Carpe Diem... Seize the Carp?

Fishing usually requires practice and patience.
This river requires neither.



PS: if ANYONE knows where the title comes from... you are my new best friend.

I've done this many times before...

but when it's an old couple battling technology, there's something painfully adorable about it.

Japanese Marketing 201

Do you smell that?

Oh yes, that's the smell of another new, creative, crazy, confusing, and downright awesome Japanese commercials.

I recently saw this commercial on TV, and was left feeling slightly awkward, and very, very confused.



Immediately, I googled the name of the product being advertized and found the man in the commercial.
His name is TanoShingo (a combination between the Japanese word for "fun" (tanoshii) and his name "Shingo") and he is actually a full-time CHIROPRACTOR who rose to fame in Japan for all that fabulous personality.

Here's why I think Japanese advertizers are so darn creative.
They don't focus on bashing their rivals, or use clips of bad actors reviewing the product. Instead, they take an usual image and burn it into your brain, to the point where you keep seeing it, even when your eyes are closed.

This commercial does precicely that.
Does it bash it's competitors? No.
Does it have boring statistics? No.
Does it have a fabulous chiropractor dancing with children in an oversized bathroom? Check.

It may seem weird, but I did end up googling the product name, so I see this technique actually does work.

You Can Do ANYTHING

I saw this video on RWJ last week, but it's slowly going viral and I keep catching myself going back to it.

Makes me smile every time :)

A little backstory:
The little boy in the video has just succeeded in riding his bike for the first time, and decides to give a very inspirational speech.
Watch to be inspired!

The Current State of Affairs

Jimmy Kimmel has done it again. He created a spoof of Jersey Shore - with Brits this time.

I love the ending.

Daredevil Kitteh

Stealth. Focus. Accuracy.

THOSE should've been the tags on this video.

Watch this intelligent cat guess where the shell is!
... Is it bad that I lost track after the first few moves?
