From SmashTV:

Sourced from over forty hours of 80s commercials pulled from warped VHS tapes, Memorex is a deep exploration of nostalgia and the fading cultural values of an era of excess. It’s a re-contextualization of ads - cultural detritus, the lowest of the low - into something altogether more profound, humorous, and at times, even beautiful.

Born Wright Married Wright: Freedom of Expression:

bornwrightmarriedwright:

Why do people do such things? Do they want to destabilize countries? They know Muhammad is our prophet and we love him more than life itself.

Is that the meaning of freedom of expression? Deliberately hurting other people in their hearts?

A Gorgeous Time-Lapse Video of a Pilot’s Perspective During Flight

Commercial pilot Jakub Vlk stashed a camera in the cockpit of his plane and captured each stage of takeoff, flight, and landing in lovely HD video. On Vimeo, he notes that the video covers the “past seven days of work 8x faster.” Watching liftoff from runways in Prague, Nantes, and elsewhere is an absolutely thrilling sensation. Vlk posted the video to Reddit yesterday and it’s quickly going viral.

GIFs + Sound = A Hilarious Video (and Probably Somebody’s Media Studies Thesis)

Born of the hive mind of Reddit and the editing skills of Reddit user Rasta_Pasta, this video combines the manic looping of GIFs with appropriately ridiculous audio clips. These creations are crowd-sourced from the subreddit devoted to the art form. On a meta level, it’s a brilliant exploration of the relationship between sound and picture in the fractured digital space of the Internet. On more basic level, it’s just funny. Some songs contain strong language.

The Dirty Etymology of Everyday Words :

nevver:

Orchid
from the Greek orchis, which literally translates as “testicle”
Porcelain
porcellana, which literally translates as a “cowrie shell” and the Italian cowrie shell in turn takes its name from porcella, because the shell’s shape is reminiscent of a small, female pig’s vulva
Vanilla
from the Latin vagina, “sheath”
Seminar
from the Latin seminarius, meaning “of seed” and the Latin semen is “seed”
Fundamental
from the Late Latin fundamentalis, meaning “of the foundation,” and fundament, which has meant “anus” or “buttocks” since the 13th century
Avocado
from the region’s pre-conquest Nahuatl ahuakati, meaning “testicle”
Pencil
from the Latin penicillus, which means “paintbrush” or “pencil” but literally translates as “little tail,” the diminutive of the Latin penis, “tail”
Amazon
the Greek spoke of the Amazones, a Scythian race of female warriors a- mazos, “without breasts”
