I seem to be on an accidents kick. This one demonstrates a nice car flip, but frankly since I don’t speak German, I’m not too sure what it is all about — but visually it is cool.

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I have the worst time sitting through horror films. Even though I know the films are fake, for some reason, I get all riled up and cannot stop from screaming during the scary parts. So when a friend passed this link to me, I had no idea how gory it was going to be – I mean, hey, it is a PSA from Canada about workplace safety, right? These series on YouTube are delightfully gross, and remind me of Evil Dead as well as this German safety video I posted up here earlier this year.

The somewhat disturbing “viewable from space” KFC logo, was not the first logo to be viewable from space, despite what the press is saying. In fact the very first logo viewable from space is in Australia.
But this time lapse video of the making of the large-enough-to-view-from-space KFC video is pretty interesting nonetheless.

Proof that some wildly creative ideas would never get made if we had to use focus groups to approve the concepts.
Here’s the original spot from 1984:

Well, Gorilla Tuesday, to be more precise.
Cadbury Chocolates has come up with a completely random, “what does this have to do with chocolate anyways” film of a Gorilla drumming away to Phil Collins.
The campaign only launched a few days ago, but already there are a couple interesting remixes, proving that music can really set the tone for the video you are watching.
Here’s the same video footage using Total Eclipse of the Heart as the soundtrack:
And here is another remixed with A Skillz:
Expect to see more fun with the drumming gorilla on YouTube.

Ah Williamsburg. Ah hipsters. Kind of funny. Kind of not. The sports-like motion graphics are my favorite part of this long parody.

Graffiti Research Labs (GRL) did a clever hack and turned those crazy plasma displays at subway stations into signs that say “NYC’s TRUE GRAFFITI PROBLEM,” “ADVERTISING = GRAFFITI” and simply “GRAFFITI.”

From Microsoft Advertising Solutions, comes a little story about the relationship between a “traditional” advertiser and the consumer, on the verge of a break up. It showcases in a very funny way the current growing pains of the advertising industry.
