Naughty Bear Doesn’t Play Well With Others

{{desc}}

via Naughty Bear Doesn’t Play Well With Others.

The goal in Naughty Bear is to scare, irritate, and, of course, hurt the other bears, racking up “Naughty Points” as you do and using weapons strewn about the game’s 30 stages. The game will dole out more Naughty Points in response to more “deviant and maniacal” tactics. From the description, it sounds like Manhunt with teddy bears. It’s going to be a polyester stuffing-bath.

Put Your Foot Down! Actionaid turn to Shoe Art [Riitta Ikonen]

The Put your foot down campaign teamed up with YCN and artist Riitta Ikonen to turn the hundreds of shoes we received into a fantastic work of art.

Shoe Art

Action Aid

More than 15 million women are living with HIV globally and every half minute another becomes infected. Widespread violence against women and girls is at the heart of these statistics. On World AIDS Day 2008, ActionAid decided to do something about this, with the launch of our Put your foot down campaign.

Working with young artist Riitta Ikonen and YCN, we created a piece of art using the shoes you sent in. The finished product, an installation which uses customised shoes to tell the stories of women affected by violence and HIV and AIDS, was unveiled on International Women’s Day 2009 (8 March) at the Department for International Development.

Top Gear’s Hammerhead-i Eagle Thrust featured in Autopia poll

It’s hard to believe just 10 years ago automakers were working double-time to churn out the biggest SUVs consumers could stuff into their garages. Bigger was better, fuel economy be damned. Why worry when gas was less than a buck-and-a-half a gallon and few people knew about, let alone cared about, global warming?

Last week we laid out our 10 best cars of the decade. We took a slightly different approach to that old moto-journo chestnut, opting to chose cars that represent a technological or ideological step forward.

Vote on your top ten at the autopia poll.

Van by name and Van by nature Caravan man goes green!

Don’t take your caravan to the country, let the caravan bring the country to you. Caravan by Kevin Van Braak is customised caravan that opens out to provide a grassy area of calm to wherever it’s situated. With our environment becoming increasingly more concrete and green spaces disappearing rapidly, Caravan can bring a touch of country living to anywhere it’s needed.

Mr Van Braak, from Amsterdam, bought a 1976 Constructam Caravan, stripped out the inside and cut it in half so it would open flat to reveal a grassed area capable of seating 15 people.

He said: ‘My caravan appears to be no different from any other caravan when it is pulled behind a car but when opened it manifests itself as an artificial garden, park or camping sight.’

In keeping with the Caravan scene and the mad world of crazy ideas i had a surf around and found some more for you to enjoy, it would have been rude not to. Enjoy!
