That’s what I call a protest.
Tens of thousands are marching in Seoul against Lee Myung-bak’s 107-day old government. More than 20,000 police officers are trying to control the crowd.
For the past 40 days, central Seoul has been rocked by demonstrations, which began as rallies by hundreds of teenage students, singing, dancing and holding candles to protest the importing of American beef. They have now evolved into a protest against government policies on education, health care and consumer prices.

Jeff Deck and his friend Benjamin Herson are traveling across the country correcting spelling and punctuation errors wherever they see them. (dugg)

If I see these guys in my town, they’re going to need someone to correct the nose on their face after I beat they ass. Just like these dude’s pet peeve is obviously “incorrect” grammars, my pet peeve is people whose pet peeve is “incorrect” grammars.

p.s. What they hell are they doing going to Buda, Texas? There aren’t even enough people there to make grammar errors.

“at 5am this morning myself and a group of others met the artist Brad Downey in the shopping district of West Berlin.

Downey had accepted a commission from the clothing label Lacoste to create a window display for them for the department store KaDeWe.

He had refused to tell his client what he had planned for the window, and they were growing increasingly nervous.
Downey’s idea was, if you’re going to employ a vandal, you’re going to get a vandal.

So, after the shutters went up on the store just before 6am, he took a fire extinguisher loaded with green paint (the corporate colour of Lacoste) and sprayed the front windows and sign of the store from one end to the other.

My job was simply to wait with a bag at the other end of the store with which to conceal the fire extinguisher while Downey headed off to the escape vehicle.
I then headed around the block, changing my shirt, and joined up with J….. who filmed the event, to advise him what the police were up to and be his look-out while he filmed them.

Downey plans to show the video of the action alongside the fire extinguisher as his window display (that is, if his client doesn’t kill him first!) German news sites have reported the action, but seem to think it’s a political comment as the windows are currently showing the work of a Chinese designer!”

Motion Theory co-founder and director Mathew Cullen has been busy lately. There’s a good chance you’ve already seen his music video for Weezer’s new single, “Pork and Beans.” It’s been burning up YouTube since it was released on Friday, which is only fitting, since the video is an homage to all the viral hits before it. For a complete list of the video’s references, check out this page. Wired also links to some more videos and supporting materials.(via Motionographer | Motion graphics, design, animation, filmmaking, vfx and bombastic banter» Blog Archive » Motion Theory for Weezer and O2)
