What about Global Warming?

A very funny rant on non-profits and global warming. Zefrank is funny and quite original. Why don’t they give this guy complete complete control over Saturday Night Live and fire the other writers. Better yet, cancel Saturday Night Live and start “Zefrank Show.”

C’mon Lorne Michaels, it’s time to give someone else a shot!

Holiday Gift Idea:
Make a Secret Compartment Book

The Make: Magazine blog has a nifty little gift idea posted over on their blog. Just think how excited grandpa will be as he hides his glock 9mm in “War and Peace.” I can almost see that big ‘ol smile right now.
Ever since I was a kid I loved anything with a secret compartment. Just remember how effective the secret compartment book worked out in the “The Shawshank Redemption.”

Forget the Honda Odyssey Viking spot

The Honda Odyssey Viking spot isn’t all that cool. Oh yeah, sure I think I’ll buy an Odyssey because it reminds me of the old van culture of the 70s + 80s. But van culture is so much cooler now, right? Nothing says cool better than a Honda mini van.

I know men who are cringing right now at the thought of even owning a mini van. Because they’re probably thinking “Hey, that commercial was pretty cool.” “If I purchase that mini van, I probably won’t feel like a soccer mom driving it.”

Commercials over the years have certainly become more entertaining. Agencies will use bands you never thought would end up in commercials. They use humor as the main hook. They dig deep and deliver a result that has you saying “what the heck was that?” I still haven’t seen anything as cool as the Honda “Cog” spot. It’s nothing short of brilliant. The funny thing is that the commercial is two minutes long and I remembered that it was Honda. How many times do you see a spot and cannot for the life of you remember who it was for. Only in Europe does an agency get to produce something so cool that it becomes an instant classic.

Isn’t it nice when things just work…

A kid’s show you won’t see anytime soon

After sitting through hours of children’s programing, you almost expect something like this might happen. Let’s face it, a gator can be pretty mean. Dealing with all those singing muppets eventually pushes Gali to the edge.

Gali the Aligator
Here comes Gali the Alligator
He’s a puppet decimator
Little birdies chewed to death
You can smell blood on his breath

Cuddly bunnies live in fear
And he’ll pull off their fluffy ears
Better stay off of his path
You want to escape his wrath

Watch out Barney – you’re next!

Led Zeppelin releases songs digitally for the first time

Congratulations dinosaurs – welcome to the nineties! Now you can trade in your 8-tracks, cassettes, and compact discs for the latest new fangled technology. An MP3 player!

Fans can purchase songs including the tired and overplayed Stairway to Heaven and Whole Lotta Love digitally for the first time. Guitarist Jimmy Page was quoted as saying that he was pleased with the move, which would “better enable fans to obtain our music in whatever manner they prefer”. Wow Jimmy, you are right on the cusp of technology. What’s next, a haircut? Say it isn’t so.

Although the group have sold more than 300 million albums worldwide their release on digital stores like iTunes will only add more cash in ‘ol Robert Plant’s pocket. Good thing I already ripped my CD’s.

Virgin America is the new jetBlue

When jetBlue first rolled out in 2001, I was one of the early adopters. No first class, all leather seats, DirectTV… WHAT, TV on a plane? Why didn’t anyone think of that before. After watching television on a trip from Ft. Lauderdale to New York, I was hooked. How could I possibly fly any other airline. Why would I want to fly any other airline.

So there it is. JetBlue figured out what jet setters wanted and boy did they deliver. Did I care about the simple snacks served on jetBlue? Those terraBLUE chips. (Okay, I get it, I get it), those cookies, and all the other tasty morsels they offer. The snacks are unlimited and you can eat as many snacks as you wish. They even give you little bottles of water. Doesn’t this make sense on a plane. It sure beats those sad little cups of water those other airlines offer.
