Many companies have spent the last couple of years desperately trying to invent ways to use the brushfire powers of viral marketing to sell products through the internet. Most of the time web users sniff out these attempts before they ever go viral, thwarting their expensive marketing efforts.
But Juicy Fruit has come up with an idea just crazy enough to work. They realized that anything unicorn-related gets attention online, so they recruited a unicorn puppet to lip-sync to romance ballads. Simply titled Serenading Unicorn, the ads are a partnership between Juicy Fruit and the Jim Henson Workshop. You can see the money and skill dripping off the frame thanks to the very high production values and expensive pop songs. While I’m still a bit confused as to how this sells sticks of gum, it sure is mesmerizing.
This latest installment of Between Two Ferns satisfies two curiosities: (1) Can Sean Penn be self-depricating and funny? (2) Can Zach Galifianakis play another type of character besides the awkward, stumbling doofus?
In this episode, Galifianakis plays his gay Southern twin brother Seth as he interviews a grumpy Penn, who plays off of Galifianakis’ routine with ease. It’s deadpan and pretty funny:
This is one of the greatest scenes of any war movie ever made … and someone made it even better by adding Donald Duck to it. Fascinating. And a pretty good imitation, too.
The original Robocop is one of my favorite films of all time. It’s bloody, hilarious, and thoughtful. Where in the world did that genius Paul Verhoeven go, anyway?
The one thing I never thought the film needed was a musical number, but apparently there are people out there with minds more warped and creative than mine. So they created a musical out of it. And it ain’t half bad.
I don’t dislike vegetarians, but some of them can be quite annoying. The ones that constantly tell you how wrong you are for killing and eating innocent animals. I don’t really care if someone wants to eat grass and twigs and smashed up mush burgers, but I don’t care to be told what I should eat either.
One of the most annoying things is when you go to someone else’s house and they want to impose their grass eating beliefs on you. Sometimes these people get so stuck in their world of making you understand their stance on meat eating that they don’t really see how close minded and selfish they are being. It’s OK to be vegetarian, but some of us want to eat a cow.
For those that are tired of the Peta police, here a funny video showing the meat eaters point of view.
