The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

The Race Race was a 2008 radio show on Australia-wide radio station Triple J by Australian comedian team The Chaser. It was hosted by Chaser members Craig Reucassel and Chris Taylor, with guest appearances from fellow Chaser member Chas Licciardello. The show directly commented on the 2008 United States presidential election. The show ran for eight episodes from 27 October until 5 November, in the weekday timeslot of 5pm until 5.30pm, with the election of 4 November. It was mostly made up of sarcastic and irreverent humour, utilising candidates' gaffes and other soundbites. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
