Now that is retardedSkechers has agreed to pay $40 million to consumers who purchased its rocker-bottom shoes under the mistaken belief that the shoes would help give them Kim Kardashian's booty or Joe Montana's stamina.
Dreaming impossible dreams.
Sapphire is awesome!
That is retarded but I think it's more the article writer speaking in euphemism. The actual case was of false advertising since the shoes don't do jack for toning your legs, not that it promised you legs like KK's or stamina like JoeMo's.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I know. I've seen the commercials, ridiculed them a lot, and anyone who bought those shoes believing that they would make them fit is an idiot. This is America after all and a commercials like these two http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hs_dKFuIEF0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erhbn3ElJVo are a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I love Skechers shapeup commercials... all them hot bitches.

Videogamers are worthless, entitled shits.
I'll laugh so hard when they release True End DLC: 19.99$
You'll have to bottle that laughter, since that is never going to happen.

Pretty cool
*nods* Damned impressive.

That's probably the best post you've made; pretty cool.
Definitely awesome. Wonder how long it took him to perfect that technique. I'd buy one of his works.

If I had seen that painting before seeing this video, I'd have imagined making it had taken a lot longer than this, that's for sure. Very impressive indeed. Although at the same time it's kind of sad it was created... how should I say it, so quickly and hastily, making it feel kind of mass produced.
That guy's a genius.
I've got mixed feelings about that painting too (and would expand on your point).
On one hand it's cool, and it would be cool if he done it on the spot via spontaneous inspiration or even simply planned it out in his head.
But what I would think is more probable, is that he practiced the steps a number of times over and over so that he can produce the desired results in a short amount of time to the point where it's an automated process.. If that was the case it can be said that it's taken the artistic nature out of it.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
There certainly has been a lot of practice for him to get to that point, but mass produced? More likely, he developed a number of techniques that are repeatable, that can be combined in different ways with different colors to produce images that are generally going to be somewhat similar to this, but not identical. Here's a link to some more of his stuff:

And here's a youtube video of some guy who presumably developed the technique:

Thanks for the link. It helps to know the painter probably has to have real artistic talent (see his paintings of the jazz musician and the Statue of Liberty) and not just a gimmick to produce such cool works.

I found this via bearfood.com and thought it was pretty neat.
That is pretty cool! Weird how much fun you can have with little applets like that.
Has anyone played Crayon Physics (I think it was mentioned here before). Similar fun concept.

Yeah that was kind of fun, and short. I can use it for diversions between long bouts of actually trying to be productive.
