I never went to camp as a kid, but here's a book full of letters from kids that did: P.S. I Hate It Here

I thought of this commercial the other day. It's really old, and I only remember seeing it on one of those World's Best Commercials shows because I think it was banned or we didn't get the service where I lived. It took me a bit to find it, but here it is (it's for a pager service so that gives you a clue how old it is)...

This was done by freelance writer Alex Blagg (formerly ran Best Week Ever). I'm not sure if KFC is behind this, but if so they definitely deserve huge kudos for a nicely timed viral piece.

Note: if you haven't already seen the Double Rainbow Guy, watch that first.

I am again late to the party on this one, but this video is "intense" and worth sharing. What does it all mean? Click play and find out.

...and then you need to listen to the Kermit the Frog/Rainbow Guy musical mashup below.

The Double Rainbow Connection (Remix) by gdelahaye

Going to Austin on Monday. Apparently it has been very hot there, so getting ready to unveil my ridiculous farmer's tan. I've been promised some amazing BBQ on July 4th... expectations are high. Blog frequency is likely to decrease until July 10th.

Who knew Hamsters were such great pitchmen? Apparently David&Goliath did (Kia's Agency of Record). They are winning all types of awards for this and deservedly so.

(thanks @picked_ginger for the find on this one)

So I was on the old StumbleUpon earlier, and came across this article about the opening of Knight and Day in Seville, Spain (a city which I visited earlier this year and loved - awesome place). Anyway, it struck me that Tom Cruise was looking very tall next to his wife (or at least equally tall). I remember seeing her tower over him... then I saw his shoes.

Either he just experienced a tremendous growth spurt and simultaneous horrific case of claw foot, or he's wearing some cleverly disguised heels. Nicely played Cruise.

Staying with the shark theme. This is an old one, but still hilarious.

So far I haven't done anything like this yet, although I often catch myself humming, whistling, or strutting (ya - that's right) to the iPod music that only I can hear. I suppose it's only a matter of time until the farts follow.
