Lucas Martell's new animated film, Pigeon Impossible: "A rookie secret agent is faced with a problem seldom covered in basic training: what to do when a curious pigeon gets trapped inside your multi-million dollar, government-issued nuclear briefcase." (Thanks, Joaquin Baldwin)

Growing penis tissue in the lab
Researchers have grown replacement penis tissue for rabbits from the animals' own cells. The erectile tissue was then implanted and the rabbits apparently went on to screw like rabbits, successfully reproducing.

Yves Béhar's seven-hour vibrator
Yves Béhar (who is in an epic struggle with Marc Newson to claim the title of "sexiest industrial designer alive") designed this vibrator. It looks like a Miyazaki cartoon creature.

MJ's funeral cost a mil
Michael Jackson's funeral cost one million dollars. His final outfit cost $35,000, and the flowers cost $16,000. Lord. Obviously I'm no MJ anyhow, but when I die, if there's a mil lying around? Feel free to bury me in nekkid dirt and use the rest to feed pie to starving kids.... More.

Great little animation. I downloaded the HD mp4 file for my media center. My son's going to love this.
Those are some serious 'Pixar purple' shadows
I would agree that it is very derivative of the Pixar style. Well done, though. The music could just about have been from The Incredibles, but I guess in that case it was already an homage to MI anyway.
Cute and well done. But aren't pidgeons' eyes red?
Peck peck peck.
Yes, let us debate factual inaccuracies in a cartoon. It is offensive the way they are always butchering their portrayal of real life and doing it by hiding under the "artistic license" banner.
This loophole in the legal system MUST be closed.
You know you've owned too much in Civ4 if you recognize the city-capture screaming soundbite in the background.
Great short, though!
It's fun and all, but why is it that just because something is 3D CG it has to deliberately break suspension of disbelief instead of bending it? The concept of a nuclear briefcase that is also an aircraft and weapons platform is just stupid. And it certainly wouldn't be designed to be operational while the lid is closed, or interpret the thoughts of an inexplicably sentient pigeon to target a bagel.
Just because something is far-fetched doesn't give it an excuse to be inconsistent. I think with a little cleverness you could get a lot more mileage out of a short involving a pigeon that unwittingly flirts with mass slaughter-- using just a plain old fashioned red-button nuclear briefcase.
Evil pigeon like the look great work
