NCBuy: Weird and Offbeat News Stories: "Genital Warts: The Musical

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- The curse of genital warts doesn't seem like the greatest topic for a movie musical -- but that hasn't stopped two Los Angeles filmmakers.

Patrick Schumacker and Justin Halpern have just finished a new film, 'Genital Warts: The Musical,' that is currently playing the festival circuit.

Schumacker and Halpern wrote the sexually-transmitted song fest because, as Shumacker says, 'It's really weird to see people break out in song.'

Some of the wart-inspired ditties include, 'The Diagnosis,' 'Here Come The Genital Warts' and a romantic ballad, 'I Should've Told You.'

So far, the musical has gotten rave reviews, and Schumacker and Halpern plan to extend their 17-minute short to feature length.

Halpern says the movie is meant to open doors for the duo in Hollywood but insists he and Schumacker don't want be associated with 'Genital Warts' for the rest of their lives."

Artist turns animals into everyday objects

Ananova - A Chilean artist is making a name for herself with an exhibition in which stuffed animals are transformed into household objects. Artworks on display include a chick turned into a lamp, and 'sheep bag' - a lamb carcass fitted with handles. Artist Caterina Purdy says her exhibition at the Experimental Arts Centre in Santiago is intended to be humorous but also makes a serious point. She told Las Ultimas Noticias online: 'It is possible to see my work as something scary, but I find it beautiful. 'There is also irony and humour in my objects as well as a criticism of the way animals are treated by society.'"

Josh Nimoy @ ITP - BallDroppings : "BallDroppings is an addicting and noisy play-toy. It can also be seen as an emergence game. My brother Marc takes this software seriously as an audio-visual performance instrument. Balls fall from the top of the screen and bounce off the lines you are drawing with the mouse. The balls make a percussive and melodic sound, whose pitch depends on how fast the ball is moving when it hits the line."
