A couple videos for your perusal:

Have you ever wondered what it would look like if you took videos of people dancing to German industrial techno and replaced the audio with polka?

Yeah, neither had I. But I've got the answer for you, anyway:


Also, here's an ad that will be broadcast tomorrow at the Superbowl:

Really, do they think through the subtext?

Are you an immortal douchebag who steals medical supplies and longs to unintentionally mass-kill all your friends?

Then drive an Audi!

Heh.

Honestly, though, I was impressed that the Audi commercial actually has a message about the product: "Our headlights are really bright."

Which, y'know, is actually a pretty decent thing for headlights to be.

I guess. There sure is a lot of variation in headlight brightness these days.

I still want some sort of miracle technology (my dad once proposed polarized light) that makes the headlights brighten the road without blinding oncoming drivers.

On the plus side, my new car will have forward-pointing light sensors to auto-dim the lights when drivers are oncoming. But it'd be niftier if I could just somehow avoid sending quite as much light at them.

That's a very enjoyable video. Not only do I like the music but the dancing wasn't, had I put this nicely, "heatedly suggestive"! :o)

I'm just curious as to what the deal is with the long denim skirts and painter/HEPA masks.

It's German industrial techno. That's how they dress.

Fashion, especially club fashion, doesn't have to have a reason. Why giant spikey mohawks? Why black nail polish and lipstick? Why teased-up hair? Why low-slung trousers? Fashion is what it is.
