Gotta love remixes... here's a great one:

Cadbury Eyebrows

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

[singlepic=531,275,600,,right] Cadbury has been known for their unusual ad campaigns like the Cadbury Gorilla ad from late 2007, but I have to say that their new ad campaign has stepped it up. I'd post a video of it here, but I can't find it hosted anywhere that has embeds so you'll have ...

Star Wars: Retold

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

This video is hilarious. It's the Star Wars trilogy told by someone who hasn't actually seen the movies.   :P "The planet's really bad now because of the Dark Side. And there's this new bad guy in town... and he's Darth Vader!" Originally found it here: www.fishrockit.com and Star Wars: Retold (by someone who ...

Headline Anagrams

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

[singlepic=528,150,150,,right] Playing around with anagram generator, Sternest Meanings, I plugged some of today's headlines. I'll let you read into any new hidden meanings... headline: Congress to attach strings to bailout money anagram: Strongish cottages contrast. Emotional buy. headline: Panel questions Clinton on foundation donations anagram: Inconsequent, pliant loons. Not if an odious and not. headline: Chrysler reportedly ...

Haiku 404

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

[singlepic=525,163,155,,right] Attempting to read an article on The Motley Fool this morning I mistyped the URL and was pleasantly surprised by their 404 error page: Wiley little File Eludes you most handsomely Whack that mouse harder That's "404: File not found" for the technically inclined. For the not-so-technically inclined, that means that the link you ...

Secret Service and the Shoes

Monday, December 15th, 2008

[singlepic=516,250,600,,right] Just read a post on 23/6 that brought up some good points about the Secret Service and the Iraqi shoe throwing incident: Questions That I Have for the Secret Service - Jon Friedman Shouldn't you have jumped in front of that shoe? Shouldn't you have jumped in front of that second shoe? more...

5 Seconds with Stan Smith

It's an old episode but this is still one of my favorite lines from American Dad:

Ad Targeting

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

While watching an episode of SciAm's Frontiers on Hulu I nearly choked on my dinner laughing. During a segment of the show about the famine of the Fremont Native Americans in Utah during the 1300s an ad overlay for Hungry Man suddenly came up and declared: "Hungry Man: It's good to ...

Deus Ex Machina, The Motorcycle

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

[singlepic=240,580,900] This has been mentioned in a number of blogs so I'll keep it short... Jake Loniak a student at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena designed an electric, vertically parking "motorcycle". It looks amazing and completely insane all at the same time.  :) [gallery=15] Other Blog Posts: Deus Ex Machina - The Wearable ...
