The 4 Greatest Chords in Music

I was asked if my earlier post was founf on the Viral Video Chart, to be honest it wasn't. I thought I should check out the chart none-the-less. You should too - loads of great videos. My favourite is number 17, this is awesome!

Durex Balloon Animals

I hope it's not just me, but this is absolutely hilarious. Something about balloon animals in this situation just put me in histerics.

Durex have taken a couple of non-descript balloon animals, obviously made with Durex, and put together a few kama-sutric examples of the birds and bees favourite passtime.

Creative Director, Robert Rugan, dubbed the video kama-balloon-animal-sutra. sating, "When you get the chance to create 'kama-balloon-animal-sutra', everyone involved gets really stoked about pushing the boundaries as much as possible". Director Michael Wharton added, "It's a rare opportunity to actually get to work on a project that is so raw and speaks directly to the very core of the human psyche ... I mean, who doesn't like balloon animals?!"

This really is a great ad, and the tag line...... "Get it on". Fitzgerald+CO, the agency behind the ad, have really done something special here. I definitely think this has staying power.

Welcome Humans

I found this nice easter egg for Firefox 3 and thought it worth sharing. Type 'about:robots' into the address bar. Fun times.

Looking for Meerkats?

I thought everyone would have seen this but when I brought it up during a conversation at ldinner last night and I was responded to with three blank faces I thought perhaps this still needs to be shared. So, for all you nice people who don't know where to compare meerkats, check it out...

The Worth of Sponsorship

I'm not sure off hand what the total cost was for O2 to sponsor 'The Point', but I'm fairly sure that if I'd paid whatever it was, I'd want my giant O2 logo lit up all the time.

O2 would apparently disagree. Lights out for The O2 tonight!


p.s. Pardon my poor photograph - my tripod isn't in work today
