Germans are crazy

Here's a German take on Soft Cell's "Tainted Love" done for a promotion.

30 Seconds

With the rise of "Mad Men" and the fall of "Trust Me" comes a new comedy series in Australia called "30 Seconds."

Have it your way

Here's a really creepy yet cool promo for "Night of the AdEaters."

a laptop so thin...

Now here's a viral video for you. Apparently this laptop is soooo thin, you can catch it w/ your butt...

Keep Walking

This is a cool video. It's the story of Johnnie Walker in a video entitled "The Walk (The Man who walked around the world)" This was created by BBH London Agency and stars Robert Carlyle. Keep Walking.

Brand extensions have gone too far

This is a prime example of brand extensions gone too far...come on, really? Ed Hardy hand sanitizer?


Oh, I'm sorry, I guess I'm just not hip and trendy enough. This isn't just ANY hand sanitizer we're talking about here. It's the this beautiful plastic wrapper with a gaudy tiger on it. I was blown away when I saw this at TJ Maxx where I work part-time. I personally can't merit spending $50-$100 on a shirt, but an MSRP or $8 for this stuff!? Sure Ed Hardy has shirts, hats, belts, bags, shoes, etc...but just wow. Sometimes brands need to take a step back and think for a second, is this really a good idea? Sure some people will buy anything, and with N1H1 out there, I can sort of understand, but this just doesn't work. I hear more negativities about this stuff than people purchasing it. I'm going to say this was a bad idea, think before you develop marketers.

Building up for Tron 2

So the new Tron: Legacy (Tron 2/Tr2n) movie was just released at the San Diego Comic Con..and it looks AMAZING! Full of Light Cycle goodness!

Well, upon further research, a neat viral campaign went along with it. Here is the excerpt from the wikipedia entry:

On July 21, 2009, several movie-related websites posted they had received via mail a pair of "Flynn's Arcade" golden coins along with a flash drive. Its content was an animated gif image that showed CSS code lines. Four of them were put together and part of the code was cracked, revealing the url to Flynnlives.com, a fiction site mantained by activists who believe Kevin Flynn is alive, even though he's been missing since 1989. Clicking on a tiny spider in the lower section of the main page leads to a countdown clock that hits zero on July 23, 2009, 9:30pm PDT. Within the Terms of Use Section, an address was found. It lies in San Diego, CA, near the city's convention center where the Comic Con 2009 is taking place and some footage/info on the sequel is expected to be released. Flynn's Arcade was re-opened at that location, with several Space Paranoids arcade machines and a variety of '80s video games. A full-size light cycle from the new movie was on display.
A second viral site, homeoftron.com, has been found. It portrays some of the history of Flynn's Arcade as well as a fan memoir section.

Pretty cool way to countdown and get buzz about the unknown premiere for the trailer.
