I originally found this via the community guy and thought it was hilarious.

Setup as a video to promote the movie The Women the video happens to depict exactly what lengths company “may” go to expecting their videos to “go viral”.

What if a big corporation designed the stop sign?

This is a perfect rendition of what can happen with committees, poor client direction, and an overall lack of leadership. I have been in fair share of meetings that make me want to shout “focus!”. Although hilarious it should inspire you to stay on target in your next “brainstorm” meeting.

My favorite part:
“We are targeting woman, but we are targeting men secondarily”

Weezer mashes up every Internet meme – will it blend?

Weezer has come out with a video (embedding disabled but the video already has 6MM views) that mashes up some of the best Internet meme’s over the past few years. Including but not limited to Tay Zonday, Numa Numa, the dramatic chipmunk, and many more. Source: Diving Bored

Checkout the Weezer Pork and Beans Video

For more info Wired has an interview with the director of the video Mathew Cullen.

I am still not sure why they do not allow embeds – almost seems hypocritical to the way in which many of the meme stars in this video got started. You can keep watching the Weezer channel for more content in coming weeks.
