Ahhh. The dramatic chipmunk which took the web by storm about 8 months ago was a simple video of a chipmunk (turns out it was a prairie dog ) turning to look at the camera with dramatic music playing. This must have come from some Japanese gameshow. If anyone knows of the original source of the footage let me know in the comment section.

can’t say where this originated but the dramatic music sounds like it was lifted from the movie “Airplane!”

The original source is a Japanese TV show called “Hello! Morning” starring the members of the J-pop group “Morning Musume” They basically just play games and do other cute stuff and have funny reactions. It wasn’t really a game show, more like a childrens show.

Oh my god! This painting is awesome. I admit is little nerd or geek, but it’s really nice.
It’s a little piece of WWW-Art, modern Art I think. Nice and original concept. Keep Going dude!
