It’s not a caption competition until you say so.
An extremely gory, ultra-violent, expletive-laden first person Mirror’s Edge style video for the song Bad Motherf***er by Biting Elbows.
And if you liked that, you’ll be partial to the prequel video for their earlier single Stampede.

What’s better than a sweded trailer?
One that’s sweded using LEGO!
Here we have a remake of the second Star Trek Into Darkness trailer with lens flare and everything.
The Vice-Presidential seat seal of approval.
Velvety to the touch.

Meanwhile:
Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday joked with journalists assembled outside his residence to cover his breakfast with Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny, remarking on a chilly first day of spring in Washington, “We never keep the press in the cold.”
“Just in the dark,” Irish journalist Justin McCarthy, of Today FM, responded.
“Yes, the dark – good line,” Biden said.
McCarthy, who is based in Dublin, later told TPM in an email that it was a lighthearted exchange.
“It was just an off the cuff remark, I wasn’t ribbing him about any specific limits on press access although it is my experience that most politicians tend to prefer to keep the media at a distance,” he said. “The tone was light hearted and the comment was not meant to be taken too seriously, its just my sense of humor.’

Dr Margaret MacCurtain, feminist historian, speaking at the unveiling of a plaque to commemorate the founding of the Irish Women Workers’ Union more than 100 years ago and its role in the 1913 Lockout.
“We are actually at the end of those 100 years, a very unequal society. It’s not our fault. It’s the whole idea of capitalism. Extreme capitalism has divided society into the very rich and those who are hanging on really by the bootstraps. But it would be a wonderful contribution to the 21st century if again we united and tried to make our society in Ireland a more equal one.”

We were asked by Irish creative festival OFFSET to take part in their Art Week, essentially they handed over their website for us to talk about the Irish people we currently find inspiring in the run up to the festival. In return, we collaborated with Irish photographers, seanandyvette, to produce photoessays on those we consider to be Craft Punks and we worked with Louise Gaffney to produce this short filme; le cool’s (Short) Guide to Street Art.
