Life Would be Very Strange if Facebook Interaction Was Real World Here's is an absolutely perfect (and hilarious) representation of what real life would be like if everyone acted the way they do when they use Facebook. Scary, Very scary. The video comes from the UK comedy group, Idiots of Ants. Earlier, the group had fun spoofing the debut of Facebook News Feed feature. Not That You'd Know But Facebook's MorphMonkey Has Chlamydia AdFreak reports The American Social Health Association is using...what else...social media to educate people about the STD Chlamydia with a Facebook application, MorphMonkey. Created by Duval Guillaume, the application, lets people create love children by combining their images with a friend's. In a bit of reverse nastiness, the campaign's tagline is "spread it to beat it." Guy Ritchie Fuses Glory to Mayhem in Nike Soccer Spot For client Nike, 72andSunny tapped Guy Ritchie to direct "The Next Level," a two-minute romp in the skin of an Arsenal soccer player. Get a throbbing sense of a day in the life: star chums in your face, women kissing your fingertips, vomming behind the water coolers, knocking teeth out in the shower, admiring the other guy's sportier socks. All that grit-dipped glam for the taking. Don't you wanna go quit school and play soccer? Go be a hero and bend it. Imagine if Every Douche Had a Rogue Mustache I was probably sold on this video around the time Big Man on Campus went, "Cat gut. She's got more torque than most players can deal with." The spot, for Wahl Trimmers, was put together by Leo Burnett, Detroit; Caviar Films, Beast Editorial, and Pluto and Milagro Post. If you're wondering why it needed so many supple fingers, you haven't watched it yet. Manipulating the furry rogue required genius. Funny about Leo Burnett though. Isn't that the agency whose creatives grew 'staches for charity? Ever See 1500 Coke Fountains Blow at Once? You don't really want to. Dubbed "The Diet Coke & Mentos Experiments," the Leuwen, Belgium-based event happened on 4/24 and broke the world record for most "exploding" fountains at once: 1500. (The previous record was 973 out of Missouri.) Not sure where Mentos fits in but it doesn't look like there was a lot of fresh-making going on. Did it sponsor the raincoats or something? Something to contemplate while looking over previous Mentos/Diet Coke collabos. Thanks Influencia for sending this over. If Ever You Sense a Traitor in Your Midst, Here's How to Sniff Her Out Gift shops aren't exactly hotspots of envy. When I think "gift shop," I think over-expensive cigarettes, travel deodorant and hand-whittled local goods. But there's this gift shop in St. Louis called Lusso. If its advertising is anything to go by (and when would it ever lie?), objects from Lusso compel people to steal, pick fights, and take back wedding presents. Maybe it's the handmade gift-wrap service. See acts of insanity here: o In certain cases, there is no honor among maids. All this to tell you Lusso's moved to The Crescent on Carondelet Plaza. Now that you know, go thee forth and wreak havoc. Agency: Rodgers Townsend, St. Louis. Here's Something to Help You Feel a Brit Different To distract from the UK's buzzkill of a climate, VisitBritain highlights the quirky Brits. (Think The Office, Spamalot and fried fish with mushy peas. They have much to teach us.) Be a Brit Different (get it? GET IT?!!!!!) avails users to British bloggers and preferred music and movies, in addition to must-see destinations. It's a culture extravaganza. Bloggers, which are heavily promoted, were recruited for their "Britishness." Content won't be filtered; then again, I haven't seen anything super-racy -- although Henry from London sorta reminds me of Bruce Campbell for Old Spice. TBWA's TEQUILA\ built the site and conducted online outreach. The site targets East and West Coast Boomers that did the touristy travel stuff and want Real Culture. Google Goes Dotty, Viper Seeks Victims, Buzzd Proves Quieter than We Thought - Based in Japan? Imbue your iGoogle page with spirit of cheetah. Via @michaelallison. - Because moms need $100 jeans too. Tummy tucker? Better still. - This online effort for Absolut's "In an Absolut World" campaign lets you spy on the prime minister of Australia from four security cameras. Prank call or order him Chinese food. Sometimes he does Tai Chi. By TEQUILA\ Australia. - The Missouri Lottery invites you to answer the call of Viper. I wouldn't. Well, maybe if I got lotto money for it. - Buzzd put together a product demo to show off its "killer features." Get this: It HAS NO SOUND. Dude, these days even PowerPoints have sound. Was the brains of your operation out sick? MoveOn: For 100 More Years in Iraq, Vote McCain! MoveOn.org is the most promotionally-savvy crowdsourced non-profit. It's candid about its biases. And if it wants a certain outcome, it invests as much energy in being a horror-monger as it does in playing cheerleader. No secret that the group ain't mad for McCain. Today it's soliciting funds to help air its latest anti-Mac ad, which uses an out-of-context sound bite to suggest a vote for McCain is a vote for 100 more years of Iraqi occupation. With swings like that, vocal Barack contenders should all be wearing cups. Amazon Needs a Nudge with that Newfangled 'Email Marketing' Thing Dear Amazon.com Customer, As someone who purchased video games or music from genres included in the game, you might be interested in our Grand Theft Auto IV music downloads store. This is part of an email pitch that preceded a GIGANTOR graphic inviting me to "Download music from Grand Theft Auto IV."
