When you thought Shock Mansion couldn’t get any better, we go ahead and deliver hot cars and hot women in the same post! The main problem we will face is trying to choose which tail-pipe we like more.

As part of Transworld’s Skate & Create competition where skate teams are given nine days in a warehouse to produce the most creative skate montage possible, Lakai went down the theme of fire with director Ty Evans. Check out the rest of the entrants here!

It puts the insignificance of our planet into perspective — a snapshot of earth taken 183 million kilometres away can be seen below, where we appear as nothing more than a glowing white blob! Freaky thinking about how small we really are as individuals isn’t it.

NASA’s orbiting Messenger spacecraft took the image while searching for vulcanoids — small rock like objects that scientists believe float in clusters between Mercury and the sun.

The smaller sphere shaped object next to the earth is our moon.

Messenger has not yet detected any vulcanoids and will only be able to search for them when its orbit drags it closer to the sun. As it travels through the solar system, the spacecraft will complete one fly-by of earth, two of Venus and three of Mercury. It will move into Mercury’s orbit in 2011.

The Experiment (a remake of the 2002 German film Das Experiment) is coming starring Adrien Brody and Forest Whitaker from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

In ‘The Experiment’ 24 men are chosen to participate in the roles of guards and prisoners in a study designed to evaluate the affects of power and control. Values are tested and lines are crossed when seemingly normal participants are pushed to the breaking point as the experiment spirals out of control!

Check out the trailer below.

Ahhhh! If you get freaked out by pigeons like me, wait until you see a whole writhing mass of the winged rats trapped inside a catapult net. Dirty little creatures!

Pigeons have been deemed a “plague” in Barcelona, spreading disease and pooping all over Gaudi’s beautiful buildings. To curb the destruction, the city is trying to catch 65,000 of the birds, roughly 25% of the pigeon population, over the next year and a half.

The long awaited countdown to rally superstar Ken Block’s Gymkhana 3 video has ended, and what was revealed today is a music video featuring rap group The Cool Kids, with a little bit of Ken Block and his rally Fiesta sprinkled in.

Unlike the last two Gymkhana videos, which became instant YouTube sensations thanks to non-stop footage of Block doing amazing stunts behind the wheel of his rally Subaru Impreza WRX STI hatchback, Gymkhana 3: Part 1 is a straight up music video infomercial that shows off Block’s DC apparel and products more than his driving skill. When we do see the rally Fiesta in its Gymkhana debut, Block is either doing donuts or driving it directly into things like paint cans and fluorescent bulbs.

The plan is to separate the marketing from what the kids really want, which is footage of Block doing things with a car that prove he’s superhuman behind the wheel. So Part 1 of Gymkhana 3 is the one with the marketing message, while Part 2 will be much more like Gymkhana 1 with just the driving footage. So when can we can expect Gymkhana 3: Part 2 drops early-to-mid September.
