Rubik's Cube sightings in media

I believe there is a cube on the Skype website.

OMG LIEK I FOWND A PIRRAMINXE

I just noticed a puzzle today in the media. A pyraminx can be seen in the aptly-named La Roux's video for their #1 single "Bulletproof".

Quite Eighties, eh? I also noticed a morphing 4x4 cube in "The Amphiseum" circuit from wipEout HD Fury, released this week on the PlayStation Network.

Oh yeah, after watching does it blend, you notice that the kids movement is in fastforward, that's because they're playing the same video over and over again, and fast forward cloaks the transition.

Le Roux*

Lol but you can't use le Roux for pyraminx.

On Saturday at Comic-Con, I noticed a cube on a desk in a screening of the next episode of Glee.

My first entry here.

On the TV nees one day, they had a story about a school that was closed down due to one student getting the swine flu. So everybody that attended that school had to stay home for one week. They showed a kid using a 4x4 Rubik's Revenge cube while at home.

My sister is watching "Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana" And in the intro all the characters are on a rubik's cube and its getting mixed up.

I don't think anyone has done this yet.

Don't worry, it's just a store-bought.

I bet he'd get mad at a stackmat if he ever could really solve one =P.

While I was flipping through the tv channels I saw this show Zeke and Luther and the episode is when they try to put out a skating video.

I'm not sure if this was mentioned, but the kid in 'Knowing' was playing with a rubik's cube. Also, Cubers the documentary was shown on CBC today...or yesterday, I guess.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but here's Yumu Tabuchi on Japanese TV show, uploaded by Sinpei Araki (he has also been on TV as well as Mitsuki Gunji). Very neet to see the EEG and how solving the 3x3 is second nature to Yumu (except in BLD you can see the areas of the brain that are used mostly), whereas for the other man, you can see his struggle and more intense usage of the brain.

That's one of my favorites on youtube. Combines my 2 loves.

The story behind it is it only took 2 takes. The first one the cube completely broke and he actually made it the second time. They had scheduled the shoot for one hour since they thought it would be nearly impossible.

That's unbelievable.:confused:

I have seen the Youtube video that the link was for. It shows how solving a cube does use the brain and normal and BLD solving uses different parts of the brain.

Has anyone ever noticed that in Anchorman: The legend of Ron Burgundy somewhere halfway into the move the guy on the telephone has a 2x2 on his desk?

I was surfing the web on the laptop/kind of watching disney with my sisters. There was a movie on called Stuck in the Suburbs and in one scene the pop star guy drops his back and a bunch of stuff flew out of his bag including a 3x3
