Jesus Camp
by: Stuart

A friend had this in a Twitter post so I looked it up. I had never heard of Jesus Camp (the movie) until now.

It reminds me of the Borat clip that I posted a while back.

It’s old news but new to me. I’m just catching up to 2006 news.

It has been shut down since the documentary came out, which is not a surprise.

Here is another article in the Seattle Times.

Ding Fries Are Done & Family Guy Version | 2006
by: Stuart

This post get hit every year since posted right before Christmas.

The only way you could have NOT seen this flash is if you only just now signed onto the internet. This is the best viral piece Burger King never did. It was funny then and it still cracks me up.

Viral is not even a solid term for this. When something is turned into a clip on Family Guy, that is mass viral.

Think of it, some guy makes a funny clip years ago and tonight it shows up on T.V. in cartoon format.

Click on the image to see the now famous flash.

Sure FG is 90% pop-culture spins but Peter doing the BK guy cracked me up.

Kanye West on SNL (again), Bad Bad Performance
by: Stuart

Not only was it bad, he is getting bashed for it.

I watch that SNL, it was a disaster. Here is a recent POV from yahoo music:

Kanye West is well-known for two things: his awesome rapping and his arrogance. The guy’s music is so intensely good it (almost) justifies his God complex. Every time the rapper gets onstage at some awards show and accepts one statue by claiming he should have won another one, we usually have to agree. West has encouraged us to expect such a superhuman level of perfection from him, it was inevitable he would one day not be able to meet it.

Man vs. Food | Atomic Wings
by: Stuart

I have been snowed in for about a week and watching a bunch of television, Comcast might bite it any minute.

Seattle has the worst snow storm in 10 years, so they say. Kansas City snow kills this but with all the hills and with people that are not familiar with snow driving…it’s a mess.

I was watching the Travel Channel - Man Vs. Food and they had the hottest wings in the country, which sounded good to me at the time. Adam Richman was able to meet the task.

Check it out. If you have a hotter recipe, need to spice up the winter, comment on something that can warm the belly.

If you are in the area, check out the hottest wings: http://www.lubewings.com/

Need some sauce to test your chops: Quaker steak and lube atomic wing sauce

Greg The Millionaire | Secret Millionaire
by: Stuart

I have only seen a couple of these shows on FOX but they have made me cry each time. I’m a push over for emotional stuff that involves decent people that try hard to make it.

The clip is long and it cover 3 people that Greg helps out. I hope he continues with helping beyond the Fox show.

Life has a funny way of playing complicated and distracting POVs on you and things like this clip should help everyone understand how lucky they are and how much they can help others.

Flickr Video Emebbed Tag
by: Stuart

I’m really liking what Flickr/Yahoo are doing with the digital assets you already have on there. The direct blog posting from an image, the embed video code…just smart and very useful.

BTW- this is just a silly quick video of things I have worked on over the years as a test file.

XBOX360 In Your Head Part 3
by: Stuart

Here is another commercial from XBOX360 that I think is very cool. It’s the same concept as the last 2 posted here on DHADM but different person.

Here are the other 2 posts:

XBOX 360 Live | Open Head
XBOX360 | In Your Head 2

Top Gear | Self Driving BMW 330i
by: Stuart

Here is the BMW 330i self driving, GPS directed car is featured on Top Gear.

It looks amazingly accurate.

The feeling of letting the car drive must be nerve racking.

Speaking of BMW, check out a previous post on the BMW GINA Light Visionary Model - A True Flex Car

XBOX360 | In Your Head 2
by: Stuart

Here is another one of the XBOX360 ads that I mentioned in a previous post.

Interestingly enough, one of my sons saw this commercial during the Office tonight and said "these commercials are worthless…" which makes me wonder who the target is or who is supposed to respond to the commercials. Why do I like them and he doesn’t? Does it really matter?

It certainly won’t make him stop play XBOX360 and will not stop me from getting games for the console, so it’s more of a creative difference. I only bring it up because he mentioned it without prompting, just an idle comment while watching TV together.

I still like the style and the in-your-head theme, so I’m sticking with my previous POV and think they are an interesting approach.
