Japanese Pop Act Helicopter Boyz Dance and Demonstrate Nikon’s New Projector Cameras

What do you do with Nikon’s new digital camera with a built in projector? How about the following:

The projector in the new COOLPIX s1000pj allows users to project their images onto the nearest wall. Naoki Ito (whose work also includes Sony Walkman REC YOU and Uniqlo March) strapped several of the cameras to the bodies of the Helicopter Boyz, a Japanese pop act, during a live performance at Tokyo’s Yomiuri Land theme park.

Ping Pong Fighter

I can’t help think that Ping Pong Fighter has been inspired by the Nokia N96 Bruce Lee Ping Pong clip, but full marks for effort in adding the Street Fighter element.

Pint-Size People Pull Pints in Manila

The Hobbit House bar in Manila is always short-staffed – owing to its pint-sized workers there! The place, created by Jim Turner, an Iowa native who first came to the Philippines in 1961, employs dwarfs and other little people.

Manila-Hobbits1

Having first employed a couple of little people as doormen (!), Jim was soon deluged with requests from others looking for work. He later opened the Hobbit House in 1973 and employs little people as bartenders and waitstaff, who apparently come mainly from the slums of Manila. The jobs offer them an escape from their typical second-class status as freaks.

Manila-Hobbits2

It’s a cool sounding place with alot of heart!
