Items: Video roundup
Assorted videos:
- Fascinating discussion, with images: Are Anime Characters Caucasian or Japanese? I'm a little dubious about some of the generalities, but the video nonetheless adds to my understanding of a topic I've been interested in for a while. (See also non-video article The Face of the Other, by Matt Thorn.) (7 min)
- American-food section of a Berlin grocery store. (Swiss Miss, Campbell's soup, Kraft macaroni and cheese, marshmallow fluff, etc) (2 min)
- Improv Everywhere does Star Wars on a subway car. (3 min)
- Best Old Spice ad parody that I've seen: Study like a scholar, scholar. (1 min)
- See also, of course, the amazing Old Spice personalized-ad blitz. (30 seconds times 100+ videos, but the article gives the gist.)
- 1980s-style Firefly opening credits. (2 min) But they left out Simon Tam, because they were saving him for the Simon Tam, M.D. opening credits. (1 min)
- Charming Argentinian same-sex-marriage ad. (1 min)
- William Shatner stole Leonard Nimoy's bicycle. (6 min)
- Robotic exoskeleton helps wheelchair user walk. (5 min, 4 min)
