So Silly You Might Think It’s April Fool’s: Old Spice Bar Soap
Here’s a crazy new commercial poking fun at 80’s commercials and jingles created by Wieden & Kennedy in Portland for Old Spice. Amusing stuff, because it is so far out there you aren’t sure if it’s real or if it’s a joke commercial. That madness is brilliant. Particularly once you start seeing it on TV […]

The english accents […]

This is one entertaining political season, and Herman Cain is no doubt one of the most entertaining individuals. The presidential race provides fodder for comedians like few other national news events. Jimmy Fallon’s creative writing team has been hard at work lampooning the Republicans. As the headline shows, my favorite piece is Herman Cain’s song, […]
