This is not what HTML was designed for, but it is pretty darn amazing.

I cannot believe this is a trailer for a New Zealand horror film about killer sheep. Yes, that’s right, attack killer sheep, in the style of Night of the Living Dead. But, it isn’t a joke or a fake trailer — the film is currently playing in New York City. Don’t know if I ever will see the film, but the trailer is worth watching, partly because of the accidental (intentional?) humor.

From Microsoft Advertising Solutions, comes a little story about the relationship between a “traditional” advertiser and the consumer, on the verge of a break up. It showcases in a very funny way the current growing pains of the advertising industry.

A predictable ending doesn’t mean you stop watching a movie. This short by Evan Bernard is proof, possibly the longest handshake ever recorded on film. (thanks matt)

1 part NBC, 2 parts Pro Tools and 8 parts Nate Dog. It still has a little bit of club-banger in it, you know what I mean?

This is one of the most strange and confusing advertisements I’ve ever seen. The concept rings clear, and the analogy is a strong one, but the CGI people makes this thing extra creepy and weird (that’s in addition to the concept and the happy Katamari music).

Thanks Mr. Ehrlich.

Sure, sure. Everyone is all excited about the 30 year anniversary of Star Wars. But personally, I’m taking the next 3 years to properly gear up for the 30 year anniversary of Flash Gordon. (I recently went to the Air and Space Museum in Washington DC and saw a movie poster of Flash Gordon as part of their series of films that feature outer-space, which reminded me how awesome this flick is. Hey — if the Smithsonian can feature Flash Gordon, then Wastered most certainly should).

Ah, Queen, that bass line gets me every time….

Every once in a while, there is a man. A man who defies all classification, rejecting codifications like “California Surfer” and “Buffalo Hockey Hair.” This man is Malibu. Watch him talk about his recent recovery from a most massive injury:

I think Malibu is a poet of our times, and he may not be knowing it. Here’s the verse from his interview:

Well dude it’s like this
I saw this guy comin’
and I took the most
EXCELLENT HIT OF MY LIFE!

Next thing I knew
I was on the beach
takin’ in some cosmic rays
gettin’ healed by mother nature.

Takin’ a little brewski
holdin’ on to a beautiful babe
AND I’M FINE TODAY.

In case you missed the moment that inspired this magical moment in poetic history, you can see a repeat in slow motion video:
