Video Game Fanatic Hunts Down and Stabs Rival Player

A French video game fanatic hunted down and stabbed a rival player who had killed his character in an online war game.

Julien Barreaux, 20, told police he wanted to see his rival player "wiped out" after his character in the game Counter-Strike died in a virtual knife fight.

A court in Cambrai, northern France, heard how Barreaux plotted revenge for seven months after the online "killing" last November.

He then located the victim, named only as Mikhael, several miles from his home.

When the man answered the door, he plunged a kitchen knife into his chest, missing his heart by less than an inch, a police officer told the court.

He added: "Barreaux was arrested within the hour and told us he had wanted to see his rival wiped out for killing off his character."

Barreaux was jailed for two years for causing grievous bodily harm, and ordered to undergo psychiatric tests and anger management therapy.

Judge Alexiane Potel told him: "You are a menace to society. I am frankly terrified of the disproportionate reaction you could have if someone looked at you the wrong way in the street."

See the way new technology affects people's behavior and attitude. Obsession can really lead to distortion, am I right?

Funeral - English

The imperfections make them perfect.

Youth '10

Malaysia is having another largest youth festival and that is called Youth '10. Happens three days only from May 28th-30th May 2010. Since today's Friday and the first day of this event was amazing. So lemme tell you a little bit about what was going on at there.

So at the Discovery Festival, there were like a lot of creative games and art exhibitions/booths going on and one of my favorite booths was the Juxta booth. Known as Azeem, ex-UiTM student who used to study architecture three years ago is in love with art and at his booth, there were so many pastel and oil drawings from hard boards to stones and also a very classic walkman.


azeem's artworks

Besides that, it has Youth Photographer of 2010. Just pay RM2 and you can stand a chance to win RM500 if you pose and post the best picture of yourself to Xtra! :)

At the sport section, they provide such games like foosball, futsal and basketball too.I didn't much pay attention on that section because it wasn't my favorite spot.


sports section

Italy Launches Foetus in Cocktail Glass Poster to Stop Women from Drinking

We are doing Advertising for this semester, right? I just want to show you guys a new campaign being launched in Italy. For me, it's kinda weird or maybe even disgusting for some. The advertising campaign carries the message "When mom drinks, baby drinks too". Basically it is a health warning by the government to prevent women from drinking. Have a look at this poster:

It actually shows a foetus in a curled up position in the bottom of the glass. Is this simply creativity or what? I find it kinda lack of humanism though, to put a foetus in that position. But I am not the only one saying that because the governor of the Veneto region ( where the campaign is being carried out ) critics the poster by saying that it portrays a distorted image of women and in particularly expecting mother. And seriously, this poster can just scares people off. But at least, it can make people to look at it and actually response to it. So, is it a good ad, or a bad ad?

You can read more about this here.

Being Fat is Illegal in Japan

Have you guys seen this news yet? Basically it's about being fat is illegal in Japan. Take a look at the video to know more.




I personally think it's a good thing for the Japanese because, look at their meal! It's possible for them to cut down weight; but if it's for the Malaysian's case, I don't think everyone would be happy about that. Why? Look at our meal! Cheers! :D

Murphy's Widower Dies at the Age 39.

simon monjack & brittany murphy

Monjack was found dead by his mother-in-law in his home at Hollywood Hills last yesterday (23/5/2010) night (9.46PM Central America)

No drugs were found in the house.

Write The Future : Nike World Cup Commercial

My brother was talking to my mum about this commercial that apparently was on the TV- if not mistaken before the Champions League Finals- I watched it and its pretty interesting and funny too. It's mainly about the 'what if'. What if they missed the goal? What if they managed to tackle the opponent to save the goal? What if the penalty kick was a success? It revolves around the players from different countries. And the commercial plays along Nike World Cup 2010 tagline... Write The Future.

I think this commercial is basically promoting the brand. Since it's much more of the image of the players with the brand and hardly on the product.

Personally, my favourite part of the commercial is Rooney's part. xD

Check it out.

meaningful advertisement

This advertisement is really meaningful. It doesn't contain any dialogues but it can completely show the main point in it.
have a look :)

making of happydent city light

Last few days miss Nalena let us to watch a tv ads(happy dent chewing gum) and it still fresh in my mind. Whenever i walk to a dark places,i really ask myself "how good if i have happy dent now..."

it's really interesting and when i came back home i search on youtube and watch it again..hahaha!funny! and here i want to share the making of the ads...it's really a lot of work! a lot of effort and hardwork just to produce a 50sec? ads...applause to them!!

Nostalgic. I Know.

Does anyone remember the cartoon Sky Dancers or even the toys? Yes I do. And it was the most expensive toys in Singapore back in 1990s (besides Barbie and Hot Wheels). While I was youtubing ads for our Advertising class this Tuesday (well previous post, two of my classmates posted ads already), I wish I were in 1990s. I missed the moment I play Sky Dancers with my dad at the beach and the kids park. My brother and I used to have one each. Isn't that awesome? And below here is the video of Sky Dancers commercial:-



And I don't think they sell this toy anymore. Even so, it won't be the same like how I used to have in the late 1990s. Anyway, old commercials are nostalgic for me!

More Print Ads!

i shall update something before i get screwed up

so, since cecilia suggested that (post some ads up)

i was thinking...isn't it good to have a chatbox on the side bar? so that people can chat around there? well, it's just a little suggestion :D

advertisements!

hey! since we are taking advertising this semester, i suggest we can actually post up different forms of advertisements (tv ads, print ads.. ) and diff types of them (direct response, non-profit, brand ads etc).. then we get to see more with the help of each other... =)..
still remember christy posted up before a few creative automobile ads in this post which i really think the ads were pretty cool.. lol..

let me start off with a few creative ads kie~

this is the ads of a job recruiting company in Berlin, Germany.

the ads of penline tape.

ads of battery

ads by Zurich Zoo

and LAST one!
the ads that ask u to WEAR A SEAT BELT!

Cheers~

Robot Conduct Japanese Wedding

We all know that the technology nowadays is running berserk but to actually entrusting one's happiness to the technology, I guess Japan would be the first. Look at this news. I find it quite interesting :) The difference of culture and the different lifestyles in different countries sometimes really help in opening our eyes :D

The wedding took place at a restaurant in Hibiya Park in central Tokyo, where the I-Fairy, a four foot robot, wore a wreath of flowers and directed a rooftop ceremony. Wires led out from beneath it to a black curtain a few feet away, where a man crouched and clicked commands into a computer.

Japan has one of the most advanced robotics industries in the world, with the government actively supporting the field for future growth. Industrial models in factories are now standard, but recently Japanese companies are making a push to inject robots into everyday life.

Honda makes a walking child-shaped robot, and other firms have developed them to entertain the elderly or play baseball. Kokoro, whose corporate goal is to "touch the hearts of the people," also makes giant dinosaur robots for exhibitions and lifelike android models that can smile and laugh. The company is a subsidiary of Sanrio Co., which owns the rights to Hello Kitty and other Japanese characters.

"This was a lot of fun. I think that Japanese have a strong sense that robots are our friends. Those in the robot industry mostly understand this, but people mainly want robots near them that serve some purpose," said bride Satoko Inoue, 36, who works at manufacturer Kokoro, who made the robot.

"It would be nice if the robot was a bit more clever, but she is very good at expressing herself," said new husband Tomohiro Shibata, 42, a professor of robotics at the Nara Institute of Science and Technology in central Japan.

The I-Fairy sells for about 6.3 million yen (£47,000) and three are in use in Singapore, the U.S. and Japan, according to company spokesman Kayako Kido.

You can watch the video of the conduction of the wedding from the source :)

The robot is kinda cute anyway haha! But it really surprised me on how the Japanese actually see robots as their friends in the life. This shows the advanced technology in Japan to the extent that the Japanese are so familiar with these high-tech equipments to even trust them enough to take part in the deciding the happiness of their life. If you have the chance, would you allow a robot to conduct your wedding? If I have the chance, I would :D

Goodbye, Metalhead.

legendary man

To whom that love metal and underground music, they might have heard the latest news about Ronnie James (Ronald James Padavona). Padavona lose his battle with stomach cancer at the age of 67 yesterday (May 16 2010). Padavona, who was born on July 10 1942 was a songwriter and also a heavy metal vocalist for Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Heaven & Hell and his own band - Dio.

Apparently, Padavona made a comeback & collaborated with Black Sabbath under Heaven & Hell's moniker for their new album The Devil You Know which was released last year April 2009 and due to Padavona's health, the band had to cancel their tour across the Europe.


May you rest in peace, metalhead \m/

Maury Show - 15 Year Old has had sex OVER 300 Times!!

was browsing through blogs from nuffnang and i found this!!!!!!!!




OMG!!! like seriously what is this??? she wants a baby when she is only 15?
ok that is not the major problem..

the problems are, first of all, she only thinks that the toys, the clothes and some of the stuff that is needed for an infant!
note: i assume whatever the girl is preparing for her baby is enough only at the stage of a baby and max till the stage of child (aged 3 to 5) only!
what about school fees? what about the money for the milk powder? what about the other expenses such as medical fees, insurance and so on???
i seriously wonder did she ever come across these problems that she has to overcome in the future?

and very important thing... will the baby accept the fact that his/her mother had sex with 15 guys, over 300 times UNPROTECTED-ly just to get him/her?? frankly speaking, if it was me, i really cannot accept...

i actually pity this girl... in the sense that, she somehow ruin her own life with her thinking... its like, am not saying that she is childish.. ok she somehow is.. because she never thought of the circumstances on what she did to get a baby.. and she definitely used the wrong and the WORST way to get a baby...

it is SO SO SO wrong that she had sex in the public.. having sex in the public increases the chances of having a baby? HELL NO! i bet it is either she and the guy have no money to get a room or they were just seeking excitement...-.-..

as a conclusion, i guess she have ZERO idea about the all responsibilities of being a mother!

is she to blame? any comment?

Su Ann: Another Quote!

"There is nothing to writing.
All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed."

-- Ernest Hemingway

p/s: yika was right. Robin Hood was extremely anti-climatic, borderline on boring. Reminiscent of LOTR, like an epic movie. But Russell Crowe, FTW! :D see you guys next monday!

Robin Hood - In My Opinion

Robin Hood

So I watched the premiere of Robin Hood three hours ago with my MySpace friends. Truth to be told, I felt a little disappointed with the climax of the story. It is a hundred-forty-five minutes show but yet I can only feel Longstride's strength at the end of the story.

Robert Loxely, a knight and also Lady Marion's husband dies in the hand of Godfrey and Robert asks Robin to send back the sword that he used to take from his father when he was mad. Soon then, slowly the climax tells what happens in Nottingham and so on. Another sad case - Robert's dad; Sir Walter Loxely too - dies in Godfrey's hand.

I don't really like the beginning of the story but somehow it shows how selfish King John is towards England.

Anyway, I do not want to be a spoiler for Roley Scott's new movie. Enjoy the movie!

Erica Blasberg Found Dead.

Erica Blasberg

A twenty-five year old golfer, Erica Blasberg was found dead by her father in her home on early Sunday at Nevada said his daughter's death is "very, very strange".

At first he thought Erica might have taken her own life but when he looked again, it wasn't. And something might have made her taken her own life. Also, this investigation is on pending since he's waiting for the police to make a full investigation over it.

"Either way, I lost her and it’s impossible to deal with." said Mel Blasberg.


Erica was named Golfweek’s 2003 Player of the Year after finishing the season No. 1 in the rankings. The California native turned professional in June 2004, posting four top-10s in eight starts on the Duramed Futures Tour, including a victory at the Lacona Savings Bank Futures Golf Classic. She qualified for the LPGA later that fall.

Capitalism: A Love Story by Michael Moore.

I respect Michael Moore because of so many reasons. One of them is his style of film making. This man is truly the man of the people. Capitalism: A Love Story is his latest work, if I'm not mistaken.

It is a must-see documentary.

"There ain't no power like the power of the people and the power of the people won't stop."

a must watch in May 2010!

this movie is awesome!!
watched it with friends in One Utama yesterday..
got free ticket from GSC so yea..

well,
it was really an awesome piece!
the different types of kung fu (Chinese Martial Art) were nicely choreographed and yes! well presented by Donnie Yan and Sammo Hung!
Donnie Yan is the master of Wing Chun where Sammo Hung is the master of Hung Kuen..

if you are a fan of Chinese martial art, i seriously don't see a point for u to miss this movie..
if you are a fan of movie..
then this movie is something that u can never miss too!

go watch it ppl!
the movie definitely worth the price of RM11...
GSC might be a better choice for sound system? i guess?



oh ya!
what about iron man 2?
has anyone watched it?
is it nice?
do write about it okay?


cheers.
