This Week in Awesome (8/14/10)

What's that? I didn't post TWiA yesterday like I was supposed to? Um, things got busy--what can I say? I hope you don't sit around waiting for these; that would be disturbing...

I am a total sucker for stop-motion videos of toy die-cast cars. There's a second clip at the link, too. (Vimeo via Jalopnik)

Also from Jalopnik, this little road-painting oopsie.

Vintage Japanese posters meant to encourage good behavior and good manners while riding the subway: not as weird as it sounds, and in fact some are quite charming. Maybe we should consider something similar here? (Pink Tentacle via Kempt)

This week's über-web video was the security footage of the drive-thru incident at the McDonald's in Ohio. (The Daily What via more or less everywhere) The incident itself dates back to New Year's Day, but the video just showed up now, and it's hilarious in its own small way, and if you haven't yet seen it, you really should (you can skip ahead to about 1:10, nothing really happens before that).

Now, wouldn't it be great if there was audio to go along with that? The good folks at InfoMania thought the same thing, and generously obliged with Security Cam Theater.
