Japanese TV – Get Your Kid Ready For School, Quickly
Comments OffIn a continued effort to make people work faster, here’s how some Japanese people on TV envisage getting your kid ready for school in 5 minutes or less. Watching it, I think some things are there for show. Such as the trowser pulling up without hands. And the bed acrobatics. Sadly, it doesn’t encourage me [...]
Rubberduckzilla Attacks UK TV Adverts, Remains Awesome, Destroys Tokyo
Comments OffWatch this first… Your first thought is probably “Dude, OMGWTFBBQ!”. Don’t worry, that was mine too. It’s an advert in spoken Japanese (Except the end catchline), subtitled, ending with a giant rubber duck destroying Japan because it hates water. It’s random, but it sure got my attention.

Rocket Sled + Car x 650mph = Mythbusters Gold

Eurovision Song Contest: Serbia Wins, And Good Singing Too!
Comments OffSo, yet again, European television has been hijacked by a long-running international singing competition. The “Eurovision Song Contest” is a yearly event (sometimes noted as a cheese-fest, thanks to the usual quality of the singing/performances) where every country taking part sends a band to sing for 3 minutes, in a desperate attempt to garner the [...]
TV on Demand – 4oD
Comments OffFor a while now, I’ve been wondering about TV on Demand and it’s place in the United Kingdom. Do I really need such a device, or would it be better if I stuck with good old VHS tapes. After a curious advertising campaign, I installed and used Channel 4′s “4oD” service. Quite simply, you can [...]
