Don't understand how when the characters shrink back to normal size they are caught in mid-air.


Why not? If a character is represented by a center of gravity and a scaling factor, reducing the scaling factor will cause them to be in mid air. That would be the most reasonable (physically plausible) representation, as well. If you pop a balloon the center of gravity doesn't change. The contracted pieces will, on average, be near the center of the balloon and not at the bottom.

Although this is quite a nice vid and very reminiscent of Paul Robertson's work, it's not his. Jérémie Perin, some french dude, is responsible..which I guess explains all the NSFW

This is so gleefully, over-the-top absurd that I don't see how you could accuse it of something like misogyny with a straight face. shortfilms

Let me guess...this is a product of Japan, right?


Good guess, but nope - Australia.

It's done by Paul Robertson

More of his work:

Kings of Power 4 Billion %
Pirate Baby's Cabana Battle Street Fight

Maybe he can get a job at Chotchke's, and wear all the god flair he wants.

fucks sake , they had to put that stupid song in it , which in itself is not a bad song but its so overused that its effectively dead its the photo shop lens flair of the music world.

i have had my lawn chair out waiting to watch it all go down the pooper.
anyone ready for another beer?...
overcast has a eugenics flair to his end solution.lets thin the herd a bit so we dont get eliminated by uber'evolved-virus.he actually has a point,it just has that "brown shirt" feel to it../shivers.
as for myself i like to think its gonna go down like the book of john states.not because i believe in a mushroom induced hallucination,but rather to watch the faces of all the bleating sheep when the "rapture" comes.dumb-founded christians roaming aimlessly in the streets mumbling " i was a good christian wasn't i? why didn't the lord take me?".
now THAT is entertainment.
meh.../shrugs.end of the world?or end of humanity?
somebody already quoted carlin but it deserves to be said again.
"the WORLD ain't going nowhere...WE ARE.pack your bags folks we are going away".

Why do you think your preventative home medication is $875 a month, when it costs maybe 5 cents to make?

How long were the doctors working on your son, and what drugs did they administer? You think that was worth $4,000? A reasonable pay for a ER doctor, in my opinion, is say $60 an hour ($120,000 a year). The drugs to treat asthma shouldn't cost more than $10. So doing some math, I'm going to guess you son was being treated in the ER for 66 straight hours?

Wait it was only like 1 hour?

You are in this position because of government regulation. It is a historical fact that the average time to market medicinal drugs increased 10 fold, and the average cost for drugs increased 100 fold after the FDA came into being. You paying $875 for medicine which should cost $8.75 is a result of the asinine policy you are supporting.

Healthcare and medicine are both highly regulated by the government. Engineering is practically devoid of regulation. You think doctors are smarter than engineers, or that working on the human body is harder than creating electrical structures 1/1000th the size of the human hair?

Why can I go to Walmart and buy a computer which can perform 3,000,000,000 operations a second for less than $300, yet you have to pay $875 a month for some common chemicals?

Asking for other people to pay for health insurance to cover your $875 chemicals is as ridiculous as asking for other people to pay $30,000 to put a Walmart computer in your home.

If being educated enough to understand the problems in this world makes me a troll, then paint me green.

the ER bill is $4000, i thought i said that.
his preventative home administered asthma medication is $350/per month after my insurance pays 40%. he recieves a dose everyday as a preventative measure. when hes in a flair up its 4-6 doses a day. the nebulizer cost $500. we bought it 3 years ago. you obviously know nothing about children healthcare and asthma.

1. i have lived in poverty. i worked my ass off while taking care of 2 kids to get out of it. and that is why i think you should try it. you seem to desperately need some perspective before you attempt to proselytize here.

3. did you miss the 500 posts ive made about how I HAVE WORKED IN A FUCKING EMERGENCY ROOM FOR 8 FUCKING YEARS?!?! so fuck me and my kids because their sorry ass mother chose to be a hourly wage slob providing healthcare to a mostly hispanic and poor demographic. if you want to talk about how much healthcare costs and why it costs so much and treatments, procedures, illnesses, pathologies and tests with anyone on the sift, im sure i can hold my own.

4. the fact is, you really have no business trying to assess the cost and circumstances surrounding medicine healthcare or childhood illnesses.

I thought this was too simple. Should remixed a little more of the daft punk song maybe played with some effects and synths...


I agree that the songs could have been mashed together even more, but the main thing that makes this work so well for me is that everything is in key, in tune, and timed really well. There are a few parts with an original flair that turned out totally badass, but yeah, it could have been done better.

I guess everybody needs somebody to love you can't
leave love lonely cause being naive to it you can just
lose it like that See kisses for bruises don't make it
heal back it be'z the sex appeal that's from the next
and not necessarily the sex and one might appeal to
the intellect having a greater affect on how they feelin'
stimulation breakin down their shields for the real and
as it stands mysteriously curiosity it kills the cat and
offsets them mentally so they're trapped in behind
these fantasies with no action searchin for a remedy
now she loves her man but there is just a different type
of chemistry that flairs when her desires on fire quick
is the fuse anotha loves for hire

I was high like the vocal tone of my nigga Bootie Brown
decided to take a ride to see what's really goin' down up on
the northside of town Of course I bought a quarter pound
of bomb hemp feelin' a-ight like Johnny Kemp on a Friday
night Lookin' right cuz' my shit is tight blazin' blunts to city
lights on Sunset and Crescent Heights Bounce to the House
of Blues then I slid in free wit tennis shoes, sweatshirt, jeans
and no ID. Soon as I step inside the plizace I recognize the
fizace of an epp wit an izass more amazin' than grace So
I waste no time to kick my little I say "How ya doin'" she say
"I'm doin' fine" so I commence to mackin to baby to see
what's crackin So maybe I get her back at the cabin and
start attackin Threw back a shot of yack and started jabber
and jibben Fibbin and adibin just to get her to my crib then
We was chilling on the bed bumpin some Isley thought I was
about to spread the thighs but she surprised me when she
said "oh like that? You know I don't get down" I know my
homies gonna clown cause I let her stick around when...

Now Daddy's home but she's been waitin all night so we
could be all alone This is an everyday thing so we hang out
by the phone tryin to build something real Working tips to
the bone so much loves gone astray that it won't be comin
home no time soon So I dance with the silhouette beneath
the moon and she said if satisfactions guaranteed nothin
else could come between the flight of a new love babe Yeah
maybe we could be cool instead of sharin' this here ship
with the fools... you know ? (that) ... Right now... right now...
right now... right now... baby... Right now... right now...
right now... baby... and she said
I'll give you the world if you want
it I'll give you the world if you need it baby
