Super high me

Bubba

Bubba was bragging to his boss one day, "You know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them." Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, "OK, Bubba how about Tom Cruise?"

"Sure, yes, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it. " So Bubba and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door, and sure enough, Tom Cruise shouts, "Bubba! Great to see you! You and your friend come right in and join me for lunch!"

Although impressed, Bubba's boss is still skeptical. After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Bubba that he thinks Bubba's knowing Cruise was just lucky. "No, no, just name anyone else," Bubba says.

"President Clinton," his boss quickly retorts. "Yes," Bubba says, "I know him, let's fly out to Washington."

And off they go. At the White House, Clinton spots Bubba on the tour and motions him and his boss over, saying, "Bubba, what a surprise, I was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let's have a cup of coffee first and catch up."

Well, the boss is very shaken by now, but still not totally convinced. After they leave the White house grounds, he expresses his doubts to Bubba, who again implores him to name anyone else.

"The Pope," his boss replies. "Sure!" says Bubba. "My folks are from Poland, and
I've known the Pope a long time." So off they fly to Rome. Bubba and his boss are assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when Bubba says, "This will never work. I can't catch the Pope's eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards so let me just go upstairs and I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope." And he disappears into the crowd headed toward the Vatican.

Sure enough, half an hour later Bubba emerges with the Pope on the balcony. But by the time Bubba returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics.

Working his way to his boss' side, Bubba asks him, "What happened?"

His boss looks up and says, "I was doing fine until you and the Pope came out on the balcony and the man next to me said, "Who's that on the balcony with Bubba?"

One Small Step for Mr. Armstrong...One Giant Leap for Mr. Gorsky

This story is becoming somewhat of an Urban Legend. I recently received an e-mail from someone who says it is not a true story...Then again if you watched Tom Hank's "From the Earth to the Moon" on HBO you can clearly hear the actor that portrays Mr. Armstrong say the "Gorsky" line. Whether it's true or not...It's a great story.

When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he not only gave his famous "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" statement but followed it by several remarks, usual com traffic between him, the other astronauts and Mission Control. Just before he re- entered the lander, however, he made the enigmatic remark "Good luck Mr. Gorsky."

Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet Cosmonaut. However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs. Over the years many people questioned Armstrong as to what the "Good luck Mr. Gorsky" statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled.

Just last year, (on July 5, 1995 in Tampa Bay FL) while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year old question to Armstrong. This time he finally responded. Mr. Gorsky had finally died and so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question. When he was a kid, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. His friend hit a fly ball which landed in the front of his neighbor's bedroom windows. His neighbors were Mr. & Mrs. Gorsky. As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky. "Oral sex! You want oral sex?! You'll get oral sex when that Armstrong kid walks on the moon!"

"The Sleeping Beauty" - The Original Pre-Classicism Fairytale

An introduction to the original fairytale:

In 1697, a French author named Charles Perrault published a classic book titled Tales of Times Passed. In our time the book is better known under its later name "Mother Goose Tales". It contains eight tales of which seven has become classics for children and it's likely that you know most of these "The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood" - "Little Red Riding Hood" - "Blue Beard" - "The Master Cat or Puss in Boots" - "Diamonds and Toads" and Cinderella.

Charles Perrault was not the original author of any of these stories. They were rewritten editions of stories going back through history and had been passed from mouth to mouth, and these stories were actually very cruel in their original form. Charles Perrault just cleaned them up and let everybody live happily ever after in them. The earliest known written version of Sleeping Beauty was actually published 61 years earlier by an Italian named Giambattista Basile.

Here is how the story was originally told:

A great king was forewarned by some wise (old?) men that his newborn daughter named Talia was in great danger. It seems that a poison splinter was in the palace's flax, and it would destroy her. The king immediately ordered a ban on flax inside the palace walls.

But, as all great fairy tales go, Talia somehow encountered a flax-spinning wheel and got that nasty splinter in her finger. What happened? Talia dropped dead. As a result, King Dad placed his daughter's body on a velvet cloth, locked the palace gates, and left the forrest forever and ever.

Enter the great nobleman, who turned out not to be so noble. While hunting in the woods one day, he just happened to stumble on the abandoned palace and Talia's dead body. One would think he kissed her at this point, but no such thing happened. Instead, he raped her.

He planted the noble seed and nine months later Talia gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Their names were Sun and Moon (which is the boy and which is the girl?) and the fairies took care of them. One day, the boy was sucking on mom's finger and sucked out the poisonous flax splinter. Talia awoke from her death bed.

Many months go by and the horny young nobleman returns to the woods to have another encounter with the princess. To his surprise, he found her alive and well. He confesses that he is the father of her children and they enjoy a hot weekend fling in the hay

The nobleman then returns home to his wife. Somehow she learns about his illegitimate children. The wife orders the capture of the children. Her cook is then told to slash their young throats and to cook a hash with their flesh. At dinner that night, the wife gleefully watches her husband eat his meal. When he has finished, she announces "You are eating what is your own!".

We can be sure that the nobleman did not feel too well at that moment. But then, he did rape a dead woman, so he deserves a little suffering. But all fairy tales must have a happy ending, so check out this one:

It turns out that the cook had a soft heart and never slaughtered the children. Instead, goat meat was substituted. The enraged wife ordered the capture of Talia and that she be burned at the stake. But she was saved from death by her rapist and they lived happily ever after.

Sun tattoos anyone?

The next time you tan, why not grab a Sun Tattoo and put those UV rays into good use.The soft stenciled patterns allows sun to hit only certain areas on your body. Bake long enough and you’ve got yourself a very unique tan.

Of course I can’t endorse tanning since for the most part is dangerous but if you’re one whom can’t stay away from the sun and have a wild flair for the unusual, you might like this.

Images of the day

Normal day at the office..

Imagine this;

your balls are already up to your eyes with work and datelines, your boss is LITERALLY breathing down your neck demanding for work way past its due date. And to add to the damage, the air-con broke down yesterday and todays temperature is way up to a high forty..

suddenly..

you hear a voice from the next cubicle happily talking into the phone, laughing, singing out loud..well, basically, grating your already frayed nerves to shreds..

total pwnage..kinda reminds me of this..heheh..

Empire Strikes Back Original Uncut Ending

Suggestions for secret sleeping at work

Make it to looks like you have to tie your shoes.Put your head on your desk and with both hands hold your shoelaces.

Choose a cabinet in the office that opens rarely. Move the content of it in one side - on the left or on the right.This is very useful for longer breaks.

Put one big ladger underneath your chin.
Advantage: you can keep your regular working position and stay unobtrusive.
Disadvantage: all your collegues that you share the office with, must be in front of you with turned their back on you.

Use some make up and draw eyes on your eye-lid. First use some white colour and after that draw a pupil with an eyeliner and shadow.Fake hairs will simulate an open eye.

Sit on the toilet with your head on the toilet tank and relax. Use a role of toilet paper like a holder for your head. Important: you have to hold a set of keys in your hand, wich will drop on the floor and wake you up when you fall a deep sleep.

Don't put your head back, but move it forward to the toilet door. To prevent making an unpleasant red circle on your forehead, put a role of a toilet paper between your head and the toilet door.

If your working place can't be seen directly from the entering door, just lay and relax under your desk. Before that, put your jacket on the chair to look like you are at the work but at that moment out of the office.

Get nervous infront of everyone because there is no more paper in the copy machine. Open the machine and put your head inside. Caution: carbonite dust causes cancer.

A perfect position for a nap: print some important documents and put your hand between your desk and your head, so the papers are in the area of your eyesight. Caution: every five minute turn another page.

Don't Mess With The Zohan..

Hehe..
in another attempt to turn social satire on its head, Adam Sandler came up with this extreme stereotypical posse of characters against a comedic (almost believable) situations that places this movie amongst flicks usually under-appreciated by fanatics and bureaucratics..heheh..don't let the eloquence keep you away from this gem..a must see for 2008..

Any good comebacks Bono?

Bono, lead singer of the rock band U2, is famous throughout the entertainment industry for being more than just a little self-righteous.

At a recent U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland, he asked the audience for total quiet.

Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands, once every few seconds. Holding the audience in total silence, he said into the microphone, 'Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.'

From the front of the crowd a voice with a broad Scottish accent pierced the quiet ...

'Well, fuckin stop doin it then, ya evil bastard!'

Norton Antivirus

How do you turn a boring old product into a viral ad? If in doubt, do it like the Japanese. Don't you just love Japan. The land of weird telco TVCs, public display of music enthusiasm, unbelievable pranks and many other mindboggling and yet endearing antics.

Here's a view on how they marketed Norton Antivirus..





Are you a believer in Japanese "can do it all attitude" yet?

chain mail..the modern version

Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Don't be afraid to express yourself.
Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.
Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late.
Seize the day. Never have regrets.
And most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they
have helped make you the person that you are today.

2 girl body: Daft Punk - Harder Better Faster Stronger

Weird japanese telco TVC

This advert is pictured in the dictionary next to the entry for 'abstract', and it's also cross-referenced in the entry for 'crap'. The story is as follows. Two Japanese cowboys are suspiciously lurking around in a desert for reasons that are unclear, but seems to be the result of a tip-off from someone called Eric. They discover a gigantic jellyfish, and drag it back to their trendy loft apartment. Wait a minute..they have cowboys in Japan?

Well..whatever..

Once home, they feed it some booze, and it dances like a wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tubeman. And that's it. We would wager anyone who doesn't know what '3' is would really struggle to work out what that advert is for. Believe it or not, 3 is a mobile phone network, so that explains the, erm, well nothing. It doesn't really explain anything.

Any campaign that improves the reputation of octopuses to children is a great campaign in our opinion, because we think they're a grossly underrated sea creature. (And to think -- every re-airing of The Little Mermaid will undo all this fine work.) On the other hand, these might just freak people out and get them all sketchy about touching textured Coke bottles.

In Romania, They Still Send Snail Mail

Find more videos like this on AdGabber

After viewing this commercial for Romania's Post Office, we feel the need to go hand write a nice, long, heartfelt letter to the old college girlfriend telling her how much we still love her and how we wish...OK...so that'll never happen but after watching this Tempo Advertising-created ad, you just might want to. Who knew writing a letter was such a big deal.

Who needs to pick up a pen when we've got email, IM and text? I mean writing an actual letter sounds like actual work! No one likes to work that hard any more. After all, we're living in an Idiocracy where everything's been so dumbed down beauty pageant contestants can't even string together a few sentences into a coherent statement. Parents pose online as teens to snoop into the lives of their children with not so great results. Good grades are rewarded with...a Happy Meal? WTF?

Oh wait, what were we talking about? Oh yea, a Romania Post Office commercial. It's good. Give it a watch. You might feel like writing a letter and actually make use of those words you last saw on your SPM test.

Girl Bounces For Chocolate..

This commercial for a Japanese candy is more than a year old but it is so ridiculous we just have to share it with you. It's a pretty well known fact men (well, the straight ones at least) across the globe find it very pleasing to look at a pretty woman with big breasts wearing nothing but sexy underwear and a tiny bra. Even more so if the lady decides to jump up and down while bouncing uncontrollably in that tiny bra.

There's plenty of private and public places where a man can view this sort of activity but a television commercial isn't usually one of them. Unless you live in Japan where men have no problem dressing a girl in nothing but her red underwear and instructing her to jump up and down in front of the camera while shouting something about the product. The fact what she's yelling will, for English speaking folks, sound like she's yelling "jerk off" is just further icing on the odd ridiculousness of the thing.

So watch. Listen to what she tells you. And then decide for yourselves what you'll do next.

Fight For Kisses

Time with Vodafone

Here's a Vodafone ad by Leo Burnett, Hong Kong. The premise is that Vodafone can turn our accumulated in-between time into something truly meaningful.

We're pleased to say the ad itself surprised us. Not in that ostentatious way where you're like, "Hey, I thought there was sex involved but it was just somebody getting tattoed" or "Hey, I never would have guessed that sex scene was going to devolve into a slapstick comedy about sensitive teeth!"

It's not about sex at all. And despite its length, and despite the fact that Vodafone's a little fuzzy about how it's going to turn our limbo moments into something meaningful, we found it a worthwhile watch for purely aesthetic reasons.

sony bravia

i would't pretend to understand what the thoughts behind these ads are, but, i was really in awe when they came out..love 'em or loathe 'em, they created buzz to generate the word of mouth advertising that even further generated interest in these ads..that is advertising my friends..we can all bullshit about the strategies, demo and psycho graphics, focus groups and virals..but what really make people tick are the attraction of these simple ads..man, will I ever know what the hell i'm doing in advertising..but i sure am learning..

New Guinness ad - only previously available to those who solved the puzzles on the Guinness website!

The final sequence used 6,000 dominoes, 10,000 books, 400 tires, 75 mirrors, 50 fridges, 45 wardrobes and 6 cars. The chain wound from inside a darkened room, out a window, down and across any number of streets, and at one point involved bales of flaming hay. The grand finale was that of a giant glass of Guinness, whose foam was made up of open books.

They did it for the advertising. For the purpose, Guinness hired the same director who once filmed 250,000 superballs bouncing down a San Francisco hillside for Sony. That ad on the bay only took a few takes, because superballs don’t need acting coaches. Here in Argentina, a full twenty-four hours of film was shot for a final cut that lasts a minute and a half.

It cost $10 million. That’s a lot of money anywhere, but especially in a country where the average monthly income clocks in at around $200. No one has said how much the villagers were paid.

(Another) Blonde Joke

A few days ago I was having some work done at my local garage. A blonde came in and asked for a seven-hundred-ten.

We all looked at each other and another customer asked, 'What is a seven-hundred-ten?'

She replied, 'You know, the little piece in the middle of the engine, I have lost it and need a new one..'

She replied that she did not know exactly what it was, but this piece had always been there.

The mechanic gave her a piece of paper and a pen and asked her to draw what the piece looked like.

She drew a circle and in the middle of it wrote 710. He then took her over to another car which had its hood up and asked 'is there a 710 on this car?'

She pointed and said, 'Of course, its right there.'

cool mug shot

Here's one to help get you going in the morning. The On Off Mug is coated with a heat sensitive pigment that turns the mug from black to white as it gets hot. Without any liquid in it, the mug looks black and says "off" on it. Pour in your morning beverage and it'll gradually turn white and read "on." Maybe marveling over this simple color changing pleasure will help you wake up.
