How To Be Alone
I’m posting this here, almost as a reminder to myself…
You NEED to watch this.

Superbowl Ads 2010
There are some of us who would loathe having to sit through an entire football match, yet will watch 60 TV commercials in a row.
For the rest of you, I’ve picked some of the best. If you’re only going to watch two, watch the first and last ones.
(Shamelessly stole this idea from Bluthan…)
Starting with Google’s incredible ad. It’s pretty minimalistic, and yet manages to be so powerful it gives me shivers.

Almost a year in the making! Enjoy!
My favourite song, today – Best Music Video Ever Edition
One more awesome Avalanches music video after the jump:
Idiotic.
… yet mesmerizing.
The Most Interesting Man In The World
… is my role model.
It’s an brilliant concept because it harnesses the addictive formula of Chuck Norris facts to highlight charm, rather than bad-assery (yes, that is a word).
I totally want to be this guy!
I was saving this post for a rainy day, but everybody else seems to have suddenly decided to post these, forcing me to do so too, while they’re still relatively fresh. For your viewing pleasure, I’ve gathered the rest of the ads after the jump:
Things that renew my faith in humanity #32 – There she is
Remember this flash animation?
I first saw it a few years back –its adorable story and stellar production values made it especially rare and all the more impressive, at the time. Of course, like most internet memes, after listening to the song obsessively for a couple days, I completely forgot about it.
Until a few weeks ago, that is, when I realised that, in the meantime, three more videos had been released (I had seen the cake dance already), transforming what was once a quirky short film into an epic love saga. See for yourselves!
Other things that also renew my faith in humanity:
Things that renew my faith in humanity #117
This is fantastic!

I’ve never envied people whose job it is to advertise water.
After all, there are few things more mundane than water. I mean… it’s water! It’s clear and has no taste. Not to mention, you don’t have to try much to convince us to drink it. If we don’t, we die.
As a result, water advertisements always end up overcompensating, by depicting shapely female nymphs showering in perfect waterfalls (are you saying that’s were your water comes from? because that wouldn’t be very hygienic…), or just blowing its effects way out of proportion (warning: contains creepy rollerblading babies).
