Beauty and brains :))

I love jokes about stupid blondes, and I am no racist. I just think that the people who are told these jokes HAVE to be intelligent enough to understand that it's not meant to be mean specifically to blondes.
Racism is an interesting topic, by the way, but I'm not into discussing it right in this post...
I love Mercedes Benz also. They might be a little too "high-class" for my taste, but still... love it. So, yes, they too have a good set of commercials spread all over YouTube, but this "blew me away", if quoting yourself is normal :)
Watch it first:

What really impressed me was the "tagline" to say so, after the clip, "Beauty is nothing without brains" ! Again, powerful and very direct message, kinda lets you think a lil' bit. Like it was something new!? But it really touches a nerve there...
The blonde's face looks, honestly, strikingly stupid, almost like if she would carry a "watch out! i'm STUPID" poster with her. The way her hair looks and the clothes.... I don't know, but they really managed to create a "stupid"-aura around the poor actress. And, of course, I always appreciate good acting, anytime, and this was no exception...
Congrats, Mercedes!

The Whopper Freakout

Watch this interesting video on different people's reaction when being announced that their favorite product is not available any more... It is about Burger King's whopper sandwich, action takes place in the US, of course :P

For those who are not familiar: the Whopper sandwich is the signature product sold by Burger King.

Ikea commercials

I hope you know the funny Ikea commercials, if not... "youtube it" :)

Here's one I didn't know about, but this just blew me away...


It's brilliant, it strikes me with just its power and going beyond limits. Perhaps some will find it violent or inappropriate, but I just love it. The silly Swedish sales clerk and the whole silly Ikea crew is so funny, it shows they're fun and open, and capable of making fun of anything. Fun rules! :) By the way, I just realized - it reminds me somehow of Borat :)) Oh gosh, I just want to watch it again and again... :D
Oh... I want to go to Ikea again... Their food...:) By the way, do you think that when I think of going to Ikea, I think of eating there, is a good thing? for Ikea of course...? Cause I don't think their goal is to be associated straight with their kitchen.... although i love their furniture and everything, too... But still, their food........:) read more...

Live rules

I might as well call this blog "Youtube selections", but I'll try to randomize what I find from Y and what I find from "other places" (funny, huh), so it doesn't seem like it.

I can call myself a Sugababes fan, not as much as a Beyonce one, but I'm getting there :)) My fave songs are probably "Stronger" and "Too lost in you", plus... "Follow me home" and a lot others :D I remember when I got my first Sugababes cassette (:D) and listened to the whole album ("Angels with Dirty Faces"), I found a song that absolutely disgusted me, called "Freak like me". There are songs that just sound so weird, you don't want to hear it again. It made me sick.
Here is a live version of "Freak like me". I fell (not "back"!) in love with this song :)

Is this funny?

I don't wanna judge anybody, especially a whole nation by one example, but this is waaay too much. You wouldn't believe it...


Again, not that I wanna judge..but once an American 10 grader asked me "Is Europe like... an island?"
How in the world, could anyone be so ignorant, and not KNOW???!!! what Europe is??? Holy shit.
I loved the women jokes, especially in this example :P

Thank you, MTV

I've just seen this on MTV. actually I've heard it first and was like "?!"
So, thank you MTV, sometimes u're resourceful ;)

Vanilla Sky 'spoof', song is called... you'll see


I really hope Rihanna doesn't get upset, I actually liked this song way before it got #1 and still like it ;)

Later edit: Oh yeah, have you seen this one? I absolutely love it, even more than 'the Rihanna one'..:) [Alanis Morissette - My Humps]


I love the song that turned out from this, Alanis' voice is powerful.. read more...

Spice Girls

Spice Girls reunited! How exciting :)) I can't believe they did such a ***tty video. I can't believe how poor and uninteresting the song is, cause, com'on, it's catchy stuff when smth new comes up about them... And they probably made huge plans on how to get back together... The only 2 good things in this 'crap' is Geri's abs and Mel C's vocals...
[Mel C is the brunette one with fringe]
And Victoria...aahhh I can't even tell you how much I dislike her, beyond limits...
And Emma (blonde at the beginning) looks like an old lady from the market... 'holy mother of god'(© Alan, "Two Men and a Half")...


Check Amy Winehouse singing live "Rehab", I love this 'video'.... and tell me what you think ;)

Shadow poster :: VW

A few days ago, I discovered this site, or better so... somebody discovered it for me and believe me, I spent these few days checking it out doing nothing else (u know...). I found tons of spectacular, uber-creative, revolutionary, amazing ads (I limited myself looking only on their print gallery), and found this up here too... I thought this is incredible. Incredibly simple actually, but so smart and god... just fantastic!

Ok, so the ad is for Volkswagen's Eos convertible model and it's.. conveeeertible! So: air, wind, sky, SUN! Sun, yes! So how do we relate our convertible to the Sun? A: Do a shadow poster.. (dull intonation) OMG it actually seems that this technique has never been used before! Can you believe it? I can't.. but 've been unsuccessful with googling on this so far, so holler if you got smth...

As you can probably see from the pictures, they placed a big tough poster on the edge of a wall (or smth) but the poster isn't built to be looked at, its SHADOW is! So it has cut out letters and logo , completely cut out, so the sun rays could travel thru them and 'draw' words on the ground, beside the wall. The poster itself looks totally awkward because of its position and because you can't read what it says (the correct side with the message is facing the sun).

But what a great idea, to get people's attention that the sun is up and well :D, all shining, and to build an unconventional "invitation" for test driving the new convertible, which is also built for sunny weather!

To add that this campaign was held in Germany (from what I've found) and the message on it is in German, ya! Oh yeah, this is a very crazy form of unconventional marketing, it's evidently not a common outdoor ad poster. By the way, if anybody (anybooodyyy??!...) wants to talk/be told about this matter, I'm always up for it :D

So, here's their official copy for the mighty ad:

"VW Eos Shadow Poster
_______

Challenge
Increase the number of test drives of the new Eos convertible. Target group: Men and women between 25 and 59 years of age, better educated and better off.
_______
Strategy
Who is more qualified for advertising a convertible than the sun itself? Therefore we got the sun to invite people for a test drive by shining through the world's first shadow poster.
_______
Results
Everywhere we put it up, the shadow poster not only caused a stir but also increased the number of test drives by more than 12%. Thus the 2000 Euro poster caused a positive PR in the value of about 200.000 Euros."

The car is awesome looking, too...Ahhh... Very cute and compact....

BTW: Sorry for such an 'amateur' point of view, but I just can't help it, I've become really passionate about this ad now. Time will tell if I can come up with a more professional analytical explanation for this ;)

Bday

Not mine. His. It just pinpoints the time when I started my first blog. Oh such an old idea, actually started with yahoo360 or whatever, but that didn't seem workable. And really, didn't have that many "ideas to be put in a post"... Now, that I deleted that thing, actually about a year ago, it seems like I would write smth almost every day.. (what is it that sometimes I'm driven to write "everyday" altogether.. ummmm.. is "altogether" right? ohh wow cool thing).. Anyway, so you see "ideas" are coming in a crazy stream, but I promise to be organized. But who cares?

Welcome to my blog, yes. Let's see how that works.
