Uncomfortable Plot Summaries
These
Uncomfortable Plot Summaries are hilariously accurate.
BATMAN: Wealthy man assaults the mentally ill.
BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA: Redneck trucker kills Chinese immigrants.
HARRY POTTER: Celebrity Jock thinks rules don’t apply to him, is right.
JURASSIC PARK: Theme park’s grand opening pushed back.
There are loads and loads of them.. well worth a
read through.

Misc Readings
- Live Wrong and Prosper - for $1,000,000 would you ______? That's the basic premise of the site and curator Kali gives her, often hilarious, response to them all. Worth a read for sure.
- Goodbye, Google - an insightful message from Google designer Douglas Bowman and his reasons for departing the company. I believe it. Via Jamie.
- Adobe Text Layout Framework - anyone that develops websites needs to take a look at this. Developers will appreciate the new control over text and Designers will be relieved that they can finally start comping sites that have columns of type intended for a Flash area. Win Win.

Lee Hanyi
I've been enjoying almost all of the works from
Lee Hanyi but
these pieces in particular are quite appealing. I always love it when an artist can effectively take a book or existing piece of art (or, in this case, both) and make something new and compelling from it.
On a completely different vibe, you gotta see these
Second Hand Smoke photos - hilarious.

Urban Camouflage
The idea of
Urban Camouflage is a highly amusing on to view online but if you actually encountered such a thing while out doing some shopping I can guarantee it would be terrifying. The multi-colored paper outfit reminds me of
something but the lumbering mass of cardboard boxes is both hilarious and frightening to see move around.

Dolan and
Age of Awesome.

Friday Videos - Feb. 27th, 2009
It's Friday. Time to relax and neglect your job once again. I think these videos will not only provide said needed entertainment but could easily lead you down a path of YouTube browsing that could, quite possibly, take up your entire day.
That's it! Have a great weekend!

Friday Videos - Feb. 20, 2009
This week I'm making a real effort to start including videos at the end of the week that aren't exclusively absurd. Don't get me wrong, these are all intended to be entertaining but I think we could all stand for quality over quantity.
- John Tesh NBA Theme - the answering machine message at the beginning is great; as is the fact that the song is actually really long.
- Obama's Elf - stupid but one of those Must See videos. You will get an email forward with this in it sometime in the next 2 weeks.
- White Denim - Shake Shake Shake - quality video from a quality band. This one fits their aesthetic quite well.. I love that it's pretty nonsensical but engaging the whole time.
- Sony Releases Stupid Piece of.... - it goes without saying this is riddled with profanity, so be warned. However, it's the profanity that makes it oh so good. The billboard for the product is the best part.
- Conan on Charlie Rose - yea, it's an hour long but it's worth it.
- Josh Fenderman - I've been encoding my Mr. Show DVD's recently and it's still a hilarious show. The Fenderman Dance never gets old.
Have a great weekend!

Friday Videos - Christmas Edition
As usual, watch them above,
here or individually below.
- The Christmas Tree - yes, this is old but it's still hilarious and should be a classic every year.
- Ringo Remembers - even Ringo doesn't like that McCartney Christmas song.
- Firehouse 5 + 2 - these guys are endlessly entertaining, insanely talented and perfect for the Holiday season.
- Jonzun Crew - not Christmas related at all but consider it a gift. It's like Daft Punk and Mad Max blended together in a perfect fusion of early 80's hip-hop.
- Tumbling Mishap - i like the crowd scream in anticipation almost more than the mishap itself.
- Flaming Lips White Christmas - maybe not the worlds most stellar performance but it's the thought that counts.
- Muppet Family Christmas - nothing is more uplifting and feel good than a room full of Muppets. I really loved this clip in particular but the audio bugged out about 1:10 in.. quite unfortunate.
And that's it! The final Friday video set for the year and certainly one of the final yewknee posts of the year. I may be back with a few posts during the break but I'm looking forward to some downtime.
Merry Christmas to everyone. Happy Holidays. Happy New Year. Have a great one!

Things To See / Read
- Diesel: SFW XXX - taking the idea from here and animating it. The results are hilariously awesome but incredibly work inappropriate. You've been warned. Via Mike.
- Internet Running Out - at least the IP address schema we're currently using is running out.
- Steve Ballmer Goes Nuts (Again) - this guy makes me sad with his level of insanity and enthusiasm.
- sElf - Hellglass - Mahaffey struggles to find inspiration. Another clip from the Spaceland DVD that never saw the light of day thanks to this and AC/DC lawyers (so the story goes).

Before You Die...
Before I Die I Want To... is a simple art project. Take a polaroid of a subject and ask them to label the image with what they want to do before they die. Interestingly enough the answers usually fall into one of three categories - incredibly simple to achieve, so overtly emotional it will never be achieved because it's so abstract or absurd and hilarious. Examples:
- Before I Die I Want To Be A Mom (easily achievable)
- Before I Die I want My Spirit To Be Free (obtuse and overly emotional)
- Before I Die I Want to Have Many Chances At 3 Way Sex (hilarious).
All that being said, the best answer is shown along with this post...
"I Never Die."
