Warning: Reading this blog could seriously damage your opinion of me
Fed up with a boss that wouldn’t listen, by being too focussed on viewing numbers and not quality content, Marina Shifrin decided to quit… but rather than simply writing an email giving her reasons why, she created a video herself to get her point across… and with 13,000,000 views in 5 days, she’s obviously getting […]
Continue ReadingI really like coca cola, when I was in my 20’s I’d drink about 2-3 ltrs of the stuff a day (yes you read that correctly, that’s 8-10 cans a day), and contrary to what you may think, I was as thin then as I am now, plus I still have all my own teeth! […]
Continue ReadingWhile London was ablaze last night so was Twitter with #londonriots, not that any of it was worth reading, mostly knee jerk reactions saying, we need the army on the streets, oh I’m ashamed to be from the UK, if the police can’t handle this what about the Olympics, bring out the water cannons, use […]
Continue ReadingI saw this video on Phil’s Unionversity website yesterday and was blown away by this guys voice, the voice just doesn’t go with what you’re seeing, he’s amazing! Drugs and alcohol have taken their toll on his life and he’s fallen on hard times, but the social web has shown it’s a force for good […]

Continue ReadingJay sent me the link to this music video at the weekend assuming I’d like it, he was right, it’s wonderful, and 3 million other You Tube users think the same. Plus it would appear Pepsi were inspired by the idea for their Pepsi Refresh Project (One People) commercial “This music video was shot for […]
Continue ReadingI’d not heard of Judit and Judit before, but they appear to be a couple of comediennes from Sweden, anyway their parody of YouTube greats is brilliant
Continue ReadingHaving posted the OK Go video a couple of days ago, I thought I’d share this one with you too
Continue ReadingBuilding upon the success of their previous video OK Go decided to get a little more adventurous! Again all done in one take, just like the brilliant yet effortless looking Brylcreem advert
Continue ReadingI know it’s been around a long time and there’s been a few copycat TV adverts, but you can’t help watching this all the way through and admiring the originality and imagining the time taken to rehearse it, so as to do it in one take!
Continue ReadingWant to download a video from YouTube (or most websites?) Install this plugin for Firefox http://www.downloadhelper.net/ Of course most files stored on YouTube are in Adobe’s Flash format (.flv), so you will require something to play them back. You can use VLC, but wouldn’t it be better if you could us QuickTime? Download and install Perian (you’ll need […]

Continue ReadingThis video, filmed over the course of 15 months, depicts a man doing some bus stop dancing while waiting for public transport. During the video, the man shows off his best Michael Jackson moves to the world.
Continue ReadingYou have to admire Verizon’s audacity in creating this advert to try and snag AT&T customers over to their network, by playing upon Apple’s “There’s an App for That” tagline used in their iPhone & App Store adverts (in case you’ve been living in a cave for the past year, you’ll find plenty of them […]
Continue ReadingI know it’s very immature but what the hell, it made me laugh (especially 3 minutes in). Although it’s worth bearing in mind that this is actually quite funny even without the dubbing (f*cking scary actually!). Special thanks to Ed Alves for posting this on his Facebook wall, what terrific friends I have!
Continue ReadingMicrosoft have surpassed themselves, as only Microsoft can. I never thought my nomination of their Songsmith advert for worst video of 2009 could be beaten… unbelievably, they’ve proven me wrong! The Windows 7 Launch House Party? At first I thought this was a parody, but no, it’s actually real! Just make sure your diary is […]

Continue ReadingAs I’ve re-quoted before “Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital“ Aaron Levenstein This video makes compelling reading/watching, but read between the lines, there’s more to this than meets the eye, major changes are unfolding in the social media environment, information/data/ID aggregation is becoming the new hot […]

Continue ReadingOK let’s be honest here, the packaging Pot Noodle comes in tastes better than the contents, and I don’t think their new Kebab flavoured Pot Noodle is going to improve things, but the advert made me smile!
Continue ReadingYesterday Triiibes exploded, when 2,000 new members came knocking on the door, it’s been impossible to keep up or welcome all the new faces, who cover an incredibly broad range of people & talents. But there’s one that stood out from the crowd for me Allee Willis (& Wikipedia). You may not know the name, […]

Continue ReadingI first heard about the Christian Bale hissy fit on Phil’s Unionversity blog, but here’s a couple of inventive alternatives, the doughnuts one is brilliantly done. While amusing for those not involved, these clips aren’t one offs, I’ve worked on numerous film sets and know enough people within the industry to know these are a […]
Continue ReadingI honestly didn’t think Microsoft was capable of creating an advert that was worse than their Tron Guy ad, but au contraire, they’ve managed it no problem… in fact, it’s safe to say that they’ve impressed me just how far they have pushed the limits of complete & utter tripe! Don’t worry Apple, you may […]
Continue ReadingI was just browsing Mary McKnight’s blog at Sacrilicious Marketing when I also noticed the Pedophile Beard viral video below by Jon La Joie, I’ll be honest, I haven’t laughed out loud like that for quite some time. There’s plenty more videos on his website. This is another good one, Show Me Your Genitals (I […]
Continue ReadingThere are those that label a personal domain name as a vanity domain, but I disagree… having a personalised number plate is vanity, owning a personalised URL is foresight… what’s the difference? I’ll give you an example. In an interview, a young woman of 16 said, I want to more famous than Persil Automatic, that […]
