This amazing video showing the vendorclient relationship in real world situations comes out of Indianapolis from http://www.scofieldedit.com/

Amazingly accurate

What if a big corporation designed the stop sign?

This is a perfect rendition of what can happen with committees, poor client direction, and an overall lack of leadership. I have been in fair share of meetings that make me want to shout “focus!”. Although hilarious it should inspire you to stay on target in your next “brainstorm” meeting.

Weezer mashes up every Internet meme – will it blend?

Eric Friedman — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 21:58:26 +0000

Weezer has come out with a video (embedding disabled but the video already has 6MM views) that mashes up some of the best Internet meme’s over the past few years. Including but not limited to Tay Zonday, Numa Numa, the dramatic chipmunk, and many more. Source: Diving Bored

Checkout the Weezer Pork and Beans Video

For more info Wired has an interview with the director of the video Mathew Cullen.

I am still not sure why they do not allow embeds – almost seems hypocritical to the way in which many of the meme stars in this video got started. You can keep watching the Weezer channel for more content in coming weeks.

Louis Vuitton – First TV Ad

Eric Friedman — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 12:04:18 +0000

Louis Vuitton put up what I believe is their first video ad called Louis Vuitton Journeys (embedded below – feed readers click through to view)

The overall message is “Where will life take you?” along with many other cliché lines like the ones from the end of the video shown below…

Does the person create the journey or does the journey create the person? The journey is life itself. Where will life take you?. Louis Vuitton.

I understand what they were trying to do with this ad, getting back to basics, trying to connect with the “traveler”, as well as perhaps reintroduce the LV brand – but it just does not seem to work for me.

It brings to mind another commercial with a similar tone…the Zoolander commercial.

Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty.
