What’s the only proven way to amp up the cute factor of the Disney World Christmas parade even higher? Tilt-shift that sucker!

Drop The ‘Raid’…Throw Some Pies.

John Jude — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 13:58:34 +0000

Yeah yeah yeah…bees are some of the most important insects in the animal kingdom, and without them our fragile ecosystem would most likely collapse disastrously. But you know what? I still hate them.

Unfortunately, nowadays when you pick up a can of ‘Raid’, you end up getting dirty looks from hippies and stinking up the joint. Instead, build a teeny-weeny catapult and get all ‘Three Stooges’ on their bee asses by throwing pies at them!

These videos just keep coming, and each one is dare-I-say ‘cuter’ than the next. I know, I know…’cute’ is a horrible word, but tilt-shifting make cities undeniably adorable. Enjoy:

If Foodies Ruled The Planet

I wouldn’t mind living in the miniature, mouth-watering, and food-obsessed world of artists Akiko Lda & Pierre Javelle. Is it lunchtime yet?

Click on the photos to make the already gigantic food even more gigantic-er.

Tiny Cardboard People = Small In Size, Huge In Pathos

John Jude — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 23:12:27 +0000

Singapore artist Anton Tang has managed to breathe life into tiny cardboard boxes, creating miniature scenes with big emotional punches. Enjoy:

“Be Careful”

“Lonely Hopscotch”

“Bully”

“Nothing Lasts Forever”

“Bumpy Ride”

“By Your Side”

“Suicide”

Phew…that was an emotional rollercoaster. If you think you can handle more, check out Anton’s site. The little guys are actually called Danboard Figures, and are characters in a popular Japanese manga. You can buy a plastic Danboard figurine here and create your own scenes of happiness, loneliness, and ultimately suicide! Fun!

It’s Not The Size Of Your Cannon That Matters…

If I had this amazing little contraption when I was 8, I would have terrorized my next door neighbor’s Barbie Dream House until it came crumbling down in tiny pink pieces.

Bwahaha!!!
