Love this work by Ogilvy Melbourne for the Melbourne International Film Festival. The two guys really wore the suits for the whole 17 days.

Oh hai! It’s our latest work for Honda Australia

dtdigital:

We’ve always loved advertising that proves rather than just says. So when Honda briefed us on developing a campaign to communicate that the Jazz “Fits anything you can imagine”, we knew exactly where to start. Anyone who has ever sat inside a Jazz knows how big the car feels when you’re in it. All we needed to do was make this point in a way that would stand out from the infinite noise of the internet.

Enlisting the help of our favourite internet friends – hipsters, ninjas, massive bodybuilders and ur boy Bangs – we set out to find out exactly how much you can pack into a Jazz. Jumping on internet memes before they become hackneyed clichés is always a challenge, but we’re pretty sure we pulled it off. Check the videos out and tell us what you think.

The mad scientist’s name is Rodney. He is a legendary bro. Turns out in his spare time he is a microbiologist and some kind of stamp collector. And he has a clipboard fetish. Working with director and comedian Dan Ilic (of “Don’t be a dickhead” and Hungry Beast” fame) and production company DFTS (of Pedestrian.tv fame) was ridiculously fun.

The videos set out to introduce the campaign, as well as driving the audience to enter a competition to win the beautiful, blue, top of the range Jazz from the shoot. It’s in almost perfect condition except for some ninja related injuries and a few Mystic Tan stains from the bodybuilders.

All you need to do to enter the comp is to tell us what YOU would like to see packed into a Jazz. The entry with the most votes at the end wins the Jazz. Pretty simple - it’s all part of the evil plan to encourage your friends to clog up your social network feeds with our branded messages.

With very little media spend behind the campaign, we’re hoping that y’all find it as funny as we do. SHARE IT WITH YOUR FRIENDS!

K thx cu bai.

I would argue that 4chan is ground zero of a new generation of hackers – those who are bent on hacking the attention economy. While the security hackers were attacking the security economy at the center of power and authority in the pre-web days, these attention hackers are highlighting how manipulatable information flows are. danah boyd | apophenia » “for the lolz”: 4chan is hacking the attention economy (via rafer)

Instead of acting as an organic cultural touchstone, the modern meme — from LOL, which hasn’t been used to signify physical laughter since 1997, to Lolcats — now sucks the joy out of our interconnectedness. It destroys uniqueness. Once an “enjoyable thing” becomes a “meme,” we stop enjoying the thing for its own sake, but consume and regurgitate our enjoyment of it as a symbol of hipness, as if to say: “I am aware of this thing’s popularity — therefore I, too, exist! Editor of The Onion calls for an end to memes. (via somethingchanged)

Want to know every line Bart Simpson wrote? Work Club did so they got an illustrator in to write out every single link on a massive black board.

Super Sexy CPR.

More than a million people, most of them from the United States, clog Chatroulette’s servers daily. To “next” someone has become a common transitive verb. Catman is an Internet celebrity, as is Merton the improvising pianist. Brooklyn bars throw Chatroulette parties, an indie band has used the site to début an album, and the Texas attorney general has warned parents to keep their children far, far away. Hundreds of articles and blog posts have asked whether Chatroulette is a fad or a good investment, and if it will change Internet culture forever. From this excellent New Yorker article by Julia Ioffe.
