Barton F. Graf's 'One Continuous Floor' Parodies Barbarian Group's Superdesk In one of the drollest video deliveries we have ever seen, Barton F. Graf 9000's Gerry Graf and "spacial philosopher" Rose Sacktor offer a tour of the agency's office highlighting its amazing features such as its one continuous floor, see through materials otherwise known as windows, discontinuous desks and poles that prevent the floor above from falling on your head. Nothing like dry wit to sensationalize normality. Baby Chicks Take First Flight to Death in Student-Created PETA Video David Hakimyar, a student at the Filmadademy Baden-Wuerttemberg in Germany, created a commercial for PETA which tells the sad story of what happens to male chicks as they attempt to take first flight.

Most Interesting Man Solves Depressing Realization Cinco de Mayo Falls On A Monday The Most Interesting Man is bummed out. He's depressed. He's sad. Why? Because Cinco de Mayo falls on a Monday. A Monday! What a bummer! No one wants to party on a Monday. That'd be like trying to get the Geico Camel to do his Hump Day thing on a Saturday. How Predictive Analytics Can Bring Internet-Like Accountability to TV Advertising These days, most enterprise marketers use a multichannel brand awareness and business development strategy to spread the word about their company, products and services via a variety of platforms including digital ads and social media marketing. But, sadly, television still gets the lion's share of ad spend. Isn't it time for enterprise brand marketers to demand their TV campaigns work harder and smarter? Pervy Upskirt Shot Touts American Apparel Miniskirt Line It's been a while since we've seen shenanigans from American Apparel. But an image currently on their website promoting a new line of miniskirts features a women wearing a pleated miniskirt bent over exposing her underwear. And it caught our attention. As many have noted, the brand seems uninterested in actually showing the skirt and far more interested in pervy titillation. 5 Ways Brands (And Agencies) Can Avoid Looking Like Pompous Bufoons Movie critics are a tough bunch. They rarely, if ever, are impressed with "movie magic" such as computer-generated imagery and gee-whiz special effects. In their minds, if the script is weak, no amount of technical prowess will save the film. So it is in the marketing world. Otherwise savvy executives are easily caught up in the "marketing magic" of social networks, online analytics, mobile services and the like. But without a strong plan for your brand in place, all the social campaigns, multi-dimensional database modeling, and mobile apps in the world won't accomplish your marketing goals.

The video, which as far as we can tell, is an unaired spot originally created for the campaign (we are confirming), features It's Not Complicated frontman Beck Bennett and the usual bunch of kids. That Generic Brand Video Is Approaching 1 Million Views That video from stock video provider Dissolve, which was inspired by poetic literature written by Kendra Eash, is approaching one million views on YouTube.

Evian Baby Gets Jiggy With Spider-Man Last week, we were teased that Evian would be unleashing another dancing baby video featuring Spider-Man. Today, it's been released and while it's not quite as fun as the original, it's still got a bit of a kick. As he swings thought the city, Spider-Man meets a miniature version of himself and, like in the original, the two have a face to face dance off. Currently stuck at 301+ views, the video has 244 likes and many positive comments. People seem to like the tie in and are profusely professing their love for Spidey.
