Unusual billboards

Some nice out-of-the-ordinary billboards, good food for thought.

100,000 Paper Airplanes

100,000 paper airplanes were thrown from the rooftops of six 7-11 story buildings in Grand Rapids, Michigan creating the effect of a quarter-mile long rainbow. Along with the thousands of paper airplanes, thousands of musicians came together to play a beautiful melody. This event is part of the Art Prize competition and was done Sunday by Rob Bliss.

Love the pie, hate the chart

This site by "visual & data journalist" David McCandless is very inspiring.

Scissor Sisters Music Video

So sadly, the second I wanted to put up here has embedding disabled on Youtube, probably because the Scissor Sisters don’t want to be more popular. So here’s the thing: click on this link and watch the video: Eyeball Rape

Ok, so the song's not really called Eyeball Rape but here's the thing I absolutely love about that video. If I was standing in a

ditch taht I'd just dug and somebody had a gun to my head telling me the only way out of death would be to describe

ANYTHING that's happening in that fucking Scissor Sisters music video, I would probably just pull the trigger myself.

Advertising vs. Reality

Beatles Rock Band Intro

The new Beatles Rock Band video game was released a few weeks ago. MTV who are co-owns
the new game hired Passion Pictures a London based 2-D production company to create a cinematic intro for the game. Known for the Gorillaz music videos', Passion Pictures uses 2D drawn animation, computer animation, stop frame animation, mixed media, and live-action. Directed by Pete Candeland this intro for the video game is beautifully drawn and fantastic to watch in every sense of the word.
