Midnight Madness. Chemical Brothers.

Sick idea.

"Filmmakers, photographers and artists made their own short clip (from 2 to 20 seconds) or photograph on the theme of “Midnight Madness” – the name of The Chemical Brothers’ new single. The work was uploaded via the Chemical Brothers’ website to Google Earth and tagged with its exact global location. A selection of the best work was chosen and featured in this new concept music video for The Chemical Brothers, executed through the Google Earth application."

Booty shakin hoes just aint cuttin it anymore. Music artists...consumers are now asking you to be artist.  

And I can dig it.  

Entenmann's for Carnivores.

the idea is simple enough. You eat what you just touched. So wash your hands. Still...it feels forced to me. Too much photoshop is never a good thing. And the hamster muffin...makes me nauseous- which I guess is the point.

With all this talk about Sarah Palin...I just realized that I haven't randomly posted awesome pics of Obama in awhile. I think this is classic. Do you think this pic was setup...or does Obama really own that Ali pic? It's very college dorm room-chic, no?

As if it matters....

im sorry, did she just turn into a piece of chalk?

oh man....remember when I said the folks in Amsterdam where smoking something (as if they ever aren't). Well, scratch that....it's the Japanese that got the real ish.....

I want the freedom to make crazy sh*t like this. And the drugs.

Awwwwwwwwwwww.

A rabbit and a deer. BFFs. It's Bambi and Thumper.


What do you think guys....as cute or cuter than Milo and Otis.

Keep in mind...

"Milo is one lucky cat....he's got 9 lives, and one best friend."

wow.

Aleksander Pasevin.

Beautiful. 

P.S. I might just buy one of his prints.

LOW highs of the Emmys.

like I said...I was stuck watching the Emmy's last night ( I know, how lame am I). And this....was the "high" point of the entire show.


Josh Groban, a highly regarded classical singer is reduced to singing a montage of tv theme songs.

While he is widely known for covering other peoples songs...I consider this an all time low. Someone got caught up-caught up with the cash..... Let the bad ideas flow.....

P.S. Josh does do a hell of a Cartman from South Park though.

UPDATE: Just incase you guys missed when my future baby mamma was dropped on the stage as part of a gag)...this was the result. 

Keepin It Real: R. Kelly.

Funk Master Flex talking about R Kelly's BET interview.

Too real. So real that he didn't even use chap stick.

That's real. 

If at first you don't succeed.

Dust yourself off and try again...PC.

"Life without walls."

Apparently, PC did have a back up plan for the Jerry Sienfeld/ Bill Gates debacle. 

PC's goal in the new campaign:

"Where you connect to a global community of more than a billion people and nothing comes between you and a world of ideas and opportunities. With Windows on your mobile phone, PC, or the Web, walls begin to disappear—at home, at the office, and anywhere in between. You can balance work and life as well as fun and functionality. And with a wide range of software, services, and devices to choose from, your technology can be as unique as you are. That's Windows. Life without walls."

This....is a great strategy. If it hadn't already been done by Apple. 

Mac is the king of breaking down the barriers between their electronics. I think PC should just market themselves as the lamo computers that business people use. Anti-cool, structured as all hell and made specifically for suits.

Whap. Whap.

"Hi, I'm a MAC...and I was used to make this PC ad."

What happens when you waste your cash on a comedian spokes person about a decade too late. You make this....

Don't call it a comeback.

P.S. How lame Pharrell.....LAAAAAAMMMMEEEE!

Palin, against abortion, but for rape.

Get Your War On explores Palins' abortion policy...especially when it comes to rape victims.

"It's almost as if a rapist rubbed a magic lamp and Sarah Palin popped out and gave them three wishes...."

I'm guessing it's platforms like these that cause people not to like her.

smoking vs. suicidal thoughts.

This weekend, I was imprisoned (under my own will) in a home that had no cable. Now, while this might be a norm for all you people who think TV is the devil and/or the "intellectuals" out there, who are clearly better at living than I am, it was pretty much the apocalypse for me. But after the initial shock and hours of dvd, I adjusted. But what I found in between the regularly scheduled Sunday football games and tbs movies from the 90s was a slue of pharma ads. 

Pharma Ads, the beast that every ad school teacher told me to dodge. Sure, they pay alot of money...but you will forever be known as that creative who made the animated burly bugs that live under some poor consumer's toenail talk and walk. And you will be shunned by those "real" creatives. There is no road from Prilosec to Nike. But with that said...the thing that caught my eyes was the side effects that these ads so cleverly slipped in at the end of their spots, which is not uncommon. Pharma ads are notorious for filling the last 20 seconds of a 30 second spot with "possible side effects." They are usually something to the effects of flash diarrhea of temporary blindness in one eye. But the ad that absolutely scared the living sh*t out of me this Sunday was that of Chantex. So much so, that I remembered the name and looked it up first thing this morning. 

I can't find the ad on youtube, but Chantex is supposed to help you quit smoking. The ad used the age old metaphor of the race between the tortuous and the hare . While this, is the first thing that comes to my mind, the more educated consumer, probably got the hyperbole and thought it was clever. I found out through some research that I saw the second ad in a very controversial campaign (this being first) after it was discovered that the pills had some psychiatric side effects.  

The phrase the frightened me......"...this pill may cause depression and suicidal thoughts and behavior."

They just snuck that in there. With a cute picture of a rabbit on the screen they basically told all of America that developing a psychological disorder was better than smoking. And then at the end they stated a stat...."after 12 weeks, 44% of user reached their quitting goal."

And it probably true. And the other 66%...jumped to their death from a high rise window. 

But, I suppose that this strategy is better (morally speaking) than the previous "unbranded" approach which drove people to a website and not the drug. 

Read between the lines people.

I will never watch 60 minutes again.

Ignorance. Ignoarance. Ignorance. 

I know the man is old...but damn it....someone sit him down and tell him why we don't use the word negro anymore. 

freedom of speech.

So...some people really dont like Sarah Palin. Whether it be...within her own state....or in Canada.

Meet Heather Mallick of CBC Canada. She writes a column. And she definetly expressed her opinion. 

"....she added nothing to the ticket that the Republicans didn’t already have sewn up, the white trash vote....It’s possible that Republican men, sexual inadequates that they are, really believe that women will vote for a woman just because she’s a woman. They’re unfamiliar with our true natures. Do they think vaginas call out to each other in the jungle night?,,,,Palin has a toned-down version of the porn actress look favoured by this decade’s woman, the over treated hair, puffy lips and permanently alarmed expression. Bristol has what is known in Britain as the look of the teen mum, the “pramface.” Husband Todd looks like a roughneck; Track, heading off to Iraq, appears terrified. They claim to be family obsessed while being studiously terrible at parenting. What normal father would want Levi “I’m a fuckin’ redneck” Johnson prodding his daughter?....Palin has it all, along with being vicious and profoundly dishonest..."

read the rest here. 

It gets kinda mean. In an entertaining way. I mean...she just called Palin supporters "White Trash." One would think....that the column could only go up from there. Nope....

Kellen....is this "white trash" accusation accurate? You are my guru for these types of things.

let's make it three.

one polar bear....Ha ha Ha

two polar bear....Ha ha Ha

THREE polar bear posts. 

!!!!THREE polar bear posts in one day!!!!!
