Watch That Tiny $74 1.5GHz Android-Powered Thumb-Puter In Action It was bound to happen: moron A tries to emulate the blonde girl’s magical spinning–flat on an escalator’s handrails–while moron B films. Moron A fails miserably, moron B posts video on the web. A sad epic failure, but perhaps not as epic as the marines’s failed disembarking or as sad as the hot brunette’s failed striptease.
There are moments in which, for whatever reason, being it a scientific discovery, a voyage into the unknown, or somebody’s excessive alcohol intake, humanity advances one step forward into its destiny, a final state of clarity and peace that will take us all to the stars.

Here’s a creepy way to advertise a hair salon: stick the lower half of some guys face at the bottom of an escalator, and place various hairstyles on the stairs. As the escalator moves, said guy gets a new haircut with every stair that passes by. Creative? Yes, definitely. Unsettling? Oh hell yes. It’s at a mall in Mumbai, so it’s not like I’m going to be forced to see it anytime soon, but if there’s anything America likes it’s slapping advertisements on every surface available, so don’t be surprised if you start seeing crap like this in malls and airports in the near future. Check out a shot of the full escalator with all its haircuts after the jump.
