The most beautiful censorship you will ever see




Dorkly shared this made-for-viral video for BUYMA, a Japanese fashion brand.


According to Spoon & Tomago, it was created by Dentsu and creative director Takashi Sakuma. It was aired on Japanese television only once, on December 13, 2015.

The beauty of the human body in movement meets the choreography of drones. You've got to admit: It's pretty cool. Just watch out for those blades!

DDB puts more "ass" in "classical music"



The Belgian B Classic music festival let DDB do a number on a classic, Dvořák's Symphony No. 9 Allegro con fuoco, by having some young Japanese (correction: Korean) women dance provocatively throughout three minutes of it:



The YouTube description explains, "B-Classic presents The Classical Comeback: a new music video format that gives classical music the same recognition as pop and rock music by combining the timeless emotion of classical music with the visual talent of a contemporary director."

Talent... right, because viewers were as taken by the cinematography as they were with the music.

While using the sexualized aesthetic of a cheesy rap video to trick people into listening to a different genre of music is amusing in theory, the execution is just another chapter in our ongoing exploitation of women's sexuality to sell anything and everything.

Ironically, in this case, it probably won't sell any tickets unless the concerts feature exotic dancers beside the conductor.

Testicular Breakdancing



Marc shared this funny little dance number he saw on Adverbox.



It's an independent effort from writer/director Mark Pallis. The dancers are Dan Burns and Shay Lee.

There's only one problem, and that's the "Mo" theme. Movember has a focus on prostate cancer, while the dancers are demonstrating self-screening for testicular cancer. (Although the UK group includes other male-specific cancers.)

Oh well, I guess we should be happy that the breakdancers aren't checking their prostates. That would be much more awkward.
