TITLE + NetFlix Origami
TEAM + the people at NFO
DESCRIPTION + Those initiated to the world of Netflix, the twenty-first-century version of a video store, are familiar with the distinctive red and white envelopes in which the company's millions of DVDs are dispatched and returned. The residue of a Netflix transaction is the squarish paper flap that must be torn off the envelope before dropping it into a mailbox. But before you toss that flap into the recycling bin, click over to Netflix Origami, a site (unaffiliated with Netflix) that provides step-by-step instructions on transforming your humble Netflix flaps into folded paper creations such as swans, frogs, airplanes, and (deja vu!) envelopes.

TITLE + Out Of Love For Posters, Modernsim and Television
TEAM + by Albert Exerigan
DESCRIPTION + Austrian art director Albert Exergian created this series of prints honoring the tube's best. But rather than trying to capture entire ensemble casts within the confines of a rectangle - when are they ever all together onscreen, anyway? - he opted to represent each series with bold, geometric symbols. The Sopranos is a red-and-white checkered circle (minus the Chianti candlestick), True Blood is a pair of white triangle fangs, and 30 Rock's NBC peacock is transformed into a set of candy colored bars that would probably make stuffy Jack Donaghy cringe.

TITLE + Sketchy Santas
TEAM + the wonderful people of the SS
DESCRIPTION + He’s a big man in a red suit. He sees you when you’re sleeping. He knows when you’re awake. He knows if you’ve been bad or good—come on, isn’t Santa Claus a little, well, shady? The amusing site Sketchy Santas sure thinks so. Take a look at this collection of photographs showing Santa looking slightly less than jolly. There are young children looking appropriately scared; babies crying; and grown-ups with no business being on a strange man’s lap. All of these photos capture some exquisite holiday awkwardness. So be good for goodness’ sake!
