Don't eat the yellow snow

D.I.Y.

Bye bye user generated craptent

I hope we can say goodbye to "upload-your-own-movie"-campaigns in 2009.

Like this one from One Second.

Merry x-mas and a happy 2010!

BS

I'm sure I've seen some of this BS in many powerpoints...click here.

I know what you did last weekend...

Less is more

Of which tv-serie could this be the minimalistic poster?

The answer and more great posters by art director Albert Exergian here.

Wave

Kind of what it feels like to me at this moment...not yet the tsunami "they" are projecting.

What's Google thinking about?

If you play around with Google's autocomplete, you'll find some very funny results.


Some good one on this site.

Rickshaw

Sad day today...this weekend the 2CV's of the Touareg Trail finished in Benin. Sad because I was supposed to be there, having driven 9000 kilometers through Africa.

But fuck Touareg Trail...I just found something better!

Behold this http://rickshawchallenge.com/.









India here I come again? :-)





Kudos to Marlies for the link.

Question mark?

QB TED edit from Mike Paterson on Vimeo.

I don't know what to say...is this genius or not? The big green button seems so inviting, almost hypnotizing.

Waist some time on...

New car

I need a new car.

I really want to buy an electric one like the Prius or the C-zero, but I'm still struggling with the fact that electricity is still made in factories which run on fossil fuel. And to be honest I don't like the feeling of the Prius. It's a very "plastic" car with not much of a soul.

Who can give me the closing argument?

Or should I go for this one?

And superb quality!

If I would be selling digital TV, I would be very afraid...

Pay Pal

Give this guy a job in advertising! He just made the new viral campaign for Pay Pal.

And he taps into a global audience. Begging 2.0?

No wonder there are 2 I's in crisis...

"Hello I’m your bank manager.
I haven’t seen you since the
nineties when I shut the branch
and told you to talk to the ATM
instead.
Let me tell you what I’ve been
doing since then.
I’ve taken your money and
invested it in some house
scheme in America I didn’t really
understand.
The result is that my bank has
lost most of its capital.
So now I need more of your
money.
I promise you it’ll be really safe.
And I guarantee I’ll invest it really
smartly.
Banks have a credibility problem
and it isn’t going away any time
soon.
After this one, the world’s savers may never trust a bank
again.
Recessions act as a broom, brushing out the old and
making space for new ideas in the world.
Nothing returns to normal afterwards.
And the biggest mistake most companies make is not
in failing to cut costs fast enough.
It is to assume that after the recession, it’s going to be
business as usual."

It are truly interesting times here in advertising country...

Craigslist: "We pay zero attention to brand. We never use the word internally. We do zero advertising. We don't have a logo. We've never done a focus group. We don't care about any of that. And now we're told we have the strongest brand ever for a company our size. That's pretty ironic."

Sell the vatican

A simple idea to solve a big problem by Sarah Silverman.

And imagine have ALL the pussy...Amen!

Interview project

Interesting project by David Lynch! Why are these stories so addictive to hear? Presumably because they are genuine and authentic and told by real people.

Is this a new version of the old skool road movie, a new human interest format, a webisode,...or just an example of the convergence of media and formats? I don't know the answer but it sure works for me!

Rock Balancing

I know the perfect beach for some serious rock balancing...

I wish to register a complaint

Reminds me of the dead parrot sketch of Monty Python...of which this must be the strangest version I ever saw!

Pinch the crab

Long tail example...posted on the Big Tube on June 30 (by Gilthecrab??!!??), 2006 and still getting positive comments. And I didn't know crabs have a Mexican accent...

Hat tip to 100% katoen.

Divine inspiration

Sometimes reality is better than fiction and you almost have to believe there is a higher force...

Go to jail

Yeeeeaaaaah! Proud owner of "Het Zuid" in Antwerp! Den Hopper is mine :-)

10 years after the Nokia Game, this seems to be the real Global Online Game! Launched yesterday and the servers are red hot, lagging everywhere, blogs and forums overloaded with comments...But I (professionally...) wasted my completed morning on buying streets in my beloved Antwerp. Fascinating to see how quickly the streets were being bought by the gamers in a matter of hours.

Simple idea: combine Monopoly and Google maps and play it live across the planet. The world as a board game!

So...make me an offer I can't refuse for some damn fine virtual real estate in Antwerp...

CP+B

It looks like great fun being an intern at CP+B. Check out there new beta site or Alex Bogusky's twitter account.

Game over

Not so new but man, I can't even imagine how many hours I used to play all these games...
Centipede, Frogger, Space invaders, Astroids, Pac-man,...


A cool stopmotion by PES.

Unstoppable

One man CAN change the world...

There are heaps more clips of the same guy dancing on the festival. Watch them also and listen to the off screen comments people make.

Are you gonna be unstoppable today?

Still on Twitter?

New media formats on the horizon! Seems like Twitter is the glue for it. I've been thinking a lot about how to develop formats for the "new screens".

This looks like a good start playing around with different platforms...coming from Hollywood so they must smell money!

Check out Ben Stiller on Twitter.

Guess the password

Hacking can't be that difficult, can it? We already got the list with passwords now...if you can guess them!

Macro blogging

Some say that 140 is the new 69...but others just need more! Well why don't you try Woofer! Here you have to use a MINIMUM of 1400 characters!! This puts the term "micro-blogging" into perspective...

More furry animals...they seem to be hot at the moment.

A new star is born

A new meme in the making...overnight success for Crasher Squirrel!!

Wicked sick BMX

The power of copywriting...

140

Sometimes 140 characters is enough to make a connection. So why not put your cv on twitter? I did...less is more!! Click here to see the new way of applying for a job.

Will this get me a job? Find out on the next episode of Cut The Crab.

Congrats to Boondoggle! Not only for winning the 5 "gold" Lions but also for putting things in perspective...

Aaaaahhh...remembers me of better times!

Tour de Dance

This is ballet on bikes. Enjoy!

Comfort wipe

I thought this was a joke, but the product actually exists...and viewed by over 1 million times on YouTube. Are that many people having problems with wiping their ass?

Test drive for bras

MLF

In times when men want to be men, this label makes a difference... Maybe not subtle enough but hey, where your sense of humour...

Some people take mobile internet very literally...

Computer says no

Not much blogging going on lately...sorry! I still love all of you out there. You are my friend...

Binocular football

What a great idea! LMAO!!

Imagine all the other sports you could do...binocular ping-pong, binocular rugby, binocular snooker...

But when do you stop when doing a 100m binocular sprint??? I'm already thinking of the binocular Olympic Games!

Putting things in perspective...

So Antwerp isn't the center of the Universe????

Ze is back!

I'm so glad Ze is doing his thing again! Check out his YouTube channel for more clips.

Touareg Trail

The decision is made! Just enrolled for the Touareg Trail. One month of adventures in Africa, 9000 km in a 2CV through Morocco, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Benin.

It's also about helping people who really need it. The rally sponsors real and mainly small, local projects in Africa. Every team can choose their own project. At this moment I've got a school project in Benin on my list, but I'm still looking for more projects to sponsor in the countries I mentioned above.

I'm also looking for brands to sponsor the expedition. It'll be a very campaignable project for brands with a heart.

Drop me a note if you have any suggestions.

This used to be a bed & breakfast run by a Belgian couple but now is deserted. A bit spooky...

AudioBoo

Something to keep an eye on...audio blogging/twittering. This one's Stephen Fry's.

Proximus customers are ugly!

...according to their own advertising agency!

This is the clip with plenty of young girls, but they aren't hot enough for the advertising company...

Why bother going user generated then? Real people look like this...





(Agency takes a piss at his client, by actually stating that Proximus customers are ugly...)

C'est bon pour le moral!

Touareg trail

I just might have found a new project...:-)

So Hungry Jack's is actually Burger King down under...Nobody told me, I didn't get the memo! I could have eaten 5 Whoppers instead of only the one I had yesterday...

Holeproof

Well they better be! What's the point of underwear when there not hole proof? I mean, come on...

Travel day

Byron Bay - Gold Coast - Sydney

WTF?

This happens when you have brainstorms with too much weed: "yeah dude, let's call it Golden Gaytime..."

Sunset

Holy Ground

Turns out that the factory of Wicked Weasel is right here around the corner in Byron Bay. I even had a peep at the sewing machines...

Slap the goon

Established in the Summer of 05/06 Byron Bay.. Australia

'Goon' - An Australian term referring to affordable wine, cask wine or boxed wine. Usually housed in a Silver 'bladder'. (Sauce of the Silver Sun)

STG started from our experiences watching those around us having carefree, loose, but fun times. Whether it's a hard week at uni or work, a weekend surfing or on the backpacker trail, one common denominator is cask wine, also known as 'Goon'. Crew get around the table, share stories and have a good laugh.

Slap the Goon is about connecting people and bringing them together in ways that create good times and great memories.

That's what it's all about, no more, no less.

We decided to play tribute to the 'goon' and its merry ways with our Classic Tee. We now bring you many more designs and our own range of Cask Wine.

So 'Join the Revolution', tell your friends and 'Let the Goon Times Roll'.

More info on this site.

Big prawn

As seen on Big Things Australia...also saw the Big Banana, the Big Axe and the Big Goon.
