Transformer Overload: 4 new TV Spots
Michael Bay’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is being shoved down our collective throats. With tons of pictures, trailers, TV spots and clips it’s getting pretty ridiculous.
But, you got to hand it to Michael Bay. He doesn’t half-ass it and is all about over-indulging. Kind of like Motley Crue back in the day!
Check out the TV Spots after the jump.

World’s First “Anti-Stab” Knife Keeping Marriages Alive
Now you won’t have to worry when arguing by the kitchen knives with your spouse or significant other!
New Point Knives gives us the first Anti-Stab knife. However, it’s currently only available in the UK.
Mr. Cornock, 42, from Swindon, said that the knife will cut vegetables, but will make it almost impossible to stab someone to death and will reduce the risk of accidental injuries.
He said: “It can never be a totally safe knife, but the idea is you can’t inflict a fatal wound. Nobody could just grab one out of the kitchen drawer and kill someone. [Times Online]
It’s nice to know that this knife will prevent stabbing deaths. Although I don’t think it will solve any throat slashings. Hopefully New Point Knives works on that for version 2.0.

Joshua Hoffine Recreates Childhood Fears Via Photography
As a kid I used to sleep with my blankets around my neck for fear a Vampire would come into my room. I was also scared of monsters in the closet, so would make sure my closet was closed. Every now and then I’d check under the bed.
Photographer Joshua Hoffine has created some brilliant photos recreating childhood fears. These are really well done and really freaky. They took me back to my childhood for sure.
View a handful after the jump. Also, make sure you check out Joshua Hoffine’s website to view more photos and buy prints.
