Isn't This The Truth? Television Through The Years

Haha, too funny. Isn't this the truth?

Watching TV Will Kill You!

So let's take a look at this for a moment...

We can't sit at work for too long, because our lives will shorten drastically.  We can't eat a high-carb diet, because we have a chance of developing a tumor in a few years, and today we find out that our Television is slowly killing us.  Geez, I think our lives are too short to worry about that kind of crap, don't you agree?  When can I start smoking again?

A team of researchers from Australia are predicting that Ryan and I will die within a few years.  No, really.  As long as our asses are sitting on the couch watching Glee, America's Got Talent, So You Think You Can Dance, True Blood, Master Chef, Dexter, and Hell's Kitchen, we will not be around much longer.  It's true!  If your ass is watching TV for more than 2 hours at a time, you're life expectancy decreases by 1.8 years and for women, it decreases by 1.5.

I guess Ryan and I better sleep less than 5 hours a day to increase our life expectancies, otherwise we're fucking screwed!

So Retro, It's Cool

In February, I showed you a light bulb shattered into a million pieces, in the slowest motion photography you've ever seen.  Last month, I featured Jello jiggling in a way you never thought possible, and on May 18, we witnessed a 6 foot water balloon burst into a tidal wave of laughter and amazement.  

In what I think is pure genius, you'll see some retro products in three separate television commercials, courtesy of French company, Citroën, the first mass-producing auto company outside of the United States.  Director, Jonathan Gurvit has taken the concept of slow-motion photography to a whole new level, by introducing us to Citroën, and their Anti-Retro campaign.

In the videos below, you'll notice some "Retro" products from the past, like Telephones, Blenders and TV Sets.  Each of the commercials uses slow-motion digital photography to capture the ultimate destruction of these products, in very creative, and unimaginable ways.

Enjoy!
