The Do hit chair wants to be hit

Published by japadamus under best of the internet

The Do hit chair from Marijn van der Poll wants to be hit. In fact, the chair comes with its own hammer. When you order the Do hit chair, you get a stainless steel cube. You turn the Do hit into a chair by banging the 1.25mm stainless steel.

Not a bad idea, although I’m not entirely convinced that civilians can make a comfortable chair with a hammer. Most likely, you’ll have some steel poking into your sides when you sit on this thing.

Behold the fanless fan

Published by japadamus under tech, best of the internet

Large fan front view

What is this? It’s a fan. Or, more accurately an air multiplier. This odd looking device is made by Dyson, who also makes those $500 vacuum cleaners that don’t lose their suction.

The air multiplier isn’t actually fanless – the fan is in the base. Air is accelerated in the base and pushed through the ring, supposedly producing an interrupted, steady stream of ‘smooth air.’

I have to say, this thing looks cool, and the idea is great. But the air multiplier will put you back $300 – kinda pricey for a fan. Also, judging from the video on Dyson’s website, this thing is kind of noisy. You wouldn’t want to use this guy at night when you’re trying to sleep, for example.

Really, the air multiplier seems to solve a problem no one really has. I don’t mind fans with blades, they’re powerful, quiet enough and cheap. Sure, cleaning is a pain, but it’s not a $300 pain point.

China Town bus fight

Published by japadamus under best of the internet

This awesome vid has been making the rounds on YouTube today. It takes place in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Apparently, these two women were having an argument over a bus seat and…well…just watch.

I have to say though, FOBs really need to beef up their verbal insults when they come to the US. The “you’re stupid” argument that the chinese woman is using is just not very effective. I was hoping she’d break out the n-bomb, or at least the c-word.

Still, she makes up for it with her flying chun li kick.

If there is one type of chinese that I don’t want to mess with, it’s the large mongols like this woman in the video. She’s huge and pretty strong, and unlike most chinese that are usually quiet and subservient, she really doesn’t take shit.

Anyway, this is a MUST SEE video. Check it out below:

Update: The translation of chinese is below:

TRANSLATION (Sorry if my translation is off)
Old Man#1(0:01 Beat that bitches ass.
Old Lady#1(0:02): Don’t hit her.
Chinese Lady in the Pink(0:23): Don’t let that bitch bully you.
Chinese Lady: (0:09): This bitch got the nerve to yell at me for me asking her politely if i may sit down. She is hogging the seat and won’t let me sit. (0:48): If that bitch didn’t want to let me sit down don’t mean she got to bitch at me. (0:59): I didn’t yell at you bitch why you going off on me. If I don’t stand up for myself, she won’t get scared. (1:44): Dare to fucking pick on chinese people?
(2:05): This bitch hogging the seat and I asked nicely if I may sit and that bitch kept hogging the seat. She has no heart, always bullying chinese people.
Old Man#2(1:26): Hit that bitch.
Old Man#3(1:33): Beat that bitch ass.
Old Lady#2(1:37): Don’t fight no more.
Old Man#2((1:59): Beat the fuck out of her till she is scared!

Insert ‘made in China’ joke here

Published by japadamus under best of the internet

These pictures are stunning. Apparently a 13 story building in China that was under construction just tipped over. Yeah, just like that.

Luckily since the building was still under construction no one was hurt. And I guess at the end of the day it’s waaaay better the building took a spill now, before it was fully occupied.

But still you gotta wonder wtf is going on there in china. If they can train 8 year olds to master the uneven bars you’d think they’d throw in a geologist or two to make sure their buildings are on solid ground. [From Gizmodo]

Uh oh…

Published by japadamus under best of the internet

Perhaps you’ve heard of Brando, purveyor of everything USB and gadgety (including some nice iPhone accessories). However, the Obama KFC chicken bucket-looking toilet paper container seems a little bit…well…controversial.

Although the product has been pulled from Brando’s website, apparently it was on sale to the public for some time.

It doesn’t help that Obama is dressed up in the Colonel’s uniform, either.

Susan Boyle Returns

Published by japadamus under best of the internet

Susan Boyle returned to Britain’s got Talent this week in what was probably the show’s most highly anticipated performance. If you remember, a dumpy, disheveled looking Boyle stunned judges in her debut with am amazing performance of ‘I dreamed a dream’ from Les Mis. Her voice was incredible and the whole performance was very touching.

Boyle returned with Memory from Cats…a great song that has a bunch of tough highs and lows. The song highlighted Boyle’s control well…plus, you have the big money shot 3 minutes and 38 seconds in, which is a great payoff, but one that seems really tough to hit.

In any case, although Boyle started off kind of off pitch she did a great job overall. It also seemed like she had timing problems, but I don’t think she’s getting any feedback from the track so it’s probably just really hard for her to keep time.

All in all, she did a good enough job to show that the first performance wasn’t just a fluke. Still, it is different watching Boyle when you know what’s coming up. But it’s still impressive to hear that voice coming out of…well…her body.

The video is below:

Emails from Cyberdyne’s new tech guy

Published by japadamus under Bob Loblaw, best of the internet

Cracked has a hilarious post that looks at the robot Armageddon from a tech guy at Cyberdyne’s perspective. Check it out here.

One good question is why do the terminators have teeth? They don’t need to consume food, I’ve never seen a terminator bite someone to protect itself, and they don’t talk (at least the robot-looking ones). So why do they need teeth? Or a nose hole, for that matter?

More trouble for Miss California

Published by japadamus under best of the internet

Miss California, Carrie Prejean, has been getting a lot of flak on her stance against gay marriage. Now, I don’t really fault her for this – she seems like an innocent enough, clean cut bible thumper that wouldn’t know any better.

But some pics have emerged that suggest that I may be incorrect here. Apparently, Prejean posed nude when she was only 17. Now, lets be clear here, the photos were tasteful and were designed to get her a shot at Victoria Secret. But still, if you’re posing nude at 17 maybe you can cut the gays a break, no?

You can see the full set here on The Dirty.

Megan Fox, the High School Years

Published by japadamus under best of the internet

TMZ has uncovered some excellent pics of Transformers star Megan Fox. Did I mention they are from when she was in High School?

And yes, she’s even hotter as jailbait. I’m only getting my keys unstuck now.

Slap Chop, remix

Published by japadamus under best of the internet

Vince, the Slap Chop/Sham Wow guy will never be the same after his arrest for assault. Still, there’s something irresistible about his videos.

Case in point, the Slap Chop remix below. It’s actually incredibly well done – I don’t know how they get his voice in sync with the beat like they do – but it’s a must-watch that will be stuck in your head all day.

No more fried chicken

Published by japadamus under best of the internet, food

What happens when the fried chicken runs out? This happened recently, when Popeye’s ran a 8pc for $4.99 special. Demand for the special was so high that many Popeye’s actually ran out of chicken. And that made people angry. See the news report below:

Now, you’ll probably notice that there are…uh…demographic trends evident in this video. What’s more interesting, I think, is that some people act like Popeye’s is the only thing between healthy and starving children. “Peoples have kids that they’re trying to feed with the special, and you mean to tell me that we can’t feed our kids because you didn’t order enough chicken?” said one customer.

Some cameraphone videos from Popeye’s show a pretty hectic scene inside Popeye’s during the special. In the video people the workers are yelling at the people in back, while tons of people are standing in line waiting for chicken. I only wish they had video when they told the customers that they were out of chicken.

Youtube, Britney, Tampon

Published by japadamus under best of the internet

Britney has had her share of problems. And here’s another one: Footage from her concert in Anaheim shows what appears to be a tampon string hanging between Spears’ enormous thighs.

I’ve embedded a couple youtube videos below – decide for yourself. There is clearly a white dangling string…but is it a tampon string? Now, I don’t really have a good idea of what a tampon string looks like, but the string in the video seems to be pretty thick. It is more linguine than angel hair, which makes me think it may be a stray lace or lining from her costume.

At the same time though, it is kind of odd to have a string there. I can’t really imagine how it got there.

And one more thing, I’ve never seen a live Britney concert, but she doesn’t really seem to dance very well. In the clip she’s just kind of waddling around the stage. I mean, I’m not a good dancer or anything, but she just looks all bloated and uncomfortable – that can’t be good, right?

Anyway, videos below…you decide.
