Don’t you just love cities?

And one of the most enthralling timelapse video ever seen.

As Adam Frucci says simply on this Gizmodo article – “Well, this about sums up the internet, doesn’t it? Wow.”

The Internet’s supposed to make us smarter, but looks like dumb is still winning.

The art of the subtle.

Everyone (well geeks on the Net anyway) are fervently discussing about this video.

NOTE : Have you watched the video yet? Please do so, because the rest of this post contains spoilers.

—- SPOILER ALERT —

Did you get it yet? Pretty much everyone is saying that there is no mirror, it is actually a window to another similar room, and the chick has a twin.

Then they (the discussers) go on and say it’s a pretty lame trick, yadah yadah, another Sammy viral ad that FAIL (the zeitgeist word of our time)…

… but to me, the bluddy ad was a success! It got everyone peeking at details in the HD video to make out how was it done, and that was the whole point of the ad (shot with the Samsung I8910). It was not about some lame magic trick, it was not supposed to be impossible to discover how it was done.

The trick of the ad was to get people investigating in HD, and I bet my last pants Samsung’s going to come out and say ‘GOTCHA! It’s because our phones shoot in HD that is why you folks can pinpoint so many evidence to support your theory.’

So… pretty cool from a advertising standpoint, though viral or not, yet to be seen. Good going, Sammy.

Real Talents

What do you get, when you cross reality TV, and comedy? You get REAL COMEDY, and that’s what i’m going to introduce today, one of my favorite tv shows ever – Whose Line Is It Anyway? (abbrev. WLIIA)

The basic premises for the show is simple – 4 talented comedians, some stupendously fun party games, zero scripts – and watch the wit and jokes fly fast and furious.

Hats off to Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles, they hold the show up. These two regulars are also from the UK version of WLIIA, which I yet had the fortune to view, but would think it to be even more hilarious thanks to that quirky sense of British humor.

It is really amazing – no scripts, no second takes – it really is raw comedy at its finest. For starts, and for your enjoyment, below are two great episodes, one guest starring Robin Williams, and the other is what I considered the best of the whole lot so far.

Hope you find WLIIA providing hours of fun for you, as they did for me. To watch more, just head down to YouTube, get out the popcorn, and prepare some stitches – for your sides will be bursting with laughter in no time.
