  • Shovel Your Shit.

    January 31st, 2011 / Comments (0)

    Well, it looks like we've got more snow on the way. A lot more.

    Let this serve as a friendly, local reminder (read: threat) to shovel the effing snow in front of your home.

    Below you will see a map of all the reported unshoveled sidewalks and blocked hydrants generated by reports made to WBUR.

    You can file your complaint here.

    From Boston's very own, Improv Asylum.

    And most recently mentioned as one of 2011's Funniest Oscar Movie Parodies by The Huffington Post.

    Legos are still relevant. Check out the 2011 Oscar Best Picture nominated films à la Legos.

    We do. (Obviously.) That's all we do. But we're not the only ones.

    So who else? Let's see some links.

    Post your link and a description in the comments below. We want to follow you.

    Next up on the logo casualty list, NBC Universal, or now, NBCUniversal. No more peacock? Damn, that's a bummer. Is this the doing of new owner, Comcast? Bastards.

    Sometimes we get sick of covering shitty logo redesigns, but mostly we can't believe we have to keep covering shitty logo redesigns.

    Catch a review of recent logo catastrophes here.

  • The Ben Crane Workout

    January 28th, 2011 / Comments (0)

    We caught these videos made by PGA golfer, Ben Crane. We have no idea why he made these other than to be hilarious. They call out bencranegolf.com at the end, but really, there's no reason. Good stuff.

    Check out the outtakes here.

    Have you heard about Facebook's "Sponsored Stories?"

    Here's the premise, they use your personal information (say perhaps, when you check in somewhere or "Like" something), turn it into an ad on the page and call it a "Sponsored Story" and make boatloads of money off of it.

    It might not even annoy us so much if it wasn't for this bullshit video in which they make is sound like they're doing their users a favor.

    At first we thought the Geico/Xtranormal spots (made by The Martin Agency) were so bad, we were blown away that they were even real. Now we just wish we could get paid to write one. Fun.

    January 27th, 2011 / Comments (1)

    Best Buy's first-ever Super Bowl spot this year will star Justin Bieber, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. It will air in the third quarter of the game and was created by CP+B, Boulder.

    Man, we wish we could go back in time and give Black-Sabbath-Ozzy a glimpse into his future.

  • Mullen Warms Up Boston.com

    January 27th, 2011 / Comments (0)

    Head over to Boston.com today and check out a page take over that Mullen has done for JetBlue.

    The page loads up with blue banners and copy that reads "You're freezing!" But as you roll over the banner and get closer to the "Book now" button the page plays a game of hot and cold. As you get closer the page and messaging changes colors up to a call to action that reads, "Turn up the heat by flying south."

    Check it out. Pretty damn appropriate piece of work for a day like today.
