real-world, real-time mashup

Gorillaz’ Feel Good, Inc., and whatever Madonna is doing (her legs are too distracting for me to parse her music) were performed at the Grammy award ceremony. This is particularly impressive when the fact that the Gorillaz are a virtual band of cartoons that appear onstage with the arguably real Madonna. Check out Madonna vs. Gorillaz.

cosplay of popular fast foods

ワンダーフェスティバル2006夏のコスプレ : I like seeing the detail and passion that goes into cosplay, but I like it more when people break away from the mainstream game and anime stuff, and start cosplaying their favorite snackfoods.
