What does Unicorn Breath smell like?

Who knew? A short, well-done video on the origins of the “Keep Calm and Carry On” poster.

“What this business is about is not about selling stuff, this business is about creating strong provocative relationships between good companies and their customers.” ~ Great video interview of Dan Wieden of Wieden+Kennedy. He talks Nike, Levi’s and Old Spice; evolution, interaction and the art of storytelling.

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently.

They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward.

And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

Thank you, Steve.

It’s fantasy football time again. To all the fantasy football managers out there playing for blood, bones and bragging rights, sing it with me… Hoooshmandzadeh!!!

Tonight’s the season 1 finale of IFC’s PORTLANDIA with Fred Armisen. If you’re into advertising, you’ll love this 100% accurate (I can only imagine) look into the creative mothership, Wieden + Kennedy.

A double dose of adorable. Outtakes and bloopers from Deutsch LA’s Volkswagen ad “The Force” starring Lil Vader.

Happy Chinese New Year! Here’s a fun animated spot that depicts the animal race for the zodiac calendar. Sadly, a unicorn did not compete. Here’s to a big “Year of the Rabbit”!

I’m using the force and calling the best Super Bowl commercial before it happens. Darth Vader + precocious paduan = adorable + awesome.

One of my favorite TV spots, circa 1996.
