The 2011 World YoYo Contest Winning Routines

Meh, Rygar could do that.
Note: Just hit the jump and watch the video, you won't not be impressed.
Ever wonder what kind of dedication it takes to win a world yo-yo championship? This kind. The kind where, if a trick goes wrong, you could f***ing choke yourself out. This is Shinji Saito performing his 1st Place 2A division-winning yo-yo routine at the recent 2011 World YoYo contest (last year's winner HERE). It's what we call in the business 'INSANE'. "Holy shit, GW's into psychiatry?" No, but I did hypnotize a friend with a yo-yo once. I was all, "you are getting sleepy, veeeeeeeeeery sleepy." Then I put my hand on his crotch and he punched me.
Hit the jump and at least skip around for a little bit, it really is nuts. Also posted the 1A winner, which is equally (if not more) impressive, just not as dual yo-yo'y. Also, follow the Youtube link for a ton more from this year's competition if you're interested.

This is a small series (three pics) of superhero symbols created on a woman's lips by photographer Jonathan Knowles and makeup artist Celine Nonon. From what I read, I'm pretty sure they're real and not Photochopped. Also, there was no model listed, but presumably it's one of... / Continue →

Note: Song contains a healthy portion of dirty words. This is a video of a VERY impressive holographic Tupac (move over Jem!) performing at the Coachella music festival over the weekend. Not gonna lie, he looks pretty real. Almost TOO real. "You're suggesting it's really hi... / Continue →
