SadAndUseless.com Horror Film Finds Actual Business Use For Chatroulette Remember the Blair Witch Project? With its campaign for The Last Exorcism, Lionsgate Films has taken the amateur video horror film idea to the next level, proving that there’s a way to use Chatroulette as more than just a medium where you can see strangers get naked and watch Ben Fold’s covers. The ad (which has received 339, 743 views thus far), cleverly spoofs Chatroulette’s propensity for nudity, luring unsuspecting viewers in with the temptation of a cute girl about to take off her clothes. Once again, it seems as though the horror genre is light years ahead of the Hollywood curve when it comes to grassroots viral marketing and you know, using the Internet. From the YouTube comments: “You know what this proves? The decision to spotlight Chatroulette is made even more interesting by the fact that the film is rated PG-13. Founded by Andrey Ternovskiy, Chatroulette’s been trying to clean up its act in a bid to appeal to advertisers and investors.
George Lucas Turns Daily Show Star Into Storm Trooper While it is my understanding that playing with the actual Jon Stewart is not safe for children over four years of age, it appears that playing with his Star Wars action figure is just fine. This amazing action figure, made specifically for Star Wars Celebration V in Orlando, was created for presenter Jon Stewart by George Lucas. Needless to say this is not part of canon and is not for sale. The figure comes with two heads, one with a goatee and one without, and Stewart looks surprisingly virile in his while battle dress. Wouldn’t it be amazing if Lucasfilm had a custom Stormtrooper system? You send in a picture of your head, they scan it onto a 3D model, and then print it out?

Want To Recreate Sterling Cooper Or Just Be On Mad Men? Get Bidding. Um, awesome. I’m a huge fan of the AMC show Mad Men. I’d argue it is the best show on television right now, but that will just lead to a flamewar with the Breaking Bad people. And, if you’re willing to act a little bit — and spend a whole lot of money — you can get very close. Currently for sale on eBay are dozens of pieces of furniture and outfits from previous seasons of the show. As the show is still very much alive, doesn’t AMC need the set furniture anymore? Anyway, this is all being auctioned off for charity. 10 percent of the final sale price will go towards the City of Hope nonprofit. Smartly, the eBay page for each item includes details about how it was used in the show. Mad Men Sterling Cooper Cabinet – Break Room The Sterling Cooper break room was always buzzing with the juicy gossip. They also include a video clip from the show showing it in action. But the biggest item is a walk-on role on the show itself. The auction for all the items ends on August 22. [thanks Chris]

Playboy said in a statement. The USB hard drive sells for about $300 and has more than 650 issues loaded on the device.
