I believe that the black and white picture of the large headed person is from the short sci-fi film "To Serve Man". The guy in the photo is actually an alien.
The soap-bubble rabbit looks like a render test showing an iridescent shader and HDRI reflection mapping.
Anonymous was half-right. It was an old Twilight Zone episode, called "To Serve Man." One of the classics:

The Russian building tradition goes back a long way, enough to have the name Potemkin village.
The person you borrowed the gum-massage ad from has some issues.
Check out his personal comments.
He complains about TV making people into idiots that don't read, yet he can't spell words correctly.
And his factual errors are hilarious:
Characterizing blood sucking mosquito as female is sexists? Errrmmm ... male mosquitos don't suck blood.
Adding Iodine to salt to prevent goiter is dated medicine? Iodized salt is why no one gets goiter in civilized countries.
Man needs a spell checker, and needs to lrn2Google.
The done-headed man is Ted Cassidy who later played "Lurch" the butler in the Adams Family TV series.
The alien is actually an early role for Richard Keil, later played "Jaws" in the Jame Bond series
i like the soap bubble rabbit :D
I was guessing Lurch also, but Jaws is the correct answer.
The soap bubble-shaped rabbit is a screen capture showing the real-time possibilities of nVidia graphic cards using Cg (C for graphics)language. Cg is part of Cg toolkit and the first version came when they released the GeForce 3, the first mainstream programmable graphic architecture. Using pixel and vertex shaders, the manipulation of objects in the demo occur in real-time.
You can download the Cg toolkit here: http://developer.nvidia.com/object/cg_download.html
