Winkers.

Three minutes and thirty eight seconds of watching middle aged asses in jeans making great fashion decisions. All I have to say is that they better be glad they trade marked this idea......

Covering August 2.

Secret lover...

V Magazine does some cool and extravagant stuff for their Sept issue.

X Games potential? They just need hotter chics. And falling. Yea...they definitely need more falling. Still, I'm impressed.

A History of African American Targeted Advertising.

Craig at KMBA does it again (there's a reason why his blog was featured in Jet/Ebony Mag). Once in college I tried to take on the task on writing a paper that attempted to divulge how African Americans were "portrayed by the media" and "communicated to" over the years. It was like 13 pages and covered way too much, from black watermelon eating and pancake making caricatures of the negro persona to black face to advertising to hip hop videos. And due to its sheer volume and variety of topics (and lack of pages), I viewed it unsuccessful at the end. What I needed was a thesis paper. But I was in the College of Communications, so I sure as hell wasn't writing a thesis paper for fun. I got a B+ on the paper, but I never quiet accomplished what I was aiming to do. This, is a a side note. The point of this blog post is to set you on track to Craig's blog to read about Minority Targeted Advertising through the years. Read it all the way through and click all the links. You won't regret it.

Can you dig it?

How You See my Blog (???).

Much like thedailyobsessional, I don't really get how this MIT thing analyzes how the rest of the Internet sees you. And where as I am just as confused about the legal vs illegal sections of my blog , Im a graduate of the New England education system. The kids at MIT are f*ckin weird. So...they produced it and we have to live with not quiet understanding it, but trying to use it anyway.

Also....they have a really unattractive campus. Go ahead try it out for yourself.

Digital Girl. Jamie Foxx ft Drake and Kanye.

Def the best song on his album. Wait...who actually listened to Jamie Foxx's album...not me. But this song has been on my ipod for a minute. But aparently I need to redownload it cause Drake has got himself a verse. "....I told her even photoshop couldn't change me." HA ha, yeah you got me, dude. This is hte type of song you always let play through on your ipod. Even on the hottest summer days, just sweating your ass off on the platform waiting for the 2 train....

I'm not to sure how I feel about changing the beat at the end....but you win some you lose some.

Toy Gun Teaches Us Shapes.

And there is nothing wrong with learning.

Woodland Creatures, gettin it in....

Craig at KMBA wrote some really deep sentiment's about the above video. Something about art and hip hop feeling real when used by advertisers. It also has something to do with fashion *shoulder shrug.* If you want to get all indepth with it that's cool. If you just wan't to see some gangsta animals do some gangsta sh*t to a cool song....just play the video above...lol.

Oh and this is the real song called Awesome by The Bloody Beatroots. It's pretty sick...AND i got to discover a new genre of music called "death disco" this morning (according to you tube users, that's what it's called). "Death Disco" and all the songs and videos by The Bloody Beatroots I saw where accompanied by comment like:

"it's puuuure ecstacy."

"....eargasm!"

"they must be just handing out pills at this concert"

YouTubers are kinda weird and unreliable. But I must agree this is some heavy foreign sh*t man. I think it's Italian. But I'm gonna go ahead and put my ignorant American hat back on and not do anymore research. I have town hall meetings to go to (armed and loaded).

But to the point of this post...hood animals getting it in. Thanks to Craig, I'm NOW up on This.

Funny Church Ads.

Art Direction needs a little help, but I give St Matthews-in-the-city props for making a funny. Whoever was working the photoshop (or maybe even microsoft paint, or maybe even the original printing press) get kudos for trying. Religions and "church-dom" are often so caught up in telling people how to live and who is living in the correct manner that they forget about the world they live in. But then again...this particular church is not Catholic, and it's in New Zealand. At any given time, any Kiwi is probably slightly drunk, practicing Rugby to beat those Aussies and or fighting Orgs to bring piece to Middle Earth. Religion takes a back seat, I'm sure.
