This is easily the most awesome yet strangest video I have seen in recent memory. Watch as Sir Ben Kingsley takes on his most challenging role yet: Ian MacKaye circa 1980.

Originally seen on YesButNoButYes, is a clip from an Indian reality show, Dadagiri. Each of the contestants on the show have to deal with college hazing of some sort from a variety of hosts. After enduring that and competing with one another, the final contestant standing wins Rs. 50,000.  Each contestant that gets eliminated is rewarded with a Fear Factor style feast to be eaten off a toilet bowl…  Anyway, in this clip, things get out of hand. Watch and see why this is the meanest reality show in India.  On a side note, I feel bad for the contestant that raged against Esha - the Goddess.  His reaction definitely wasn’t in his favor.

Here is an interesting commercial for the Norwegian National Lottery.  Each of the 6 individuals either dodged death or got lucky in one way or another. Henceforth, feeling like a million bucks.  What I don’t get is how the motorcyclist got tossed into the pool.  The commercial may seem mediocre, but its definitely more interesting in comparison to our “Lady Luck” campaigns.  Add in Dntel’s “This is the dream of Evan and Chan” and you’ve got a catchy commercial worth a view or two.

Fourteen years in the making, it looks like Guns ‘N Roses’ long awaited Chinese Democracy is finally set to be released (without Shaq’s freestyle). Just to put this in perspective, it took the Beatles ten years to record and release their entire discography.

Really, Spain?

In what is being explained as a playful “wink” to one of their Chinese sponsors, the Spanish national basketball team (including Raptor, Jose Manuel Calderon and Laker, Pau Gasol)  made “Chinese eyes” for a full page ad in Spain’s best selling newspaper.

Calderon attempted to defend the team shot, explaining, “…we have great respect for the Orient and its people, some of my best friends in Toronto are of Chinese origin.”

Chinese officials responded by putting peepee in the team’s Coke.

Ummmm …. I had to put these out there because I feel like this is kind of a perfect example of what you should never put your feet through. Talk about much too much - these Miu Miu sequined pumps are likely to blind unsuspecting passersby. But hey, they would definitely be a conversation starter. Or stopper. And you’d be the only one at the party wearing them. Just don’t wear them with orange.
