From the Non-allergenic lolcats dept.: Put last year’s mainstream Internet meme on your fridge… tomorrow! Non-US orders accepted.

These money themed ads made by JWT for the Brazilian business newspaper Gazeta Mercantil are among the better marketing I’ve seen lately. I approve of their message.

I found some properly entertaining use of paint on human built structures in the following short film. I recommend watching this odd and well done little movie titled MUTO using Vimeo’s full screen capabilities (embedded flash from vimeo.com below).

This time, the Youtubes bring us one fairly merry weatherman, probably from a Haitian newscast (?). Below: embedded Flash video from youtube.com.

I apparently missed the first episodes when they were posted early last year, but the [...]
