Awesome Lip Dub: Suck It Shorecrest.

I don't know where Shorecrest (near a shore perhaps) but Shorewood High has created an awesome lip dub that they're not likely to top.

The actual lip dubbing is a wee bit off but once you see what's going on, I think you'll forgive it.

Awesome Parody: Dove's Evolution Devolved.



I'm not sure enough people have actually seen the Dove evolution ad for this to truly strike a comedy cord but it's amazing to think that Snooki is making an actual cultural impact. Scary.

Un-Awesome Bet: man tells friends they can shoot his tv if saints beat the redskins

i don't know why anyone would bet on the redskins beating the saints. and after seeing this, i think i'd feel safer around raider fans than country saints fans. i mean, there are guns, and then there are guuuuns!

Awesome Product: nike(red) laces





Yesterday, on the day before World AIDS Day, Bono and Nike CEO Mark Parker joined some of the world’s best soccer players to announce a partnership between Nike and (RED). The partnership invites people everywhere to “Lace Up. Save Lives” by purchasing a pair of NIKE (RED) laces at Niketown and online at Nike Store starting today. For each pair of $4 laces sold, Nike will contribute 100% of its profits to the Global Fund and to Nike’s youth-oriented football-based AIDS education programs in Africa.

In addition, Twitter users can help to spread the word and bring attention to the fight against AIDS. By using the hashtag #laceupsavelives, tweets are turned red to raise awareness and encourage others to get involved.

Awesome Marketing: lady gaga

i don't know if she came up with the lady gaga gimmick herself or if her a&r rep at the label did. but indie singer/songwriters don't get paid. so who cares if she's a sellout and is only known as a fabricated character. it's a recession. get your money stefani germanotta.

A Lesson In Awesomeness: DC Shoes vs. K-Swiss

Saw two videos from shoe companies today. The first being from DC Shoes featuring Travis Pastrana and his Shoe Bike. Awesome video. Entertaining. Something we haven't seen before. Hats off to DC Shoes.



And then there was this video from K-Swiss. This "Cheaters" video is not only lame, boring, and stupid; it makes you not want to buy their product. Challenger brands have to try harder, we get that. But the worst thing you can do is come off like you're trying too hard.

Awesome Interview: manny pacquiao on kimmel

pacquiao is probably the most level-headed champion boxing has ever seen. the fact that he remains humble and has respect for every one of his opponents makes him impossible to hate. except when he knocked out hatton before the waitress at jillian's could bring us our food.
