Mommy, Make It Stop!
This freaky-ass girl robot created by the Osaka University robotics department is making me rethink my love of robots. She's based on a 5-year-old (yeah, a 5-year-old zombie, maybe!) and could give that Chucky dude from Child's Play a run for his money. Ack!

Now This Is What I Call a Public Marriage Proposal!
Remember playing the game "telephone" as a child? You whisper something to the person next to you who whispers it to the person next to them, and then by the time it reached the last person, the message was totally distorted. Here's an adult version, with an adult outcome.
PSAs as Music Videos: Good For Message, or the Band?
Stereogum says this antisex-trafficking PSA will do more for the band behind it, The Killers, than promote awareness of the crime. A collaboration between UNICEF, MTV EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking), and the US Agency for International Development, the video began airing yesterday on MTV stations around the world.

The Green Monster: 8 Acts of Eco Extremism
Yesterday the crying-hippies video resurfaced on the ever-recycling Internet. (Well worth a watch!)
