I just posted this in the schadenfreude thread but the end of the video belongs here. Jimmy Kimmel gets parents to tell their kids that their Halloween candy is all gone and most of them react as you'd expect but some of them rise above the challenge and act completely :3:

Skip to 4:15 for the kids who value their parents' happiness more than candy.

So John Lewis, a UK retailer (not sure what a good comparison for Americans would be), have some pretty great adverts and just released their latest Christmas one. They are pretty :3: and I think 2011 is perhaps my favourite ad of all time. The music always works and I think they are pretty innovative. They build their brand on good service and have a series of adverts based on a motto of Never Knowingly Undersold as well, I like the 2012 one so have stuck that on the end =)

Thank you for posting these. I'm so glad this thread exists because I saw 12 Years a Slave and it was absolutely devastating, so I needed an antidote.

I lived in an apartment with no windows for the past 5 years. My cats are two years old now, and have never known the wonders of the outside.

Two months ago I bought my first house, and they love the windows. This is River, watching me come home on my lunch break.

So someone got a kitten and was worried how he would fit in with the two ferrets in the household.

Turns out they were right to worry, because this magnitude of adorable is freaking hazardous. :kimchi:

There's something really satisfying about watching a skilled craftsperson doing their thing. It's just mesmerizing. Check out these guys building an arched roof out of nothing but bricks and mortar, no struts or supports.

There is a scene in The Road Home (which is itself pretty darn uplifting) where this traveling tinker mends a pottery bowl. It's amazing to watch, but I'm having no luck finding a clip of it.

That brick wall video is hypnotizing. I don't know why but it's amazing to see that guy work.

Since I saw that Bear and the Hare video from John Lewis in this thread I have been in love with it. I found this Beind the Scenes video of the making of it.
