I had a friend send this to me earlier today and I had to post it up here.  I wasn’t sure what to make of this video at first but after a couple minutes I actually started to enjoy it.  Must be Christmas or something.  I don’t know what Gylne Tider means but it seems to be a Nordic TV thing.  That’s as much research as I was willing to do.

This video is filled with celebrities of today and yesterday.  It’s like playing where are they now except they are all in this video.  My person favorties are Carlton from “Fresh Prince”, Ted Bundy from “Married with Children”, Dolph Lundgren from “Rocky IV” and Lou Ferrigno from “Hulken”.  Fab Forvan is in it from Milli Vinilli but he’s just lip synching. Enjoy!

Quite well I might add…  We all love those Old Spice commercials with Isaiah Mustafa showing our ladies what a man should be like.  Well, Page 3 gives their take on it featuring the beautiful Rosie Jones to show us what a woman should be like.

Check out the video after the break for your weekend eye-candy…

I came across this video at Reason.tv and thought it aptly showed how the political process has gotten BETTER in American and NOT worse.  Each election cycle you hear many people say that this is the worst ever, and then the next cycle it’s the worst ever.  Believe me…it’s not.  I’ve worked in it.  I have done these ads.  I have done opposition research.  I’ve been that guy that you all look at your TV and say, who comes up with this stuff.  Yea that was me.  It’s never as bad as people think.  Unless it is. Thought this video would help put some of the attack ads that we just finished watching into perspective.  Enjoy.

Augmented reality is growing in popularity but this is by far the best display I’ve seen.  For the new Adidas sneakers, the company has embedded codes in their tongues, which enables you to open up an online world via webcam at the Adidas website.  This is great advertising and product design!

Entering the last day of the Vancouver Olympics you’re probably getting used to a lot of the flags from around the world.  Now what if those flags were made of food?

Well if they were, they would look like this.  These dishes were created to celebrate the Sydney International Food Festival, the flags of participating countries were recreated using  popular local foods from each nation.  Now I’m hungry…

This is a cool ad campaign from Adidas called “Create Your Adicolor”.  The ads were produced by agency TBWA Barcelona and the photographs were by Ramón Serrano.  I haven’t seen these state side so I assume they were kept across the pond.  Check out more images after the break.
