I ain’t gonna lie; I thought this was real for a second.

Wouldn’t be great if dressage was really like this?

A LEGO stop-motion version of “Nigel’s Guitar Room” from This Is Spinal Tap.

Nigel Tufnel: Look… still has the old tag on, never even played it.
Marty DiBergi: [points his finger] You’ve never played…?
Nigel Tufnel: Don’t touch it!
Marty DiBergi: We’ll I wasn’t going to touch it, I was just pointing at it.
Nigel Tufnel: Well… don’t point! It can’t be played.
Marty DiBergi: Don’t point, okay. Can I look at it?
Nigel Tufnel: No. no. That’s it, you’ve seen enough of that one.

Morrissey has allowed high-street department store, John Lewis to use a cover version of “Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want” on the chain’s £6 million Christmas advertising campaign. The track has been covered by Slow Moving Millie (aka Amelia Warner, ex-wife of Colin Farrell, apparently), which follows on from last year’s take of Elton John’s “Your Song” recorded by Ellie Goulding.

According to the Daily Telegraph Morrissey is “delighted” that the chain was using the track. Craig Inglis, John Lewis’s marketing director, is quoted as saying:

“We know our audience holds The Smiths and bands from that era in high esteem.”

“It’s a magical feeling when you find that perfect present for someone; there’s a great sense of anticipation from the moment you buy it to the moment you give the gift on the big day.

“That feeling is exactly what we’ve tried to capture with this year’s Christmas campaign.”

Ruth Paterson, head of marketing at Rough Trade, the record label which released most of The Smiths’ work, said she was entertained by the collaboration.

“I do like the idea of a really good song by a really good band being played in Middle England’s living rooms,” she told The Times.

“I’m sure that wasn’t the song’s intended purpose, but I think that’s a good thing.”

As Morrissey edges towards a pensionable age, the “substantial pecuniary boost” this ad will bring will no doubt be greatly appreciated - though perhaps not by his fans, as if that will matter.

After Morrissey and Christmas, who’s next? And what other advert involving high street business and alleged hip musician would make for the most unlikely pairing? Suggestions, please.
 

 
There is something quite charming about these short Pathé News Films from the 1950s.

In the first, model Carol Archer visits a boutique in Soho, London, where she tries on a variety of novelty ear-rings, including miniature champagne bottles, cuckoo clocks, and hands.
 

 
More fab fashion films, after the jump…
 

 
Redditor burt_flaxton posted the above photo and said, “Friend’s father died—they found these after. He must have handed them out to the womens at bars.” Apparently these joke buisness cards were passed around in the 60s and 70s for a laugh. 

They all seem to promise “revolution” and arms smuggling. One saucy detail I noticed that all three of these cards have in common: orgies.

Here’s something you don’t see everyday.

From Japanese 3D gore flick Kyonyu Dragon aka Big Tits Zombie aka Stripper 5 vs Zombies starring Japan’s biggest adult video star Sora (Sola) Aoi.

Seeing this in 3D would be absolutely face-melting.
 

 
The first minute of Windows ‘95 with Greta is probably the greatest thing you’re going to see all day. It’s one hell of an epic intro for a Windows ‘95 video tutorial.
