Skateboarding Scenes From Old Movies: Custodio De Señoras



A really horrible skateboarding scene from a 1979 Argentine comedy called Custodio De Señoras. Even though the poster for for film featured the two main characters riding this custom (silly) skateboard that has 36 wheels on 18 trucks, there is only this one skateboarding scene in the whole movie.

Skaters Vs McDonalds


A few days ago, McDonalds put up an advertisement photo on their instagram page that depicted two skateboaders with the caption: "Early morning vibes".

A truly piss-poor attempt at trying to use skateboarding in their ad. It's obvious that no one, from the photographer to the two models to anyone at their marketing department, has any clue about skateboarding. Thrasher Magazine caught this and reposted McDonalds' Instagram post on their page with a message to McDonalds. That message was "Mcfuckyourself"


Skaters then started commenting on ad with the hashtag #mcfuckyourself.

And within just a couple hours, the photo ad got over 3,000 comments, all just saying the hashtag #mcfuckyourself.

Along with some pretty funny comments made about the photo.



The hashtag along with the ad photo spread to a lot of pages.

The #mcfuckyourself comments started getting posted under all of Mcdonalds' instagram photos. And as soon as Mcdonalds made a new post, it got the comments too.

They ended up deleting it right away.

As of right now, the ad photo has almost 9,000 comments, it's their most commented on post. Too bad most of those comments are telling McDonalds to go Mcfuckyourself.

Nissan 350Z Stuck In The Sand


Some "photographer" thought it would be a neat idea to have the owner of this Nissan 350Z drive out onto the sand for some photos. The car only made it a few feet off the parking lot at Venice Beach, before it got stuck. Their efforts to get the car out only made it worse too. A tow truck had to come remove the Nissan from the sand.
