GOOGLE MAP THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE

New Google Maps mash up lets you run from zombies. You're not equipped with ammo, but you can simulate the carnage in your own neighborhood. I chose downtown Chicago just for kicks. The red dots on the map represent zombies in your area to avoid. Didn't survive too long (Look closely at the road, you can see a little zombie about to attack.) Via: Boing Boing.

TAKE A WALK WITH THE "REARVIEW GIRLS"

Instant classic from the good people of Levi's. Playing up the feature that draws the most attention, we see life from the perspective of the female's 'behind.' It's obviously a beautiful thing —and a clever use of hidden camera to capture authentic reactions. Score one for the booty. Via: Rob E & Schwartzie14



Behind the scenes: How they made that rump shaker. Very simple and inconspicuous

INTERNET MEMESTERS GO TO TOWN ON THOM YORKE'S DANCING

It was only a matter of time before Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke's dance moves from "Lotus Flower" were spoofed.

The internet grab held of this meme-in-waiting and reconfigured Radiohead's just released music video to sync up with such classics as Beyonce's "Single Ladies," Genuwine's "Pony" and Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." Doubtful we'll ever see Thom show up on Dancing With The Stars, but maybe the attention his moves are now garnering will propel him to dance hall king. Via: Funny or Die + @kentcarmichael

Sweet throwback b-movie trailer for The Black Keys "Howlin' for You" off their latest album, Brothers; song as soundtrack to a fake movie trailer... brilliant.

AND SO THE SUPER AD BOWL WEEKEND BEGINS

Lot of buzz per usual surrounding the $3 million ads set to appear for Superbowl XLV. So far the front runner, VW Darth Vader, has already set the internet on fire. I'm hoping for even bigger surprises come Sunday. Here's the mentioned ad and a few others either banned or already up. With 5 million views (as of this moment) for VW, they may have garnered enough hype to render their ad purchase redundant. Though with 200 million plus watching the biggest sporting event in America, that number is merely a fraction. Via: Adfreak

Banned PETA ad (Ashamed to include this one. But it's banned, and the people of PETA just keep resorting to whatever shameless tactics they can to get attention)
