Laptop screens whose "desktop backgrounds" have been carefully contrived to make the laptop look transparent. Very cool effect; I'm especially impressed by the one involving a cat.

A Belgian Sims-inspired public service announcement that illustrates the perils of (teenage) pregnancy. (I'm here to say that looking after your child while studying doesn't get any easier when you're 32.)

Octopi walking underwater. With, like, videos. V. cool.

I loved the cat one too.
That comercial is stunning. They should show it here.
I've seen footage like that in a video we showed the kids last month. It was ducking in and out over cover too. I love cephalapods.
