What we're up to, and what we're in to - you'll find it here! Check often to find out about the Wizards of Weimer!

Business Week's 21 Ads You Won't Hate

This article ROCKS. Don't miss it. I spent the last hour looking into all of the advertising they include in this slideshow.

I'll post my favorite here to entice you. It's an ad agency's web site (entirely housed on YouTube). Watch it.

Post-it Stop-Motion - Deadline

I'm not sure if you guys share my fascination with stop motion. I'm always totally amazed at the time, patience, and attention to detail it must take to make one of these videos (Maybe because I'm just so impatient that I can't even understand how a person would do that).

Here's a new one. It's short and amusing. And there's a " making of " video as well in the description on YouTube.

PS: I'm having embed copy/paste issues, sorry.

Smoking Smarties

Not sure if anyone has heard/seen this...



Apparantly this is pretty old, but it's making new waves on YouTube. There are sereval different version, all with a "how-to" smoke smarties, but this one featuring a 10-year-old boy named Titus is getting all the attention. It's been posted on BuzzFeed, CollegeHumor, the video-gamer destination G4tv.com's "Attack of the Show", and the "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" blog. Along with dozens of other vidoes, there a numerous MySpace metions and groups on Facebook as well as tons of posts to blogs. The video is also the 5th link when "smarties" is typed into Google

There are clearly two problems happening... it perpetuates the "coolness" of smoking and could be some really bad PR for Smarties's maker Ce De. Ce De is a 60-year-old family owned company that is [probably] never in the news on anyone's top of mind. I mean, how often does anyone really think of Smarties, aside from the occasional pinata and perhaps Halloween?

The company is distancing itself from the videos and denying any connection... Is any PR good PR??

Saw this Trojan spot after the gator game on ESPN. Kind of in shock from the audacity.

Best Rickroll Ever

I love Cartoon Network, and Adult Swim. They planned this and that's why they rock.



And YouTube FINALLY put in a widescreen player. It's about damn time!

Update: CLEARLY YouTube hasn't gotten the widescreen player in the embed code. Get with the program for real.

Drunk History

Here's the concept: Get people wasted, then make them tell stories from history. Get other people to re-enact the stories (including Jack Black and Michael Cera from Superbad). It's YouTube genius at it's finest.

I'd suggest one or two, but they are all ridiculously hilarious. Check it out!

PS: our very own stoned UF management professor is in their favorites list!

This is Legal Tender Alright!

So I was surfing YouTube like always, and came across these hidden camera pranks where the guy tries to pay for all kinds of purchases with pennies in NYC. The reactions are priceless. Enjoy.
