Bunnies munching happily
Some things are just black and white, and cuteness is one of them.

Sleepy kitty with a wandering head
A fluffy head is a hard thing to hold up.
Teletubbies say “hey hey”
A Teletubby dances to MC Hammer
Demographic-shattering revelation: Squat Teletubby legs make great Hammer pants. In this Tubby clip dubbed over with “2 Legit 2 Quit,” Dipsy shows off his fancy footwork. Is that a backup dancer in there?

Slapstick karate from Japanese TV
If only all martial arts movies were filmed this way.

Daredevil stoners steal giant buds from "Weeds" promo
Parents and regulators may not approve of Showtime’s unsubtle ad campaign promoting the second season of “Weeds,” but it took a bunch of thieving stoners to do something about it. Shortly after debuting on a New Zealand highway, a billboard sporting some giant dimebags filled with green moss had paraphernalia-craving passersby leaping for handfuls of the stuff. The security camera that brought us this highlight clip was meant to ward off vandals, but installing an oversized Tetris console might’ve been wiser. (Via Best Week Ever.)

Big-budget ad battles suicide bombing
This summer, a new brand of wartime violence is lighting up Iraq’s TVs — the kind filmed in front of a green screen on a Los Angeles studio lot. According to Newsweek, the L.A. production company 900 Frames and Lebanon’s EFXFilms spent over $1 million shooting an anti-suicide bombing PSA aimed at potential attackers.
The ad simulates a busy outdoor market in Iraq before and after a suicide mission, followed by verse 5:32 from the Quran and the slogan “Terrorism has no religion.” For a rough translation of 5:32, visit IslamiCity.
