What is going on here? Can this really be face paint, or is it a mask, or some kind of combination paint and mask? Watch the video and see. Makeup artist Maria Malone is responsible for this disturbing yet oh-so-cool display of facial transformation from the movie Mars Attacks! -via Geeks Are Sexy

Brilliant! I love seeing people get creative with makeup like this, thinking outside the box and using their facial muscles to animate it.

Given the behavior of most of the people shown (I think these are mostly Russian dashcam videos), they all should expect to have a brush with death. Many are walking into traffic without looking, walking into traffic while texting, driving at high speed in snowy conditions or with low visibility, or even trying to overtake an oncoming car while crossing the street!
And then there's the car in Arabia, which was probably an incident of 'drifting'; a nihilistic and suicidal practice of disaffected and bored Saudi men.
I showed some of these videos to my daughter when she was learning to drive, in order to show her the kinds of things she should be aware of for 'defensive driving'.
