If you’re into mindless gaming (literally), you’ll love MobZombies for the iPhone.

WatchAmazing. IKEA Heights is a scripted melodrama that is fully filmed in the open/busy Burbank IKEA… It is great to see other customers and employees caught in the background looking bewildered and surprised… Pop up drama! (sorry if this is old)

Watchthis is amazing…
Two thieves on a motor-scooter flew by and snatched a womans purse on a street in Wenzhou, China. Surveillance video shows a man riding a bicycle. As he was passing by the front of a hotel near where the thievery happened, he stopped, calmly got off his bicycle, picked it up, and then threw it at the thieves. The bicycle hit them, they lost control, and crashed to the...
