Seems these two are in some sort of venue of ill repute.
Blame Katrina.

music video – Canadian Idiot
I love the Weird Al Yankovic take on the song American Idiot by Green Day.
As usual, Weird Al is right on the money with this parody.
Some kids made their own video to the song. Click PLAY or watch the clip on YouTube.
But who do we have to thank for this homemade video? It is credited to Phil McCracken.
if anything unifies “the rest of Canada”
… it’s being irked at Toronto thinking itself the centre of the universe.

the beautiful Mélissa Theuriau
I am always impressed by the number of unexpected things you find on YouTube.
Here some (undoubtedly single) guy edited a video homage to French newsreader Mélissa Theuriau.
Click PLAY to see the object of worship or watch Mélissa on YouTube.
Mélissa Theuriau (b. July 18, 1978, in Échirolles, suburb of the south of Grenoble) made her breakthrough as a French newscaster and travel show host for LCI, the news channel for TF1.
… the French paparazzi weekly Voici featured pictures of Mélissa topless at the beach.
In June 2006, M6, another French television channel, announced her arrival for September as editor in chief and presenter of Zone interdite, a weekly magazine show featuring investigative reporting.

new advertising – see Colonel Sanders from space
Ad executives everywhere are ripping out hair trying to find new ways not to get fired. Old advertising models are dying.
Those working for KFC did something totally unique and big scale. They built an 87,500 square-foot Colonel Sanders in the desert. It took a team 3,000 hours to create a logo that was big enough to see from space!

Why?
So guys like me would post it on a blog, spreading good will for deep fried factory chicken. Free viral advertising.
To see a time lapse of the construction click PLAY, or watch it on Google Video.
Note: Google Video really does have a far better feature set than YouTube (which is also now full of trashy advertising). Since Google owns both, it will be interesting to see how they evolve in parallel.

Thanks Cal.
goodbye Justin Long?
This is a mockument tribute to the great Apple vs PC TV commercials.
But the ad campaign is rumoured to be over. Customers prefer the nerdy PC (John Hodgman) over the cool Mac guy, Justin Long.
But there’s hope. Justin Long says he is scheduled for more. I hope so. They are brilliant.
