Gatorade Gets Into Sidney Crosby, Lets Us Come Too

sidney_crosby_2.jpg

Gatorade presents us with the What’s Inside campaign starring the NHL’s Sidney Crosby. The Canada-based run includes video game stylistics and surreal Hollywood visual effects. The object is to go on pushing their longtime “Is it in you?” position which always brought Alien, and not sports drinks, to mind.

We’re a little surprised by what the inside of somebody’s mind actually looks like. Under the impression it would be murky and labyrinthine, Crosby’s head is a lot more like, well, a spaceship.

With decision-making opportunities and the occasional dreamy childhood flashback, the site is trippy and occasionally eerie, but then again we’re easily shaken after a Goatse attack. We only wish we had a bit more back-end control over the hockey star, who makes for rather nice eye candy. Credit goes out to Canada’s Tribal DDB.

Nobody talks about why turning 60 feels more significant for women than men – it’s the age when culture stops pretending you’re sexually viable and you have to rebuild your entire sense of worth from scratch

I’m 65 and I’ve started just admitting immediately when I forget someone’s name instead of pretending I remember — and what shocked me is how many people say they forgot mine too, and how much lighter the conversation feels when we stop performing perfect recall

I have a perfectly good smartphone with a notes app I know how to use, but every Sunday I still write my weekly tasks on a piece of paper that sits on my kitchen counter — because at 65, I’ve learned that seeing something in my own handwriting makes me accountable to myself in a way a screen notification never could

Research suggests the retirees who report the highest life satisfaction aren’t the ones who finally relax — they’re the ones who found a purpose that exists independent of achievement, recognition, or being needed
