For the jocks:

For the nerds (I'm looking at you, Mudede):

(There's a bigger version—including an interview with the artist—here.)

Love it. I especially appreciated the "W" airplane about to crash into stuff. Also, it appears the artist was psychic and placed Michael Jackson into the heaven-like Wonder World. (Conspiracy theorists start now...)

I'd ride this elevator any day.

And as for the first video - holy hell, at 3:20, that be-wingsuited guy's buzz of the mountain road (maybe, MAYBE 20 feet from certain death at 100 mph) is absolutely spectacular.

I really want to do this now.

Resident nerd Paul already posted Civilization (almost a month ago). But it's a cool video worth reposting.

Civilisation is so unusual and absorbing. You're left feeling as though you must see it over and over to get it's full scope and meaning. And, frankly, it has the feel of the silent film Metropolis. High style and epic in proportion.

It would be great to post a link to the people who _make_ the video, and not just to the people who cut out a piece and use it without permission.

The Wingsuit clip is from "Seven Sunny Days" and can be found here:

Am I the only one who thought at least certain portions, if not the entirety, of the first video looked completely fake??
