Sloths walking

December 12, 2008 @ 12:51 pm

Umm, why do sloths look so creepy when they’re on the ground? I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen a sloth out of a tree. Look at them! They crawl so slow and those long claws are just asking for some idiot to get too close so that the sloth can impale somebody’s face with them. Then again, the sloth would probably be too lazy to do such a thing. Just getting across the road is an incredible show of effort for the sloth.

Scramble from Sam Javanrouh on Vimeo.

This is a time-lapse video of Toronto’s first “pedestrian scramble” crossing, an intersection that stops all traffic to give pedestrians the right-of-way on all corners (also known as “priority crossing“). I’m simply posting this because I really like watching this video. That’s all.

The iPod is getting some negative publicity from the Australian government as the New South Wales (NSW) government has partnered up with DDB Sydney to create a campaign to raise awareness about the “epidemic proportions” of folks dying while crossing the street with their earbuds in their ears.

See more of the images from the campaign here.

Seriously, are Australian kids just dumber than the rest of us?
This is happening at “epidemic proportions”?! REALLY????
