Don’t Worry, White Folks. ‘White People Meet.com’ Has Got You Covered [Video]

Don’t Worry, White Folks. ‘White People Meet.com’ Has Got You Covered [Video]

Behold, white people! Someone read your Facebook statuses about how the only guys that the ladies of CougarLife.com seem interested in are… darker, and that you love spending Saturdays in The Maboneng Precinct. So here you go, it’s WhitePeopleMeet.com, a site dedicated exclusively to your dating needs. Actually it’s a skit by UCBComedy and it shows up the hilarity of race relations.

Maxipad Company Clarifies Periods For Guy On Facebook [Video]

Maxipad Company Clarifies Periods For Guy On Facebook [Video]

Man, we really are in the era of good tampon/pad/feminine hygiene product advertising, aren’t we? So here’s how this went down: last week a guy named Richard Neill cleverly posted on UK maxipad maker Bodyform’s Facebook page, saying the company had lied to him in their advertising, making him think that periods featured blue liquid and extreme sports.

Backstreet’s Back. Alright. No Really, The Backstreet Boys Are Back [Video]

Backstreet’s Back. Alright. No Really, The Backstreet Boys Are Back [Video]

But let’s be honest here, they never really left that place they occupied in our hearts. So the Backstreet Boys (the real ones) are back with the premiere of their new music video for In A World Like This, which is pretty much the siffest looking video we’ve ever seen.

‘It’s Not About The Nail’ Sums Up Ye Olde Dating Relations [Video]

‘It’s Not About The Nail’ Sums Up Ye Olde Dating Relations [Video]

Gender Stereotypes. Lol. Filmmaker Jason Headley provides an amusing look at a staple of dating. Specifically, he says every man’s heard the words “Don’t try to fix it. I just need you to listen.” and I don’t think he’s entirely wrong. Human beings fall into stereotypical patterns of behaviour because of commonalities in our bodies of experience (and an unwillingness to resolve each experience internally) that dictates our responses to new experiences.

Kruger Park Impala Evades Cheetahs By Hiding In Car [Video]

Kruger Park Impala Evades Cheetahs By Hiding In Car [Video]

You know why the rhino are extinct? Because they are big and dumb and slow and cannot fit in car windows. A group of impala were on the run (the hop?) in the Kruger National Park, passing by some parked tourists, with cheetah giving chase. With nowhere else to go, one of them made the wise move to hide out where no cheetah could reach it, apparently.

MIA Documentary Director Leaks Teaser Then Quits [Video]

MIA Documentary Director Leaks Teaser Then Quits [Video]

Ah no. Director Steve Loveridge has spent the better part of a year working on a documentary about MIA but yesterday he pretty much called it quits, releasing a video teaser for the project on his tumblr before announcing he was done trying to work on the documentary. Below you can watch the teaser, which Loveridge produced as proof of concept for MIA’s label, but the doccie’s since run into funding problems.

Kanye West’s ‘Black Skinhead’ Video Takes Us Back To 2001 [Video]

Kanye West’s ‘Black Skinhead’ Video Takes Us Back To 2001 [Video]

So apparently Kanye West has released the video for Black Skinhead, his first single off Yeezus. The lack of realistic textures makes it, uh, kinda look like Grand Theft Auto 3 which, you know, came out in 2001. It makes me want to file this one under “Aht” instead of “Video” but I’m pretty sure that’d feed into whatever Kanye’s trying to do, which is probably just piss people off again.

Ad Unites “Dragon Tattoo”‘s Rooney Mara and David Fincher with Yeah Yeah Yeahs [Video]

Ad Unites “Dragon Tattoo”‘s Rooney Mara and David Fincher with Yeah Yeah Yeahs [Video]

Say what you will about director David Fincher‘s adaptation of Stieg Larson’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo but if nothing else, it gave us Rooney Mara. And she was great. This new Fincher-directed commercial reunites him with his star, who he’s had washed out into almost Barbie Doll levels of plastic smoothness here, and throws in a little Yeah Yeah Yeahs for effect.

Mos Def Demonstrates Standard Guantánamo Bay Force-Feeding Practices [Video]

Mos Def Demonstrates Standard Guantánamo Bay Force-Feeding Practices [Video]

This post comes with a warning: The images in the video below may disturb or upset you. And that is a good thing. They are fucking upsetting and unnerving and disturbing because watching another human suffer openly in front of us should conjure exactly those feelings in us. It’s exactly why Mos Def has chosen to represent what happens at the US’ Guantánamo Bay (Gitmo) military base so viscerally.

Get This UK Band Drunker As They Play [Video]

Get This UK Band Drunker As They Play [Video]

Making music videos on a budget is hard. But hardship breeds innovation and innovation gets you hits (or some shit). Meet Moones, the UK band that could write mediocre songs for all we care, but had a great idea for a performance music video. They recorded themselves playing their new single Better Energy over and over, with only the addition of insane amounts of beer to change things up.
