Don't get fooled by cheaty valet tactics

Watch this investigative piece on how valet attendants use fake signs and park your car in illegal zones (they trash the ticket and don't even tell you) among other retard strategies, glad I don't have to deal with this in La Jolla

Good Advertising

always liked companies that spent the extra effort to make their products stand out with packaging and clever commercials. in this case a really well cut trailer for 'where the wild things are' has suddenly made it one of my must see movies. i think i've read the book as a kid, but i really don't remember. the production and style of the movie looks very promising and stays true to some of the original elements. too bad embedding has been disabled but here you go:

another one is for the new halo 3 odst game, which even though i don't have an xbox360 has kind of made me a fan of halo. very well done and lots of money put into the marketing machine utilizing live action. the old halo3 commercials were very good as well, really liked their motto 'finish the fight'



and here's one more bit of advertising that's more of the clever side: dog food advertising with nutri balance... give your dog bad food, prepare to get stabbed in the back

birds are secretly composers

The story goes this guy saw a picture of birds sitting on electrical wires in a newspaper, so he got the idea of turning the birds into notes and wanted to see what song they were composing. The author says the photo is unedited, and it's a pretty nice piece of creativity
