4-Ton Transformer Stands Tall in Hollywood



An 8,200-pound, life-size version of Bumblebee, the speech-impaired autobot, arrived at the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and North La Brea Avenue in Hollywood on Tuesday to promote the release of Michael Bay's Transformers on DVD and HD DVD.

Bumblebee will be chilling, waiting for fans to come pose in front of him and take cell phone pictures, at the West Hollywood Gateway shopping center till Sunday. That's when a forklift and 10-ton crane will pick up the 18-foot-tall Transformer and take him away to some sad prop-storage room where he will sit and rust, hidden away from the world forever, dreaming of the time he was a movie prop and crying tears of lubricant thinking about how useless his life has become.

diesel goes viral

Infectious viral videos spreading through YouTube are all the rage in advertising these days but it's rare for a major fashion brand to hop onto the bandwagon. Unless of course, you're Diesel, a company that is known for its inventive (and sometimes absurd) marketing tactics.



In the video above, the Italian brand remixed a cheeseball instructional disco dance video to advertise their Freezy Sneakers. Somehow, through some CGI or editing brilliance, they managed to outfit the instructor in Diesel sneakers while he shook his hip-thrusting groove thang.

richard simmons needs you


Crazed exercise Deal-a-Mealer Richard Simmons is planning on hitting the pavement this Halloween, and he wants his public to decide his costume. To enter, one has to register on his official website -- with the winner getting a month of free access to his "Club House." Sweatin' to the Oldies!
Most people dream about undressing celebrities, but in this case, it seems highly appropriate that the contest is to clothe Richard Simmons.

a spaceship...in japan...in the water


The only thing cooler than traveling to Tokyo to see the futuristic sights is to do so while riding around the city in what amounts to a floating spaceship. The Jicco Floating Bar ferries Tokyo barflys around the city enclosed in a Flash Gordon-esque ship while the floor of the vessel changes colors--for that warp drive effect. You can get a taste of spaceship life for just 2,500 yen ($21 U.S.). And, if you really want to let your geek-turned-pimp flag fly, the vessel is also available for private parties.
