Controversial French Anti-Smoking Ad
A provocative anti-smoking ad campaign featuring teens in a subservient sexual position has sparked a storm of controversy in France, with the country's family minister calling Wednesday for the advertisements to be banned.
The ad, sponsored by the Association for Nonsmokers' Rights, features a teenage boy who could be construed to be performing oral sex on a man in a suit, except the teen has a cigarette in his mouth. A caption reads, "Smoking means being a slave to tobacco." There are two other ads in the same vein, one featuring an adolescent girl.
The leader of the organization behind the campaign acknowledged the ads were meant to shock and said such provocative campaigns were the only way to reach young people.

The Most Disturbing Handbag Ever
I can’t believe there are people who would actually buy this sort of hand bag. In my opinion it is not cute at all, if that was the original idea, but it is deeply disturbing and I can’t bare looking at it.
It looks like some sick taxidermist killed, shaved and stuffed some poor puppy and then made a handbag out of it. There are even signs of Louis Vuitton over the bag. Maybe it was made as some sort of protest against using real animal leather in making handbags, but I couldn’t find any info about it on internet.

All Sorts Of Creatures
Some interesting artwork for those of you not familiar with Matt Furie.
With a long list of appearences mainly around San Francisco, Furie expresses his imagination so well, each and every time.
I personally love the contradiction of this next piece.

Insane Stomach Muscles
This chick just has an insane amount of control over the muscles in her stomach. Still can't decide if this is attractive or just kinda gross looking.
Most Secluded Houses in the World
Some people can’t imagine to have houses in crowded big cities, because they strive to loneliness and tranquility. May be they build walls instead of bridges but it is up for them to decide what and how to do.
The following collection is amazing and it shows great photos of secluded houses, some of them are situated too far to be true and the places they are located are that remote I can barely understand how they get there. Do you have any ideas?

Clavilux 2000 Audio Visual Generator
Clavilux 2000 - Interactive instrument for generative music visualization from Jonas Heuer.
The Clavilux 2000 is an interactive instrument for generative music visualization, which is able to generate a live visualization of any music played on a digital piano. The setting of the installation consists of three parts: A digital piano with 88 keys and midi output, a computer running a vvvv patch and a vertical projection above the keyboard.
For every note played on the keyboard a new visual element appears in form of a stripe, which follows in its dimensions, position and speed the way the particular key was stroke. Colours give the viewer and listener an impression of the harmonic relations: Each key has it's own color scheme and "wrong" notes stand out in contrasting colors.
Furthermore the piano player can switch between the standard 2d view and an additional 3d view of the visualization while playing.
