EPIC FAILS OF THE WEEK

And you thought only birds smacked into glass. For one Mullen ad agency Creative Director, the agency security camera was, well, in the right place at the right time.



This high jumper is raising the bar on pure failure and perpetuating the dumb blonde stereotype epically.

WHAT A CRACKPOT OF A TRAGEDY. OUR HEARTS GOES OUT TO THOSE AFFECTED IN AUSTIN, TX

Joe Stack was no ordinary guy.  He flew a plane after all. And in his wake of pain, he left an obsessive letter for us to devour and digest. If only the help for people in this mental state could be readily available. In light of 'Psychologists' such as the professor and the serviceman going nuts recently, can we really say who is sane and who is not anymore?

SOUTHWEST AIRLINES STARS IN THEIR OWN VERSION OF COP OUT

Director @thatkevinsmith (twitter), was recently bounced by Southwest Airlines for 'being too fat to fly.' Although they later admit this was all a big misunderstanding, they're still giving famed director and all around good human being Silent Bob a hard time in admitting and telling people that he really isn't 'too fat too fly.'

SAVAGE GARDEN AND PUMA AND HOOLIGANS

For Valentine's Day Puma went where no guy should and nailed it! Thanks @rozelly007 for the find.

PAY TO PRESS PLAY

According to Nielsen, we're a lot more generous than the media would like to believe. Based on a poll of average internet users  - those willing to pay for various media consumption they already get for free - people are actually quite content if the cost came right out of their pocketbooks.

FEB 27TH WILL GO DOWN IN INFAMY

Come out one and all, 'cause The Baddies is back in Chicago for another night of mayhem, offensive ads and unadulterated fun. If you're in advertising, good. If you're not, no worries. But make sure you have a baddie with you (that's an ad that you made for a real product. To win the coveted 'Golden Shower,' one must create a baddie so awful, so offensive that it stuns and creates murmurs through the beer filled Slugger's room. RSVP here.

OBEY STEPHEN COLBERT

Obey Giant, AKA Shepard Fairey, created this illustration/poster to commemorate Stephen Colbert's sponsorship of the 2010 USA Speed Skating team. And in typical fashion, Colbert is a warrior eagle.

IT DOES EXIST: THE G-POINT

This beautiful mouse design by YANKO DESIGN is called the G-point. I´m not sure how well it works. Still... practice makes perfect boys.

AREN'T WE ALL JAY-Z, AREN'T WE ALL

I didn't get into the Blueprint 3 until this week. Partly out of trepidation and partly because of nightmare of Kingdomcom. But I will say, this is some good stuff. And this track here is a pure banger.

SICCCCCCK NEW DWADE NIKE SPOT

Wasn't he signed with Converse? Either way, this ad makes me forget everything and leaves me with dunk nightmares!

WRANGLER`S NEW WEB SITE

Really simple, but great website for Wrangler´s new Bluebell Collection 2010. The interactivity on the site is very well done and it`s a smart, fun way to show the clothes in movement.

DRIFT

An interesting execution of stop motion animation technique that I haven´t seen before. Like walking through a city dream through the eyes of bird. Via Today And Tomorrow.

THIS IS THE GOP HOLDING CONFERENCES IN HAWAII

The GOP claims that fiscal conservatism somehow means holding their party's conference in Hawaii. Who are these morons and what havoc are they running the country towards? I weep for whatever future they have in mind. Beyond ridiculous and a comedy gem from John Oliver from the Daily Show.

A @10iller ENCOUNTER

Spotted Bronx songstress, Tennille, at a Chicago Bar the other night chilling with Chuck is dope of the Cool Kids and crew. Really fun to talk to, and laid back as maple syrup pancakes. If you haven't heard of her yet, you should. Enjoy the following clips.

BOOST MOBILE TAKES TOP SUPERBOWL HONORS

In a somewhat crowded field of old cliches, overused babies and over-the-top theatrics, there was one commercial that won me over. Not to sound biased, because I am from Chicago, but the geriatric Superbowl XX champs reprising their roles brought me back to my childhood and left the case for borrowed interest wide open. If only Walter Payton was around to enjoy it.

CAMPER, A WOMAN CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH SHOES

This spot, by Camper of Spain, takes a nice subtle spin on Valentine's Day to promote their free shipping for the week. By only focusing on the feet, Camper is able to tell a timeless story made possible only by the foot fetish, er, shoe fetish of a woman. Props. Oh, and their shoes are damn comfortable to boot.

GRANDMAS OF THE JERSEY SHORE

These grandmas go to town on the cast of the Jersey Shore.

'They're all nude in the hot tub. Probably get AIDS'
'She has no underpants on. That's wonderful.'
'Can't you believe in Jesus without a tattoo.'

Just in time for V Day, Verizon goes for the other love muscle, the heart, with their new 3G coverage ads. This time, they're using the Big Red theme song and Da Beers diamonds to drive the point home. Is there a map for that AT&T?

Oscar Nominations 2010: Complete List For 82nd Academy Awards

This comment is pending approval and won't be displayed until it is approved.



Are you talking about nazis, or the movie, because your reasons sound like why the nazis started their 6 million jew massacre. I think you're confusing this movie with movies like 'Saw' and the such. You know, movies that have no artistic merit. All I'm saying is, this is not the worst movie ever. That's a bloated, loaded and, to use your words, 'idotic' statement. I'd like to hear what you believe to be worthy movies. The movie was a glorification of the horrendous nature of the people that it performed sadistic violence towards. Do you consider telling people they are going to take a 'shower' and then gas them to death not sadistic. Cause that's what the nazis did. Or how about, 'hey board this train, it's going to a nice and better place.' (that's what the nazis told the jews). The nazis were the most sadistic and screwed up humans (if you can call them that) that existed. I applaud Tarantino for taking his style and giving us an alternate view of how the nazis should have been treated. Thank you and good day.

HUMP DAY CRACKDOWN: THE STATE OF THE INTERNET

BROOKLYN'S FIGHT AGAINST GENTRIFICATION

Street artist Specter takes a traditional advertising route, the city billboard, and uses it as a shock and awe campaign to remind the yuppies that, well, they're gentrification is not welcome in Brooklyn, NY.

In a city where money is power, and property is more precious than blood diamonds, Specter may be fighting a losing battle, but at least he's not letting Jay-Z's home turf go down like a failed drug deal. Exhibit opens February 4th, 2010 and runs through May 10th at MoCADA @ 80 Hanson Place

OBAMA GETS ALL Q&A ON THE GRAND OLE PARTY

And the crowd goes wild. President Obama gave one of his most important Q & A sessions last week. He went into the Lion's den, AKA the GOP, and gave them the transparency they so desperately have been asking for since Obama took over their mess a little over a year ago. And, he nailed it!

Here's to America in 2010. If the first ten minutes of The Daily Show doesn't make you a believer, then watch again.

DOES THE AMERICAN IDOL VIDEOGAME LEAD TO REAL LIFE SUCCESS?

Lesson kids, just because Simon says you are awesome on the video game, it does not mean you are ready for the big show. Janet is living proof that the game is a far cry from reality. But she does have a 'Pocket fool of sunshine,' so who really cares. Keep the dream alive.

JERSEY SHORE GETS THE MEIN FUHRER TREATMENT
