MyToons.com, one of the best online animation communities, now has a ‘Cartoon Classics’ channel on the Vuze Network. Vuze (formerly Azureus) is basically a bit torrent client which allows users to publish and share original DVD and HD quality video content on its network.
The channel features classic characters like Betty Boop - one of the world’s first animated sex symbols, and the cigar-chewin’, spinach-lovin’ Popeye the Sailor.

The Quazen blog has compiled a set of brilliantly-created, photomosaic collages of famous personalities and pop culture icons. These are not your usual run-of-the- mill collages, but art good enough to frame and put up on your walls.

Someone should actually do a photomosaic of Heath Ledger’s Joker using the lines from the script of The Dark Knight movie. I would pay good money to own a print.
This short and extremely well-animated film sheds light on the human race’s interpretation of evil over the centuries.
The earliest civilizations feared mythical monsters and beings, but today, we fear our fellow humans the most.
The video was animated in Flash, and composited and textured using Adobe Aftereffects.

“The Indian Ministry of Information & Broadcasting is, in its wisdom, trying to ban a rather harmless television commercial for Axe Dark Temptation deodorant. Terming it “indecent, vulgar and repulsive,” the Government has written to the Indian Broadcasting Federation to stop the telecast of the commercial on various TV channels.
Don’t these idiots know that people can watch it on Youtube, anytime ?”

Cut Chemist, talented DJ Turntablist, was a former band member of the Latin funk group Ozomatli, and also the hip hop group Jurassic 5. Some of you may remember his small cameo role as a chemistry professor in Juno.
The super-trippy video for his latest track “My 1st Big Break” is supposedly the first commercial music video to be shot with a 360 degree, panoramic camera.
As always, do watch the video in HD if you have the bandwidth to spare.

Rabbit is a multi-award winning, short film directed by animator & illustrator, Run Wrake. The film was commissioned by the Arts Council of England and Channel 4.
The disturbing and creepy storyline of the film deals with the theme of greed, and the consequences reaped by excessively indulging in it.
Wrake created the animation using over 200 stickers (of 1950’s vintage) that he found in a junk shop. He took 16 months to complete the animation and pre-production. Musician and producer, Howie B, and sound designer Craig Butters, collaborated with him to create the chilling soundtrack.

Tree pörn really seems to be hottest thing at the moment. For example, take this viral video from Greenpeace about illegal logging in the Amazon rain forests. Whoever knew that trees could make love to each other like humans do?
The video in question, is itself, safe for work, but the audio is completely and absolutely NSFW.

This one made me laugh.
If you do have to swat flies, do it in true geek style with the Delete Flyswatter.
Made with “high tech” plastic (ha, ha), the swatter is available in ivory or black for $ 7.99 .
This fan-made, stop motion animation video from Japan, has it all. Action, comedy, explosions, and even a damsel in distress. The huge cast includes Gundam warriors, Busou Shinki, Strike Witches and others.
All Busou Shinki action figures have a Multi Moveable System (MMS), which allows for easy manipulation and poseability. The body parts are also interchangeable with the parts of other Busou Shinki action figures, and can be customized without using the usage of any tools.
Watch the video after the jump.
Superman, despite being one of the most powerful beings in the DC comic book universe, has for the most part, used his superpowers for the defense of mankind against innumerable foes and dangers.
But there were quite a few instances, when the man of steel forcefully crowned himself the ruler of many different worlds. The reasons for his actions ranged from temporary amnesia to evil split personalities created by exposure to red kryptonite.
The Comic Coverage blog has catalogued the comic book covers of such issues in which Superman reigned over earth and its denizens.
Californian artist Jeremy Mayer creates terrifying, but, ultimately, beautiful works of art using the parts of old typewriters.
He does not solder, weld, or glue the parts together, preferring instead, to just “cold” assemble them.
Mayer has planned a future exhibition of his works at the Device Gallery in La Jolla, California, in the year 2009.
Visit his official site to see some great pictures of his amazing sculptures.
