Aside from the whole vandalism thing, this is really well done, check out this Mitt Romney ad.
And then there’s this:
Lev Grossman has an update about The Magicians TV show which is being written, so excited!
Copyranter says it’s unfortunate placement, I think it’s hysterical:
Gardening with Doug (from the PG) has an article about plants that clean the air inside. Sadly, spider plants are on the list. I’m probably the only person in the world to have killed their spider plants. Which is weird, I can usually grow most things. Guess I’ll have to try again.
Naturally the election came up in conversation. Trying to be even-handed and polite, the Brits said something diplomatic about McCain’s campaign, expecting Bush to express some warm words of support for the Republican candidate.
Not a chance. “I probably won’t even vote for the guy,” Bush told the group, according to two people present. “I had to endorse him. But I’d have endorsed Obama if they’d asked me.”
Remember when the Internet killed GAP’s new, awful logo? Here’s a refresher. And here’s a fun idea about what the creative meeting was like.
If you read nothing else about alcohol, make sure you read about the science. Remember, the science.
I’ve always wondered how many people have lived on Earth, in total, since you know, we started. Someone finally figured it out! Over 106 Billion. That’s a lot!
A fun clip from the Daily Show, my favorite part, “It turns out the people in the White house are not secret Muslims, they’re nerds!”
Inspired by a case in Florida in 2007 (I think), Obama extended the right to same-sex couples to be at the side of their partner in hospitals. This also extends the benefit to friends, such as in cases where there is no family left. Very classy, but a shame it took this long for it to happen.
And one more Daily Show clip, this one is pretty good, I love the yelling:
I posted the Spiderman version a little bit ago, now, what if Wes Anderson directed the Lord of the Rings? Spiderman seemed more like The Royal Tennenbaums, this one seems more like The Darjeeling Limited:
This is probably the best thought out computer virus I’ve ever heard of. It steals your temporary files and web browsing history (presumably also including passwords to things like banking sites and e-mail) and publishes them online, charging you about $20 to remove them. Awesome. Now I’m just waiting for karma to strike me.
Listen, this next video is strange, and probably crosses the line. Why am I posting it? Because it’s an interesting take on TV ads, as well as a neat execution. It’s from a campaign in The Netherlands to promote South Park. That really should tell you all you need to know. The first scene is the worst, but the fact that they get in killing Kenny should be commended. Anyway, you’ve been warned, you probably shouldn’t watch it:
And that’s it for now, have a great one everybody!
Ok, so I know it has been over two weeks, but I’m just getting to this now. NaNoWriMo has that affect…
Anyway, after the break is a huge update. I’m talking video clips, pictures, stuff from punditkitchen and graph jam! All kinds of me ranting, calming down, getting excited, and generally telling America to settle down. Also, some talk of advertising and the holiday spirit. So grab a drink (your pick) and head past the break for my election wrap up!
Also, watch me as I try to use the new page break feature in the new Joomla! Don’t let this explode…(it might have taken me a few tries to get it right…don’t judge, hehehe)
