Palm Pre is to Good Advertising as Florida State is to Good Football

in other words... this ad sucks. like, seriously, really sucks.



Will someone please explain how a fetal-looking woman talking about reincarnation relates to a benefit of a smartphone? The feature she is talking about is pretty basic and they show the phone for a grand total of 3 seconds in the entire spot. The iPhone is already clearly a better phone and they clearly have way better advertising... but besides those two things, after watching this horrible excuse for advertising, I would NEVER get a Palm Pre - out of spite.

Japan Rocks: Mini Robot makes Mini Coffee

Positive it's fake (unlike my previous Japanese robot post)...but this was too cute not to share.

The Order needs all the help it can get...

People in-the-know are fully aware that the "You-Know-Who" (the "Dark Lord" for you meanies) is well on his way to making his way back into the public eye. Unlike most of us who sit around and do nothing, the fine people of the Milwaukee suburb of Wauwatosa, WI. have decided to take the fight to him instead of waiting for him to make his move. They're spreading the word of his imminent, and disastrous, return.
















If only the rest of us were so brave...

Banner Ads that made me lolz...

So I know I haven't posted on here in a while but I wanted to share these banner ads because I thought they were pretty clever, especially one in particular. They're for templates that help make it easier for website developers to remember all the code tags and such they'll need to develop a site, and there's a lot to remember ( I just had my first portfolio site building class and it's already confusing the hell out of me). The banners were on a site about CSS Property tags and the copy for the first one caught my eye so I kept refreshing the site to see all the other ones. I admit they don't all have the same pop but I think they still do a good job of sending the messages. I would click on the link and just keep refreshing so you can see them in all their Flash glory:

Also, I know my birthday was last Friday but if anyone of you guys still want to get me a present I'll take this: Weight-Watch Belt...ok maybe not...

NYC Subway iPhone App

Another reason I want an iPhone and another awesome example of augmented reality...



Useful and brilliant.

Just for laughs

In light of posting movie trailers, I wanted to post one I saw recently that made me bust into an uncontrollable fit of laughter. Best. Trailer. Ever. (or its up there at least). The movie was pretty damn funny, but this preview was HILARIOUS! Just watch it.

Badass Resume

Posting for Lauren:

All the HR people on Digg say that they would definitely call that person back for an interview.

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

Preview for the movie 2012... you know, the end of the world according the Mayan calendar? Looks decent. It will definitely be entertaining...



but John Cusack? Really?

TFLN Monetizes Content

Check this out. Texts from last night has started a new form of advertising. I think it's a great idea IF the message strategy fits. I've seen previews for this movie. I think this fits. The ads aren't necessarily TsFLN, but the medium still works for the message, and I'm sure is resonating quite well with its intended target (not me, but a few of you).

I wonder what other advertisers will latch on to this. The Hangover missed a golden opportunity here, though. Agree?
