For all of you who insist on inundating us with an overload of sepia-tinged cat and food photos on Instagram, this ones for you:

Now good luck getting that tune out of your head this evening.

In my search I stumbled across another artist doing something similar, Daniel Kim. Take a look at his rather impressive 2012 mashup of 50+ pop hits from the year, called Pop Danthology 2012.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

Other pop mashups on this site:

• DJ Earworm – United State of Pop 2011 – World go Boom…
• United State of Pop 2010…
• Top 25 Pop 2009 Remix… Proper effort!

And on a lighter note… not exactly mashups, but close enough:

• Death Metal Friday – Rebecca Black
• Justin Bieber vs Slipknot…

Lads, gather round, and let me tell you a story.

Once upon a time Melanie Iglesias made a new Flip Book video. That time is now. The end.

Epic?
Thought so.

Featuring tunes by Tiësto and blah blah blah don’t care – it’s Melanie Iglesias flipbooking (mostly), and that, my friends, is what really matters.

Right, enough waffling. Take a look:

That’ll do.

Other insanely popular Melanie Iglesias Flip Book posts on this site:

• Melanie Iglesias Flip Book 4, with bonus “stocking stuffers”
• Melanie Iglesias Flip Book 4 – Teaser
• Melanie Iglesias – Flip Book 1, 2 and 3

Consider yourselves both educated and told off.

New jocks please!

Some brand activations can be rather lame… Others? Epic. Take a look at last month’s “Unlock the 007 in you” campaign giving folks the chance to win tickets to the new James Bond movie, Skyfall.

Of course some folks (read: party poopers) are calling “FAKE” on this one, while others disagree. One guy reckons:

From an article in the Flemish news paper De Standaard: this video was produced by a Flemish company named Monodot, and was NOT fake. They did however have 106 people on the set (which is indeed Antwerp Central Station), including people to make sure no accidents would happen.

Well, I ain’t an investigator on Law & Order, so that’s good enough for me. Take a look:

Brand win!

Look how excited the little one is. How could you possibly say no to that enthusiasm

Never underestimate the internet’s fondness for cats.

7-year-old Remi Urbano wanted a cat, but his father said nope. Much nagging later, the dad, Dan Urbano, made a bet with his kids that he (mistakenly) assumed wouldn’t go anywhere.

According to ABC News, he stated that “if a picture of Remi and his 1-year-old sister, Evelyn, pleading for a cat got 1,000 likes on Facebook, he would buy the siblings a cat.”

So the above photo was posted on their mother’s Facebook page, the internet at large caught wind of the challenge… and a week later the photo had a staggering 115,000 likes! Needless to say, they’re now the proud owners of a pet cat – The Urbanos adopted a cat from a shelter over the weekend.

Their dad: 0, the internet: 1.

Yes please!

Once again I’m here to show you a gallery of photos of the latest from the Lamborghini stable, seeing as it’s nearly Christmas and you might be wondering what to get me. This time it’s the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster. You’ve probably realised by now that I’m rather fond of Lamborghinis, as they tend to feature far more than other brand of supercar here on stustake.com. Not that I’d kick any supercar out of my garage…

For the tech-heads out there all the technical specs in their detailed glory are available here on the Lamborghini website. And for the rest of us? Here’s the really important stuff. Figures are as listed on the above-mentioned Lambo site – as soon as they get in touch with me to road test the thing I’ll be sure to check if they’re telling the truth.

Power: 515 kW (700 HP)
Torque: 690 Nm (507 lbft)
Top Speed: 350 km/h (217 mph)
0-100 km/h: 3.0 s
Number of panties dropped: close to infinite. (they seem to have left this all-important stat off the tech specs page, but I’m sure that was merely an oversight).

“The price?” I hear you ask. Really? Does it really matter? If I say $80 000 will you be sure to dash off and snap one up next time you pop out to buy milk and bread? Well, if you insist, here you go: According to Automoblog.net: ”the Lamborghini Aventador LP-700-4 Roadster is listed at a cost of 300,000 euros (45,000 euros above the price of the hardtop). When sold in the United States, expect it to have a price north of the $400,000 range.” Right, that’s that settled then. I’ll take three.

On with the gallery:

I was SUPPOSED to be spending Saturday evening here:

somewhere in the middle of this lot:

crooning noisily, and somewhat drunkenly, along to:

But noooooooo. Because I’m pretending I’m all smart and stuff, I’ll be spending all weekend studying this instead:

so that come Monday morning, I don’t end up with this:

which will in turn lead to a future of this:

That just ain’t right, now is it?

All together now… SHAAAAAAMMMMEEEEEE. Poor Stu.
