If you've not yet seen this video, I suggest a quick viewing. It's a humorous take on government ministers' dislike of taking responsibility for environmental matters, and is as relevant now as it was back in 1991, when many people mistook it for a real interview. The performers here are Australian comics John Clarke & Bryan Dawe.
My intrepid colleagues over at Shiny Shiny are currently reporting on all things geeky over at CES in Vegas, and from the videos they've been beaming into the office, it seems that a lot of eco-tastic bits of gadgetry are making their debuts at the show.
They include a highly futuristic looking 'bracelet' from Nokia -- the 'Eco Sensor' -- which would be sold alongside its new eco friendly handsets and provide environmental information, such as air quality and indeed the health of the wearer through tracking vital signs. We can only assume it would also function as a watch, although the chances of anyone in this fashion-fickle world wearing the same bracelet daily (especially some men) seem pretty slim. Is this a truly green solution that might see the light one day? Follow the jump for a demonstration!
Onion News Network took on a real hot potato of an issue today when they declared that 'animals should be doing more for the animal rights movement'. I wonder what PETA would have to say about that...
This is Greg Craven: secondary school science teacher and environmental harbinger of doom. His video, 'The Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See', has prompted a storm on the web, with over 4 million viewers (and a fair few critics among them). Craven argues that An Inconvenient Truth didn't go far enough, and the video is well worth a watch. See it below, and draw your own conclusion!
Charity shopping is set to be bigger than ever in 2008, with more of us choosing to recycle our cast-offs and embracing individual style. Our friends on our sister site Catwalk Queen decided to apply their fashion know-how to a bit of second hand shopping, and brought back the goods for this video. Check it out and find out what they discovered for a modest £25.
Here's some good news if you were hoping to enter our Media Talent Award in association with LG. We've heard that a few would-be contestants would like a little longer to answer that elusive question 'what is style?' so in the spirit of festive goodwill, we've extended the entry deadline to 1st January.
The standard of entries so far has been very high, and we're having a lot of fun arguing chatting amongst ourselves about our personal faves. Here's one that I felt deserved a mention:
Once we've seen all the entries, three people will be shortlisted from each category: that's video presenters and video editors. If chosen, you will need to be able to attend a judging date on week commencing 14th January at the Shiny Media office in London.
We're still running our video talent competition with those eco-friendly washing machine and phone people at LG, and entries are coming in thick and fast, getting more varied, more adventurous and just plain wacky in their answer to the question 'what is style'. This one, which comes all the way from Finland, cites 80s movie The Neverending Story as the definition of style. And who are we to argue with that?
