In 2019, Aquaman—a.k.a. Jason Mamoa—referred to humanity as a “disease” due to the way it’s treating its oceans. Indeed, there is extensive evidence of humanity’s impact: including serious coral reef damage, and, of course, a whole lot of plastic pollution. To highlight the damage of the latter disaster, filmmaker Pascal Schelbli has made a Pixar-like short. One that, in an oddly ironic way, turns plasticware into sea life.The Beauty – Animated Short (2019) from Pascal Schelbli on Vimeo.Colossal picked up on Schelbli’s short film, The Beauty, which he first released in 2019. It’s only recently, however, that the short’s gone viral thanks to the Swiss filmmaker posting it to Vimeo. (Although the short did win the award for best animated film at the prestigious Student Academy Awards in 2020.)The three-minute short features masterful animation, and the clever idea of turning various everyday plastic objects into different species of the sea. The beginning of the short first hints at the concept with a coral made of spoons and straws, then unveils a whole world made of plastic sea creatures. Including a plastic-bottle whale, plastic-bag jellyfish, and an eel made to look like a strip of tire. The last of which may…

Jae Park. (JYP Entertainment) Day6’s Jae Park has shut down his Twitch account following a backlash to “sugar daddy” comments. The Korean-American K-Pop star was playing the game Rust on a now-deleted livestream in which he made “inappropriate” comments. Park simulated oral sex on another player character saying, “This guy, he is my sugar daddy,” then “just look away” a few moments later. The singer received considerable backlash from the Korean public, according to KpopStarz, who believed his actions were worse than curse words. In a follow-up live stream, Park addressed the controversy stating: “Honestly, for me, it is just something I did with my friend. Maybe this is a cultural difference, but I will refrain from commenting on it… I really think that it is because of a big cultural difference. “Whenever I speak in English, the direct Korean translations are often made to be problematic numerous times,” he said. “If you choose to mistranslate what I say and purposely try to create problems from it, you might want to stop watching my streams for your own betterment.” The singer later apologised afterwards on Twitter in a statement in Korean that he “sincerely apologise to those who were hurt”…
