I’ve moved to Facebook, probably not permanently, but it was just easier to share links only there than copying them also on the website. I’ll search for a WordPress plugin, that will allow to synchronize blog and Facebook platform. Surely, am not leaving the idea of a blog behind. Check my profile, for some (for now) 340 links that were supposed to be seen here ;-).
To not make this entry completely pointless, I would like to present you a great campaign of the Strongbow beer. Why is it great? Well, it is not only epic, but also is using the bankers as whipping boys. The concept here is to show common people as heroes, and it is executed really well. There are two versions – throne room, and Braveheart-like. For each one there is a second, with bankers. Just see it and enjoy ;-).
Reference to the Star Wars decoration scene is obvious and well made. For me, even the barmaid there is simmilar to Princess Leia. Only why the little guy there (who is probably acting as Chewbacca) got his beer, when Chewie hadn’t got his medal? Oh well, as like that matters ;-).
pampamparapapam….
Oh, right. So, moving on, here is the same spot with ‘ze bankers’.

The older version, Braveheart style:
Freeeeeeeeeeedoooooom, one may want to say. The bankers are destroying good fun, because who does really know what do they do?
That is all for now. I think that the next entry will be a longer article.

3 credit union microsites – the pros and cons
An escaped Rhesus Macaque monkey in Tampa then evaded capture for over a year, traveling across tree tops and through backyards spanning three counties and over 400 square miles. Along the way, the wily monkey accrued a sizable following, becoming a celebrity of sorts, with around 79,000 Facebook fans.
Capitalizing on the media frenzy fueling the monkey’s fandom, GTE Federal Credit Union launched an online “Mystery Monkey Tour Contest.” The contest gave clues to the monkey’s whereabouts via GTE FCU’s Facebook account. The first person to “find” the monkey at four different locations correctly gets a $1,500 cash prize! Anyone who joined during the promotion got a Mystery Monkey of Tampa Bay T-shirt.
Turner Classic Movies – Lose Yourself in Film
I love the colours, and the whole concept of getting lost in the film reels.
Coca-Cola – Machine of Friendship
FLYING DONKEY
Flying donkey… used to promote para sailing…
Nike Woman -Just survive it
Here I am – great, but the whole point of promoted product is getting lost somewhere among the robots, ancient gods, monsters etc… Show your dark side mother nature? Riiiight. It is also way to dark and shady to know what is going on.

I will never understand why do some people believe that all sort of publicity is a good thing.
Dodge: Freedom
Very funny ad. You are just waiting for Mel Gibson to appear somewhere holding a tomahawk. The final message is also fun – freedom, well perhaps, but cars? Geeeez…

An interactive YT game, quite funny.
This is an excellent song, especially when you are feeling so gloomy as I am now… One can say, that it is as good, as it is sad. Not the greatest song, because as all the hard rockers known that title can be only attached to this one:
Tenacious D – Tribute
Well, it is only a tribute by Tenacious D to the greatest and best song in the world, but it is a darn close call ;-). Jack Black is an amazing performer, and I am not being sarcastic here.

Unfortunately the leader, whose moving voice can be heard on the first video, died while performing on stage, few months after Night had been recorded.

Just ignore them. Frasier hadn’t followed that advice – by trying to prove to his friends that he is indeed having a prize girlfriend, he ultimately lost her. We should not be too concerned with how other people are perceiving us. I have a great problem with that, and sadly – have not yet conquered this flaw.
