The Alien Car Pays H.R. Giger Tribute

Filed under: Design, Transportation

In Russia, you don’t mod car. Car mods you!

This Alien car was created by some bored people in the frozen tundra of Krasnoyarsk, Russia. It looks like they created a mold to place on top of a car (that resembles a PT Cruiser) and then painstakingly painted it. Not only does it look downright beautiful, it’ll definitely keep thieves away from your ride. I’m sure it’d make Giger proud.

Flying Penis! Duck!

flyingpenis

Perhaps the greatest use of a remote controlled device in history: a flying penis flew into the middle of a speech from former chess master and Russian political activist, Garry Kasparov. It seems someone took the time to turn an RC helicopter into a flying cock.

After the security guard swatted it to the ground, Kasparov says, “I think we have to be thankful for the opposition’s demonstration of the level of discourse we need to anticipate. Also, apparently most of their arguments are located beneath the belt.” Someone in the audience shouts, “Finally the political power shows its face!” Kasparov quickly replies, “Well, if that’s its face…” to laughter from the audience.

A large flying penis that took nearly 20 seconds before someone decided to swat it out of the air. I’m pretty sure the last thing you’re going to want to do after seeing a flying penis is touch it. Hit the jump for video of the junk in action.

Wash Your Mouth Out With Gmail

Some of the spam e-mail I receive makes me feel so raunchy that I need to take a shower to rinse myself of the debauchery. Perhaps I’d be able to cleanse my e-mail demons more thoroughly with this Gmail Soap spotted in Russia.

Translated to English, the Russian text reads something like “the purest soap”. And for the most part, Gmail is the most spam-free of the free e-mail providers. Even if a few e-mails advertising male sexual enhancement and Japanese school girls seep through the cracks every once in a while. — Andrew Dobrow

Those of your who turn to the Internet for match making might want to be on the lookout, for the next “woman” you are talking to might just be a program designed to flirt. A Russian website called CyberLover.ru is advertising software that can simulate chatroom flirt exchanges.

And we aren’t talking about those bots that are all like “14/f looking for big black daddy man. Come see my webcam at…”. Yeah, you get the point. We’re talking about a piece of software that can entertain 10 woman at once with words of interest. “Not a single girl has yet realized that she was communicating with a program!” says the Russian company. They will offer their software for sale in Russia on February 15, right after Valentine’s Day. — Andrew Dobrow

This Fire Truck Can Really Haul Ass

Filed under: Design, Hacks, Transportation

Actually, it’s not so much a ‘fire truck” as it is a “fire Porsche Cayenne S”—and it was spotted on the streets of Moscow. I suppose it could be used as a quick response vehicle, but my guess is that the FD picked it up so they would look cooler than the cops. More pictures after the jump.

This PS3 ad seen in Russia proves Sony’s drive to improve world wide sales. This thing is huge. The billboard displays a straight message. It reads, translated from Russian “Playstation 3: The gaming spaces of Russia”.

For such a vast country, we guess you need a vast ad campaign. And Sony seems to be pulling out all the stops. (more…)

The Monaco Nokia 8800 stands out like the other Nokia special editions have. ISSE from Russia designs this 8800 permutation with sleek colors and shimmering jewels set into the face of the phone. ISSE is known for their jewelery design, which really shows on the Monaco. The luxury wristwatch like jewel design adds a certain grace to the phone that we have yet to see compare.

There is no info yet about pricing or availabitlity, but by the looks of the phone, and by looking at prices of similar styled phones, the miser will probobly not be interested in shelling out the dough for the Monaco. Though, those of you who are used to extravagant purchases on your gadgets might have an easier time. This is one of those “start saving now” items.
