TOTD – Rock Stars!

Hugh MacLeod Rock Stars

Straight from Hugh…

“To paraphrase Graham Weston, the Chairman of one my clients, Rackspace, “Everybody wants to play on a winning team, doing something that matters.”

In other words, everybody wants to be a rock star, doing rock star stuff with other rock star people.

So I drew a rock star cartoon on the subject.

And so there y’are…”

Whose winning team are you playing on?

Coors Light – Tiger Woods


[YouTube] <— 3.025 Coors Light is advertising their new "master of cold" not so funny and [not genius] super cold ads on YouTube. Other then completely attempting to rip off the old spice guy I can clearly say I’m not a fan of this ad. Quit trying so hard to be funny and just make something simple. Maybe Ice Cube can save the day.

So instead of the Master of Cold… here is the masters of golf in a Tiger spec ad [genius].

Did Red Bull Just Make Rollerblading Cool?


[Red Bull Link]

I can’t judge a book by it’s cover, but apparently if you remove the inside wheels of your rollerblades – rollerblading is attempting to be cool again. A quick “Rollerblading” YouTube search reveals that since about 2008, this sport has gone “Aggressive”.

New Balance – Ubaldo Jimenez – “Tell Me”

[YouTube Link] <— 5,566 I recently visited New Balance and had the ability to interview the man in charge of creating this ad campaign. This series slightly reminds me of the 1980s No Fear ads... Genius. My next set of Baseball (now softball) cleats are going to be Nooobs. New Balance Baseball - Change the Game [Dustin Pedroia – Tell Me] <— 6,753

Level 1 – After Dark – Parker White Triple

[Vimeo Link] <— 86,500

“Believe the hype! Triples are the new hot thing in skiing. Not wanting to be left out and to push himself to the max, P White went after it this past week and stomped a triple of his own. Check the full shot and TONS more in Level 1’s forthcoming flick, “After Dark,” dropping September 9th, 2011.”

Only one question coming from me. Where is the Volcano?
