The Bunny is a Tramp
This Motorola viral, SMITH&FOULKES (QuickTime), is kind of cute. If you’ve seen the classic movies reenacted in 30 seconds by bunnies animated shorts circulating on the internet, I couldn’t help but wonder if this was inspired by those.

I’d Rather Be Gregor Samsa
OK, I don’t speak French, so I’m not sure, but I think the gist of Geraldine is that one morning, as a boy was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a woman. He doesn’t handle it at all like I think that I would handle it.…
