Riley, shown in the photo above that launched the meme approximately five years ago, was photographed by the mother of his human at a birthday celebration in Riley's honor. His adorable, squinty-eyed smile caused some on the internet to think he was a perfect representative of the marijuana smoking population. Chill. Smiling. Ready to eat. Meme lovers also ate up Riley's stoner message.

Recently, Riley's photo was snapped up by North Korea's state-run media KCTV to slam America for its income inequality. The photo supposedly illustrates a picture of American billionaires constantly having lap-of-luxury canine birthday parties. The YouTube video below is of North Korean talk show Today's World, which presented the narrative in this program footage.

According the The Guardian, KCTV also inexplicably used a picture of Giant George, the world’s tallest dog in the same report. Perhaps they were implying that Giant George was fed too much hifalutin' fancy food and it make him gargantuan?

The Dark Crystal - Two Gelflings Versus The World


The Dark Crystal by Vincent Trinidad

There's a legend told of a planet called Thra, and a magical crystal capable of giving the planet an eternity of lush life or destroying it outright. A brave Gelfling named Jen sought to reunite the two halves of the crystal and bring Thra into an aeon of peace, but the nefarious Skeksis had sworn to stop Jen at all costs, in order to retain the crystal and its power for themselves. Little did those bird brained monsters know there was another Gelfling out there working to unite the crystal, and Kira had the power to call upon Thra's animal population for help...

How to Make a Watermelon Cake

(Photo: Rakuten)

Rocket News 24 calls this marvelous cake a Baumkuchen. It’s popular in Japan, but originally from Germany. From the inside and outside, it’s a remarkable facsimile of a real watermelon, complete with seeds in the pulp.

It’s made on a spit. The baker adds layers of batter onto a spinning rod until it becomes a thick mound of cake. It has rings like a tree, which is why the German name for it means “tree cake.”
