Tiger Woods - Golf God (still)



With all the buzz about Tiger Wood's recent car accident, fans are starting to question his integrity. Even the Tiger Woods is God website has abandoned its previous proclamation that Tiger Woods is, in fact, the Messiah. However, this video proves otherwise. Maybe they were right all along.

So grab your Tiger shirts, golf bag and balls. Let's go join the Church of Tiger!

Mr. W.



This is one of the better advertisements for green technology I've seen in a while. Granted, it took me more than half the commercial to "get it", but once I did it made perfect sense. Why not put all that potential to good use?

In the name of eco-friendliness, I love knowing I'm using something 'green' for my energy source. For example, I always use rechargeable batteries for small electronics and my friend just gave me a water-powered alarm clock so I don't have to plug anything in!

Hopefully in the future, we'll keep putting Mr. W. to good use.

Potatos



Oh, the potato heads make me chuckle! Go Bridgestone for a successful Super Bowl commercial. Funny promotions are always my favorite.

Book Promo Gone Terribly, Terribly Awry



Carrie Prejean went on Larry King Live the other day to promote her book on live t.v. She wore her typical pageant smile and gold necklace around her neck.

For those of you who don't remember, Carrie Prejean is the woman who had the Miss America title taken away from her after her anti-gay activism came to light. She then went on to sue the pageant for discriminating against her religious beliefs. They settled, the world moved on.

But when Larry King attempted to ask her a personal question about the settlement she took her microphone off and sat there. Smiling.

Watch it for yourself. I'd love to know what other people are thinking about this failed attempt at a promotion. Maybe she should of stuck to printing up Carrie Prejean promotional flyers and bookmark logos instead?

The One and Only Staceyann Chin



She's an activist and a poet. She screams like a crazy woman on occasion and she will defend her rights to the death. Even though she's been raped, abused and discriminated against, she stands her ground. Staceyann Chin is the type of woman who would wear a gay rights personalized t-shirt into a Conservative Catholic church, because she is who she is no matter where she goes. No matter who tries to stop her.

Which is one reason that I love her. And I'm posting this poem from her for all of you to watch, hopefully you'll get shivers the way I do when I listen to her and maybe you'll check out her other poems. Each one of her verses are equally awe-inspiring. All of them mean something more than your average rhyme.

I'll admit it, I'm riding on the Staceyann Chin bandwagon. If you agree join the club, maybe we could print up some promotional buttons. :)

It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's.... a Promo!



A popular German publisher was looking to promote themselves at a major book fair in Frankfurt. Instead of handing out promotional products or printing up customized pens, they drew in customers the unconventional way: with 200 flies.

The regular houseflies were outfitted with super lightweight logo banners that had the booth location and publisher's information printed in an easy to read design. Then trade show goers were invited to help launch the flies which freely flew around the exhibition hall for the rest of the day, putting the traditional booths to shame.

But don't worry about those little fly guys. The banners were attached with natural wax which wore off after a few hours, letting the flies live nice, long, happy banner-less fly lives.
