Well done, sir.

This Is Accurate, You Should Watch It of the Day: Short blurb describing the video above as being a rather observant parody trailer in which actors self-referentially reenact many clichés often utilized by academy award-baiting films.

“Most people have heard of China’s one-child policy or know the preference in some societies for boys. But few appreciate how bad the problem is, or that it is rising. Killed, aborted or neglected, at least 100m girls have disappeared. Modernity has often made the problem worse: cheap ultrasound scans make it easier to detect the sex of a fetus; the trend towards smaller families makes it still more vital to make sure the children are boys. And the problem has spread beyond Asia. Opponents of abortion will see this as mass murder. But it poses ugly questions for everyone—not least because of the excess of men it is creating. China alone stands to have as many unmarried young men—bare branches, as they are known—as the entire population of young men in America.”

architecture turned into enjoyment and participation.

instead of contemplating the void of the guggenheim museum’s central space, JDS architects have proposed an experience which sees a trampoline net spiraling down the institution’s rotunda. this idea plays on frank lloyd wright’s original scenography for the guggenheim in which he envisioned patrons visiting the exhibition from the top, downwards.

Oh my God.

That’s pretty awesome.

This would’ve made that shootout scene from The International even more awesome.

“‘Well, I’ve got a kid now who is better than all of them and he’s in Delaware. You gotta take a look at him.’
Clarkson then directed Kiffin to a video of Sills that is making the rounds on YouTube.
Kiffin watched it and called him back immediately.
‘He was like, ‘This kid is incredible. How old is he again?’
‘I was like, ‘That’s the problem, he’s 13.’ ‘”

- In a bold new strategy, USC has decided to start recruiting 13 year-olds for its football team off YouTube.
