Steampunkified version of Pac-Man ("That's Pac GENTLEMAN to you" as the website says).

As I often say: I am amazed by the creativity of people. This one made me laugh. (From Craftzine Blog).

Also from Craftzine blog, a Do Not Want. There's a new book out with knitted patterns for dolls in the form of famous people (or famous characters played by people). They have a Borat doll (which you saw if you clicked on the link, and you are probably sorry for clicking now). "Borat" was one of those movies that someone I cared about said "You HAVE to watch this, it's hysterical" and then I spent the next several days watching Miyazake films trying to get the images (particularly one...a "chase" scene in a hotel...you will know what I'm talking about if you saw the movie) out of my mind. And unfortunately, it was unsuccessful.

And a question: In situations like that, are the famous people asked permission for their traits and images to be used? Can they request that their image not be used in the patterns? I mean, yeah, that Amy Winehouse doll doesn't look THAT much like her. But if I were famous, I'd be a little ooged out by the whole concept.
