Can you tell I'm having a slow week?

My 2 favorite things ever from the internet are these. I'm sure everyone's seen them by now.
The giant girl doll:

and the elephant painting the self portrait: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He7Ge7Sogrk

but I'm concerned that the elephant is being relentlessly prodded (and possibly abused) to make the image.
That's all folks!
