With Swine Flu fears rampant these days it's obvious face masks aren't just for doctors, nurses, Eric Stoltz, Jim Carey or Michael Jackson anymore.

Nor do they have to come in just boring white or tired old light blue.

You have to protect yourself right? But why be boring.

Now face masks can be creepy, scary, ugly, stupid and just plain weird.

Have a look.

Jerry Seinfeld once famously asked "Who would order a license plate that says 'Assman'?" It was a good question, and the answer turned out to be a proctologist.

As I got off the bus yesterday on my way home, I saw and snapped the above license plate, and again the question has to be asked - who the hell would order a license plate that says "Poopz"?

These folks put a lot of work into a clever video that was slated to take the internet by storm later this year. Alas, that dream was recently dashed, so they are throwing it out there for what it's worth. It's still clever and well done, and deserves to be seen.

Our 'on-sabbatical' author Jellio makes custom Gummi Bear Lights, which I always thought was a good example of an excellent design idea that proved even better in execution.

This, on the other hand, shows what can actually go wrong in the execution of what was probably a very viable plan - Gummi Lighthouses. I think we now have another entry to add to Top Five Things that shouldn't be Gummi. (via Waxy).

Soccer, Basketball, Baseball, the bedroom, these days you can't get away from the art of flopping. Ben Schwartz gives us some insight into the world of professional flopping.

"The Happening" ** (out of four): Writer-director M. Night Shyamalan's eco-thriller starts with a clever premise and degenerates into spooky atmospherics, portentous pacing and stiff dialogue.

It all starts in Central Park. People begin speaking gibberish, repeating themselves. Then they stop in their tracks and slowly walk backward. After that, it gets ugly - the less said about that the better. This sequence of events, which concludes with an uncomfortably familiar scene at a construction site, provides the chilling opening to "The Happening", the latest puzzling and puzzle-y thriller from famously secretive writer-director M. Night Shyamalan. As the posters proclaim, this film marks the twist-meister's first foray into R-rated territory, and it's clear from these disturbing opening images that he means to take advantage of that freedom. So then, why does what's happening in "The Happening" feel so goofy?
