CoverGirl Gets Online TV Show. Huzzah. Jun Group Productions is helping CoverGirl launch an online show. It'll be available on CoverGirl.com. This spot promises the show will divulge the secret of the hottest looks (flawless skin?) while lavishing audiences in the glamour of NYC. See episode 1, where you will learn about layering with make-up and hats. How much do you want to bet the effort doesn't last six months? Online Degree Program Puts Graduates On Plastic Expressway We can't describe how heartily we dig that the Nextag online degree program makes career options look like our Barbie closet. Dress up like a nurse, a cop or "something else" -- a category for which our imagination holds no bounds (trailer trash and naughty maid, to name a couple). And you gotta love how the NexTag logo parks "Comparison Shopping" right next to "Degrees." It really all comes down to the same thing, doesn't it? Anti-War Song (Again) Repurposed -- for a Printer! Remember the repugnance that was All You Need is Luvs? Get a load of "All you need is hub," courtesy of Konica Minolta for its bizhub printer/copier/scanner-majig. Because nothing says "revolution" like a print job that doesn't fuck up your tie-dye. Install Facebook App. Win Communal Shark. Questions? DIE! Catch Up Lady let us in on the conception of Will Ferrell's Funny or Die Facebook app. It's nothing special; users can watch Funny or Die videos, rate them, that kind of thing. The school with the most downloads wins a visit from the Funny or Die comedy tour and a hammerhead shark, possibly autographed by Ferrell and the cast of The Golden Girls...? Well, that's slightly more creative than $5,000. And sharks are neat. If they stop moving, they die. Sort of like what will happen to Will Ferrell's career if he stops being funny. Clipcaster Gives US Users Shiny New Outlet for Inside Voices Clipcaster.TV, which did that funky videoke thing for Pisang Ambon's Rock the Palace campaign, is now available for digital howlers Stateside. Now we too can rock the palace, or at least rock the appropriate level of decibels in the office. Our virgin visit to Clipcaster resulted in a traumatic song-and-dance from these three would-be Village People in red outfits and neat hats at left. Ooh. Belated happy holidays. Clipcaster self-promotes as "the first online videoke," which is something we actually hoped would never reap the fruits of globalization. So much for that dream. Lesbian Site Gets Goofy With MySpace Avatar in Flickr Promotion To help increase its membership, someone presumably behind the lesbian site BestforLESBIANS (NSFW) has created several humorous images (some NSFW) made up of random racy shots coupled with a MySpace avatar who comments on the imagery. What? You say this isn't relevant news? Of course it is. The porn industry practically invented every known form of online advertising 6 months before anyone else knew about it. Though, we're not sure campaign festooned with goofy avatars will be the next greatest online advertising technique. Just an MLK, Jr. Day Time-Waster with Unusually Broad Scope If you have strong positive feelings about any of the following: - Beer then you will probably still not love this. Brought to you by Weird Al Yankovic and The Cult of Ethan, respectively. Cheetos Ditches Chester, Goes Underground When we think Cheetos, we think Chester Cheetah, who vibes like an old guy in shades that hangs out at high schools, says hip phrases and eats cheesy snacks. Chester is fucking creepy. Plus, he was always trying to get his (presumably Cheetos-stained) fingers on other people's food. Probably because Frito Lay has finally caught on to the creepiness that is Chester, it gives us Orange Underground (not to be confused with Weather Underground, the radical leftist terrorist org), courtesy of Goodby Silverstein. Firebrand to Create National Holiday Out of...Um...Commercials Is there such a thing as tanking a press release, hoping no one will pick it up and make fun of it? No luck of that here today folks. It might be Martin Luther King day but we're still strapped to our crappy, back-breaking, sorry-ass chair dishing out content for the rest of you unlucky souls working today while your bosses are enjoying the day off. Anyway. here we go. Firebrand (the hottest spots from the coolest brands, ya know) is pleased to announce what it's dubbed "The Holiest Day in Advertising," occurring February 4th. On that day, Firebrand will showcase the best of this year's Super Bowl spots. Sometimes a Profession (First Mangles, then) Chooses You A girl named Mandy promised this video would reveal the COOLEST ROBOT EVER! We were skeptical but later decided she was right. Sure it won't shave your balls and get you off, but it will do a silly little dance. And it looks cuddly. Here's another spot where robotics author Daniel Wilson, the star (and creator) of both videos, gets smack-talked by an automated phone system named Diane. We think it's just a cheesy way for him to represent his alma mater and show off his iPhone. If you find yourself moved by the Carnegie Mellon alumnus' emotional subservience to robots, check out RoboU. CM's robotics unit could apparently use some new junkies.
