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 Video: ataque de pánico!

i would've named it Cinco de Mayo: Mexican Independence Day

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.

pacquiao/cotto - nov 14!!!

Awesome Rip-Off: Awesome or Tight?

Well, not an actual rip-off but we did consider doing something else, like a video or a song with the word "awesome" in it but we haven't gotten around to it yet. Stay tuned. In the meantime, check this out awesome/tight thing.

Side-note: Bobby Moniyhan? A dead-ringer for Kevin Smith in this?
