Diesel gave out knee pads



Happy Creative Services, Bangalore, India:
Task at hand was to come up with an in-store promotion idea to run along the 'Sex sells Unfortunately we sell jeans' campaign to help increase sales. So we created the Knee.J, a spoof sex toy of sorts to be given away to all customers that ran a bill above $ 150. One day from running posters and e-mailers, the stores saw an instant increase in walk-ins. Customers were all eager to get their hands on the Knee.J. What was meant to be a one-store activity got enough publicity to manufacture more pieces and take them across all stores. The sales picked up by 40% and customers were spotted kneeling for more.

1. Any ideas what my book club should read next? Ideally a novel that's not science fiction or fantasy. (In the past, we've all liked Bonfire of the Vanities, The Time Traveler's Wife, and I Am Legend, which we just finished.)

2. Useful advice from OK Cupid: "Among all our casual topics, whether someone likes the taste of beer is the single best predictor of if he or she has sex on the first date."

Alabama is using a woman in a cheerleader's uniform...




Alabama has a livefeed showing incoming faxes from football recruits. A woman in a tiny cheerleader's uniform collects the faxes. Keep it classy Alabama. Via.

1. NASA:
On November 26, 2010, Pakistani fishermen returned from a day at sea to report that a new island had emerged. The tiny dot of land was a mud volcano, and it was still visible on January 11, 2011, when the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on NASA’s Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite acquired the top image. The mud volcano was absent in a previous overpass on February 11, 2010, shown in the lower image.

There’s no need to change any maps, however; mud volcanoes have risen off the coast of Pakistan in the past and disappeared again within a few months, washed away by the waves and currents in the Arabian Sea. It is quite likely that this new volcano will meet the same fate. Indeed, a stream of pale brown sediment was snaking away from the volcano to the west on January 11, suggesting that erosion was already underway.

Sym-Bionic Titan with a stripper pole

Sym-Bionic Titan is a great show, and Episode 10, "Lessons in Love" was no exception. Well-paced, funny, unpredictable. But the show is rated PG and airs at 8:00 p.m. and reairs at 8:30 a.m. on Cartoon Network.



A kid's cartoon should not involve a cheerleader trying to seduce a fat geek by dancing on a pole as "Shake It, Shake It, Booty Quake It" blares:








For the time being, you can watch the episode below. There are lots of angry comments at Youtube.

1. Penelope Trunk talks about her sex life and failure as a nude model. It's one slapstick moment after another.

2. The LA Times says a recent poll shows Californians don't support tax increases or spending cuts. "That paradox rests on Californians' firm belief that the state's deficit — estimated last week at nearly $25 billion over the next 18 months — can be squared through trimming waste and inefficiencies rather than cutting the programs they hold dear." I don't see how people could possibly believe that. The public school system can't even afford janitors and has to beg parents to at least help keep the dining areas clean.

1. Gregg Easterbrook:
The U.S. Treasury is seeking to save $100 million per year by removing nickel from the nickel; nickel lobbyists are fighting this in Congress. The International Zinc Association is lobbying to maintain the existence of the penny, which is mostly zinc. If the United States, at a time of record mega-deficits, can't even get rid of pennies because members of Congress fear the loss of donations from the zinc lobby, how will fiscal sense ever be established?

Teddy Newton's Day and Night



Teddy Newton's Day and Night, the short film that played in front of Toy Story 3, has been turned into a hardcover book. If you haven't seen the short, this video shows a small part of the film, as well as some of the pitch:



This film shows talks about the creation of the book and shows several interior pages:



And here's a totally unrelated project by Teddy Newton and Bert Klein. In Boy's Night Out, which was created for a Playboy animation contest, a too young boy visits a strip club:
