TOTD – Internet Famous

Posted on May 13, 2011 by hydle

“I have a lot of friends that you could describe as “Internet Famous”. One of the advantages of being an early-adaptor blogger is seeing the careers of some your friends from the early days take of. Sometimes, seeing them take of to the sky, it seems.

Whereas you, well, you’re just the same. Still stuck in the same ol’ same ol’.

Unlike your now-famous rockstar friends. Or whatever.

All is vanity.”

Can you raed this? Olny 55 plepoe out of 100 can.

TOTD – Rock Stars!

Posted on May 7, 2011 by hydle

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

Posted on May 7, 2011 by hydle

[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].

LISTEN

We often forget who we are.
We often forget what is really important.
We often forget who’s really important.
We are so easily distracted.
We forget how to listen.
We forget.

Such an amazing reminder to us all… Thanks Hugh.

Did Red Bull Just Make Rollerblading Cool?

Posted on May 2, 2011 by hydle

[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...
