Spoof of google’s Parisian Love

Google’s ad was definitely among the best on yesterday’s superbowl. Didn’t take long for people to spoof it. If you YouTube it, you’ll find a few of them already. Here’s one:

And the original:

The Auto-tune on Superbowl

I never get tired of the auto-tune…. once tried to sell our CD on a spot with talking cows…i mean: auto-tuned talking cows. The CD did not really know what that was. Sadness……

Anyways, here it is, the bud light version:

An Apple ad, before Apple ads

im speechles…

Kobe V X Bruce Lee posters

The new kobe V’s are a lot more slicker looking than the IV’s. Which is nice. They call it lo-tops, but like its predecessor, they are almost a mid-top. Not quite like a lo-profile soccer boot (which they claim they got the inspiration from). Anyways, the Bruce Lee colorway is dope, and it comes with these funny posters. All inspired by Bruce Lee’s original film posters. Good idea.

shoes flashback: Nike Air Kukini

Remember this? I think it came out around 2000/01 (at least, that’s when I got a pair). It was an AMAZING shoe. Super light, no need to tie laces. You’d just slip it on, and be ready to go. I really like the colors too. I had the blue one (see pic below). It’s on the top of my fave shoes, pretty close to the original Presto. I miss the cool slip-ons shoes (that arent Vans ,or laceless Chucks).

Mia Doi – Open Your Heart by Michel Gondry

Some Michel Gondry magic. Mia Doi’s track is pretty nice too. Very Bossa Novaish. It kinda feels like an ad for Uniqlo…

The New Reais – Brazil is changing their money… again…

So the BC (Banco Central or something like Central Bank), just released images of the new Reais. They are keeping tradition with the past brazilian paper money, and are colored (brazilian people like the colorful stuff), but now, they each have a different size, related to their value (so the smaller ones have less value than the bigger one), which was made in order to help visually impaired people to distinguish the money.

Brazil has had so many different currencies throughout the years. The first one was actually called Real as well (but the plural at that time would be Réis, instead of the current Reais. I guess we were still more grammatically tied to the original Portuguese grammar). Then we had the Cruzeiro, Cruzeiro Novo, Cruzeiro again, Cruzado, Cruzado Novo, Cruzeiro, Cruzeiro Real, and at last the current Real. Below are a few samples of all these cited above.

Wonder if other countries have had as many currency changes as we had in the past century…

Jorge & Mateus – Coca Cola campaign for the 2010 World Cup

It’s always nice to see people from Itumbiara-GO (that’s where I grew up), making success. They’re very good country singers, and the world cup is only 4 months away… can’t wait for it.

Leandrinho (from the Phoenix Suns) Avatar’ized’.

Looks like it was another one of Nash’s productions.
