Last time we saw the hunter and the bear we could change the story and have him tickle the bear, play soccer with the bear, party with the bear.. and now the Hunter and the bear are back! They're celebrating the bears birthday party when one of those pesky viral meteoritesss come crashing in. With Tipp-ex you can now time-travel to 2005 when youtube was brand new, your birth year or any other times with the hunter and the bear to change the story. No points for doing the dramatic bear in 2005, you know that wasn't happening back then....

Here's the case study of a Hunter Shoots a bear:

Creative's in-joke or did we miss something?

The new online campaign for Scion iQ has us all a bit perplexed. And not in a good way. Perhaps it was just an in-joke gone awry. The puns begin with the car doing donuts. And people eating donuts. Right. But what's with the milk? Double visual entendre starts with the fact that they're at Randy's Donuts. Girls in bikinis with white liquid all over them. Check.

The Mother Project: wear a scarf = support FM radio towers that broadcast songs of forgiveness to child soldiers

Invisible Children co-founder Bobby Bailey, who left the charity in 2009, has created another project sure to go viral. It's the voiceproject.org where the idea is that you buy a scarf with loving lyrics on it, and the money goes to fund FM radio masts which will broadcast songs sung by women from the Acholi tribe in northern Uganda asking their children to come home.

The project has been backed by the likes of Billy Bragg, Peter Gabriel and Tom Waits. They're encouraging other musicians to cover the Acholi tribe songs as well. Will this clip below reach as many eyeballs as Kony2012 did?

Cat people (not the movie) are scarier than you think.

Purina® Cat Chow® has sprinkled their youtube channel with ®'s and added a two minute video showing people fessing up to being "a cat person". I can see where this idea might have begun, cat people are not dog people. Cat people are.. well.. different lets say. Driven by an undying love for a furball who coughs up their latest meal on the silk pillows, sharpens their claws on the antique chairs, and sheds twice as much hair on any item of clothing that is the opposite color of their fur. Yes, we're different, and there's an insight here. But the video shows people admitting to being cat people as if they are at an AA-meeting, before explaining why they are cat people. "Because he doesn't care if I have a bad hair day" says the man with not much hair at all, and that's the closest we get to it ever being funny. And that "insight" is so old it has whiskers on it. "I am a cat person" is repeated far too many times, and somehow, we're supposed to feel compelled to share this video with other cat people.

Israel Loves Iran

When you run into a good idea it is hard to ignore it. When it is a ridiculous idea it is absolutely impossible.

I guess many Israelis that saw the “Israel Loves Iran” indie campaign thought to themselves that this cannot be ignored. Putting aside the political issue, I wonder if this is the next generation of political campaigns. It doesn’t take much to make some noise in social media, put up a Facebook page, YouTube channel, link everything to a website, or in this case a subdomain at a website where most of its pages lead to 404 error page, and you got yourself a homemade campaign. Next stage is tipping the traditional media that every story, as absurd as it maybe will make them bit the bite since it involves Facebook.

Bram van Boxel from Stamenkovits Stibbe Stalenhoef Schreuder & Orchestra tells us that "Everyday we send really large files via WeTransfer.com, so it was time to make our own branded channel.... but not one with static images like everyone else has, we made a memory game to play while you wait for the files to load."

Here it is: ssss-orchestra.wetransfer.com

We have to admit, that's kinda cute.

Aaron Draplin has a bit of a problem, he loves design a little too much, like so many talented designers out there. He loves it so hard he'll drunk-buy old motel signs and cry a little at their destruction. Hand on your heart, all designers, art directors, typographers, illustrators and yes, even copywriters out there. Haven't we all collected retro ketchup wrappers, flea market postcards, old key-chains, random empty boxes (yes that's mine) and thingie-mah-bobs just because they are a little piece of design pretty? I feel for Aaron Draplin, I really do, and I too weep a little at the destruction of our design history. I might even swear as much and use Futura in the titles. Check draplin.com for more.

Superbowl XLVI is soon upon us and Volkswagen are already barking up their own hype by getting a canine chorus to howl-bark the Imperial March theme. They promise this will all make sense come game day, meanwhile the intergalactic invite site will ensure you don't miss anything if you are inclined to sign up. Former Star Wars fans are all rotating in their mother's basement right now, whimpering about the horrors of prequels "... and little dogs too!" as we speak.

How to sell a book in this day&age: make a swearing youtube video

Simon Spurrier is just a tad ticked off that his novel released last year, "A Serpent Uncoiled", has barely moved despite raving reviews. So now that it's also out in paperback and Kindle edition he has decided to give it a proper viral sendoff with a video containing more made-up swear-words than anything else on the intarwebs today. Well played, you mono-buttocked buggernaut.

Play spent - find a job and try to survive on the meager paycheck you get.

If you fancy getting really down this morning, try and play a game of Spent. In the scenario you are presented with, you haven't a dime to your name and need a job fast. Try taking one and see how long you last with all your expense while kids need school outings, insurance needs to be paid and your rent is outrageous. I lasted 14 hypothetical days before I was spent.

G+ moves into meme-generating territory with new text on images feature

Posted by dabitch on 18. January 2012 - 6:26

G+ is like the huge, rich, unpopular kid on the schoolyard, trying every trick in the book at every recess to gain popular status. This includes doing what everyone else is doing, and nicking other peoples lunch boxes. Now G+ announces a new feature 'adding funny text to photos', and we can generate meme-images without having to go to the likes of meme generator. I'm sure it'll be popular, but I'm probably not the only one who cringes every time I see Google steamroll over the smaller guys. Like when they poached customers from Mocality in Kenya, and from a more personal p.o.v. when they keep shutting adland's adsense off because they think lingerie is pornography so perfectly timed right before the super bowl as well. Do no evil, just act like that huge rich, unpopular kid in the schoolyard that everyone hates. Once school is over, you're a social pariah, enjoy.

Pizza Boomerang, it flies, it slices off body parts, it's al dente

The latest stunt from Sofa Experience Communications who are apparently a bunch of nutters having a great time in Barcelona, is the Boomerang Superhero / God. A man who invents the Ultima Pizza. One that won't burn your mouth, can travel across the earth, cut off the penises of flashers - wait, what? - and return back to the God still suitably hot and al dente to boot. Not that I'd wanna eat any pizza that's been through all that but it takes all kinds, and that song sticks to your head like pizza dough does to your hair.

@JesseRosten mocks every single beauty product out there and Adobe with his sleek spook ad for
Fotoshop by Adobé
. He explains "this commercial isn't real, neither are society's standards of beauty." just to make sure none of the spoofed trademarked products and taglines come after him for this parody.

MC Hammer to launch new search engine

Yes, you read that headline right. MC Hammer is launching a search engine called WireDoo.com. Can he compete with the likes of Google and Bing (not to mention Yahoo!, Ask.com, and all the rest?) I find it hard to believe that this will go anywhere, but I've been surprised by much less.
Here's a clip from Web 2.0 of Hammer talking about it.
