Screaming for Excedrin

Youtube Frenzy

Here are a bunch of mostly unconnected youtube videos I just like. They're good, in different ways.

Mike Gravel does "Helter Skelter." Cause that song isn't associated with crazy people at all.


This was his last little number. It's awesome.


Excellent April Fool's gag from Terry Jones and co.


The greatest ad ever made: Hungarian sausages!



And this is sublime and beautiful.

Don't Steal Movies or I Will Turn You Into a Skull

This is old, but great, and I forgot about it until today, and it's never not a good day to show people the creepiest, weirdest anti-piracy ad you've ever seen.

Here's the youtube:

Cuke-a-Cola

"Can that Coke, keep cool with a cucumber Pepsi
As the summer begins to sizzle, we can think of no better way to
slake our thirst than with a cold carbonated beverage. And if you're
in Japan, now you can keep cool with a cucumber-flavored soda."

Subliminable

An interesting post on Althouse about a possibly intentional, racist, subliminal message in the "3 A.M." ad got me thinking a bit about subliminal messages in other contexts.





A short subliminal roundup:

* Other campaign ads.


*Info on a subliminal message controversy surrounding Disney movies (see Snopes.com for more on this).


*A number of subliminal (and not-so-subliminal) images.


*A piece on research from New Scientist.


*An article from the BBC.


* A skeptical view.


Clearly, further research is needed.

AFSCME

Funny PSA on the youtubes.
