Enjoy the rush of being pulled up at customs, the tedium of hours in a cold room being interrogated by someone who doesn’t speak a word of your language? We’ve got just the thing for you! Perhaps better in concept than reality, Vancouver’s ‘The Cheeky‘ – headed by chief lunatic Colin Hart, whose life’s work is to collect “ideas that mock convention and challenge pointlessness” – have produced these rather witty luggage identifiers that, if we were remotely serious and dour, we’d probably advise you against using. But, we’re not – so go ahead, have fun, but just maybe not if you’re flying into Dubai…..

So, let’s get this straight, Three Frames isn’t going to be winning any accolades from high-brow press anytime soon, nor is it likely to win any awards, but for a uniquely subversive art concept it sure is entertaining. De-constructing famous, but for the majority by no means critically acclaimed, movies into a three frame (it’s all in the name you see) animated gif is a bold concept which, on the whole, pays off. Funny, bizarre and strangely cool, the low quality of the high compression file format, coupled with the use of tacky eighties straight-to-video movie clips, lend each image a uniquely retro feel that leaves you wanting more. Good job they’re updating daily then!
Just in time for April 1st, this excellent piece of guerrilla/viral/call-it-what-you-will marketing has already pulled the proverbial leg of several blogs out there already thanks to it’s pretty believable back story and some beautifully crafted computer graphics. The premise of a flying ‘Hotelicopter’ is perfectly feasible as is the entertaining Soviet military story outlined on the ‘Hotelicopter‘ website, dig a little deeper however and you’ll get a sniff of who is behind this entertaining marketing stunt. The onboard cabins are apparently designed in cooperation with ‘Yotel‘, the budget airport hotel brainchild of Yo! Sushi entrepreneur, and former BBC Dragon, Simon Woodroffe.

Wooooo Hooooo, the sun is finally here and in response to this minor miracle trendy doughnut makers Krispy Kreme have come up with with an ideal solution to those ’stuck-in-the-office-blues’ by offering stressed out city workers the chance to have that feeling of a summer lawn beneath your bare feet all day long. The world’s first grass flip flops can be kept for over four months if looked after and will certainly give you a spring in your step.

To add to the summer vibe, Krispy Kreme are giving you the chance to win tickets for yourself and 4 friends to the summer’s most corporate musical get together, the V Festival.
