Just in time for tax season — if you haven’t done your taxes yet, maybe you should consider Mo Money Taxes, who happens to believe that surreal advertising with military men and protesters is the best way to attract new clients in Montgomery, AL.

A beautiful advertisement for the French nuclear energy corporation Areva done in the exact same style as Royksopp’s Remind Me video. And nothing says “scary power company” than a commercial set to Funkytown.

Garbage day!
Huh?

Somehow I remember not wincing in pain to this scene. Sometimes things from your childhood should not be revisited. They should remain simple memories that make you feel warm inside.

If there is any reason to lament the slow painful death local video stores are currently feeling, realizing that spots like these will not be produced any more is one of the strongest. Straight out of Fairbanks…

When I was in Japan during high school, I remember seeing all of these famous American actors shilling for noodle companies and appliances. Lost in Translation wasn’t far from the truth.

Kittens in Japan rock out. Not really punk though. But very cute.
