From the theater of the bizarre, what I’m not sure about is why I received an e-mail saying:
“Thought you might be interested in some fun stuff for your blog readers. Please take a look how fire thrills…… and kills. Watch a fire-breather’s head blow up in a freak accident.”
Now, either the person who sent me this actually reads my blog, which has me rethinking my target audience, or they don’t, in which case I can’t figure out how I got on this particular mailing list.
In any case, they’re right - this is kind of fun, but really, they should be avatars:
Ditto.
LOL!
interesting.
it combines so many issues… i had to follow it back to its youtube birth.
1. things like this will force youtube to a rated/sectioned service, it will assist lawmkers in realizing that all “time”-age appropriate commercial usage of media has been broken due to the 24/7 internet for a number of years…
2. it suffers from the “uncanny valley” of hyperrealism that destroys most emotional attachment to the image. read the youtube twittter like luvs or dis’s of it. beavis and buthead as live beings, not 2d avatars…compare it to the 3 stooges “pain” movies of the past…
is it the same? or is it now different because of its context and intent?
faces of death- the pepsi commercial ?
any one in this peanut gallery familiar with the movie “battle royalle” made in japan a few years ago?
