We’ve seen some silly things here as TFTS and, though this is by no means the oddest thing we’ve featured by way of video clips, I would venture to say with reasonable certainty that a shopping penguin is somewhat out of the norm.
In the video below you can see Lala …

In a somewhat clever bid to promote their company name and their range of products, Hamburg based Dolmar GmbH have produced a impressive motorbike powered by no less than 24 separate chainsaw engines, with the combined power totalling 125kW – delivering 130Nm of torque – being fed to a Harley-Davidson …

You may or may not have seen this new advert from Honda featuring their awe inspiring Asimo robot but, if you haven’t then you’re in for a treat.
A little (probably too honest) background.
The first time I saw this was in a pub this weekend whilst I was supposed to be …

Billed somewhat incorrectly as being the world’s first wing-flapping robot when, in fact, it would appear to be no more than a remotely controlled device, this RC Dragonfly is interesting none the less and, though impressive, I personally find the Cybird featured in this post rather more impressive.

From the offset I should stress that the model featured in the following video clip is by no means a standard scale model but an extremely detailed, finely crafted self-built 1:3 scale replica constructed from individual finely tooled components complete with an exact, working scale replica of the 312PV’s 24 …

For the sake of argument, let’s assume that Microsoft had invented the iPOD. This cleverly realised video works on this very assumption and applies Microsoft’s particular product branding style to the original iPOD packaging with hilarious results (I especially like the addition of the system requirements list).
Though the use of …

Full frontal nudity on Thoughts from the Sidelines? Yes, I’m afraid so, but this video is well worth an airing as none of the delectable fashion models featured can actually stay on their skateboards for very long at all before slamming into a curb and falling off and, with personalities …

There are two types of advertisement. The first is the obvious, unimaginative and somewhat traditional “Here’s my product – isn’t it great” type that leaves little, if any impression, and there’s the type of advert that, invariably though the use of surreal imagery, forces us to sit back and take …

The majority of us have perhaps erected a Swingball or inflated a paddling pool in our gardens to give the kids something to do outdoors having prized them away from their Xbox or Playstation.
I very much doubt, however, than many of us have even considered building our own roller coaster …
