Shake Your Power Kickstarter

Tweet #ShakeYourPower brings clean energy to places in the world without electricity through the power of music Sudha Kheterpal, best know as the percussionist from South London band Faithless, is launching a Kickstarter campaign to raise £50,000 for #ShakeYourPower project. In places like Kenya, where 75% of the population live without access to electricity, having the ability to read at night or charge up a mobile phone gives people the chance of a better education and also access to services like the revolutionary mobile phone banking system, M-PESA. #ShakeYourPower, is about bringing clean energy to places in the world without electricity, through the medium of music. For the last year, Sudha has been developing a musical instrument, a prototype percussion shaker called SPARK, which converts the energy from shaking it, into electricity. Users can then plug in a light or charge up a mobile telephone. Make a pledge now! Click here

OK Go's Latest Music Video Is All Optical Illusions

Tweet This is OK Go's music video for their latest single, 'Writing's on the Wall'. It's constant optical illusions. Unfortunately, I have a splitting headache so it was kind of painful for me to watch, but I could still APPRECIATE it. Like a statue of a naked man at a museum, but with less trying to take a picture holding his penis while security isn't looking. I have a whole Facebook album. VIA

#MOBILE TELESYSTEMS - #SEXY #OILED #MYSELF #SIX #HOT ... from Alexey Starodubov on Vimeo.

BACKGROUND No one likes waiting. Especially when it’s about mobile Internet. OBJECTIVE Only the fastest 4G LTE mobile Internet won’t keep you waiting. And this was the message we had to bring home to our subscribers. IDEA We got the hottest girls in Russian show business/the most popular Instagram bloggers: Victoria Bonya, Alena Vodonaeva and Anna Sedokova to upload the most staggering pictures with the following hash tags: #sexy #oiled #myself #six #hot #naked #pumpedup #guys #red #latex #ass #withanimals #cat #bear #horse #crazy #positions #wow #amazing #ohmygod. Here it is. Yup, it’s just a photo, not connection problems, as you may have thought. The visitors were at a loss, and the number of comments grew further and further. But two hours later our beauties uploaded a video reveal containing the MTS 4G ad. And they apologized for creating too much “expectation" among their subscribers. RESULTS - The campaign attracted the attention of 1.6 million curious visitors. - And when the other users started to upload tease picture on their accounts, the number of people involved grew to 3 million. - This has been the quickest advertising campaign for the fastest mobile 4G Internet from MTS

This Danish 'Get Out the Vote' PSA Is So Full of Sex and Violence, It Was Pulled Immediately

Tweet If you thought the U.S. had weird political ads, check out this bit of insanity from Denmark: a 90-second cartoon that stars a character called Voteman, who isn't apathetic about voting, or about getting pleasured by five ladies at the same time at the 12-second mark. The video also includes a decapitation, dolphin surfing, lots of violence as well as more sex—as Voteman goes on a 'roid-rage rampage, physically forcing Danes to vote in the upcoming European election (where they'll decide on weighty topics like climate regulation, agricultural subsidies, and chemicals in toys). The video was posted Monday on the Danish Parliament's social media sites before being swiftly removed. The parliament speaker later told the Associated Press that the government should "be more careful with what we put our name to."
