This one, while not any sort of cartoon character, is such a great rendition of Super Meat Boy that I just had to include it.

Ranging from an affordable $10 to a “rich eclectics only” $7,000, Art from Steel will immortalize anything you can dream of in cold, spiky metal. From cars and Terminators to Star Wars and Mickey Mouse, Art from Steel has a huge selection of pre-made statues for purchase.

What’s that? Not a fan of Transformers, Doctor Who, Star Wars or Back to the Future? Still have a soul? In special circumstances such as this they’ll do their best to “make almost anything from steel and reproduce ideas and or images to exact specifications.” They really aren’t afraid to talk themselves up, and with good reason.

Alien Queen (6 feet 7 inches) $4,999.99

Optimus Prime (7 feet 3 inches) $6,999.99

Anubis (5 feet) $3,499.99

Arnold Terminator (7 feet 3 inches) $5,999.99

These are just some of the most expensive and most intricate, but there are still plenty reasonably priced statues at the Art from Steel website.

What happens when an MI:7 trained agent takes a girl on a date to his favorite restaurant slash ballroom? While his true background is clouded in a haze of hearsay and obscured by a black censor marker, you can draw your own conclusions from the videos below.

I’m not really a beer drinker myself (and by that I mean I can’t stand the stuff) but if there were ever a marketing campaign enough to convince me my opinion was wrong, this would be it. The behind-the-scenes video is below as well but keep in mind that it isn’t your normal “behind-the-scenes” fare. I guess what I’m trying to say is, even if you don’t drink or you hate Heineken, these are still two amazingly-produced videos worth the time it’ll take to get into them.

The song in the commercial is “Jaan Pehechaan Ho” by Mohammed Rafi, another quite enticing part of the video.

Despite “common sense” urging him to do otherwise, Louis CK recorded a special at the Beacon Theater with new all kinds of new material and is currently selling it for just 5 dollars. That’s just 5 dollars for a “no DRM, no regional restrictions, no crap” copy of Louis CK: Live at the Beacon theater to have and to hold forever. This was awesome enough in itself…then 200,000 people bought the damn thing and made the project over 1,000,000 dollars. Despite this, Louis continues to shine and has decided to distribute the money in the manner described below:

hi. So it’s been about 12 days since the thing started and yesterday we hit the crazy number. One million dollars. That’s a lot of money. Really too much money. I’ve never had a million dollars all of a sudden. and since we’re all sharing this experience and since it’s really your money, I wanted to let you know what I’m doing with it. People are paying attention to what’s going on with this thing. So I guess I want to set an example of what you can do if you all of a sudden have a million dollars that people just gave to you directly because you told jokes.

So I’m breaking the million into four pieces.

the first 250k is going to pay back what the special cost to produce and the website to build.

The second 250k is going back to my staff and the people who work for me on the special and on my show. I’m giving them a big fat bonus.

The third 280k is going to a few different charities. They are listed below in case you’d like to donate to them also. Some of these i learned about through friends, some were reccomended through twitter.

• The Fistula Foundation
• The Pablove Foundation
• charity: water
• Kiva
• Green Chimneys

That leaves me with 220k for myself. Some of that will pay my rent and will care for my childen. The rest I will do terrible, horrible things with and none of that is any of your business. In any case, to me, 220k is enough out of a million.

If you haven’t already, throw 5 dollars at a comedy special worth 10 times that, you know, for the children.
