Videos I Like 2

Again, I’ve come across some videos that I’d like to share.  These are ones that caught my attention:

This is one commercial we won’t be seeing on our TV screens.  Because of the Rihannagate scandal, Wrigley quickly dropped Chris Brown as their endorser and pulled out all ads that included the fallen R&B star.  What a shame since “Forever” is the first hit song that I know of that had a sly endorsement even before it was released.  I noticed the line, “double the pleasure, double the fun” in the Top Ten hit song even before I found out that it was connected to the gum brand.  So unfortunate for everyone concerned.

In the same vein as the Mercedes dumb blonde ad, this is another commercial that really amused me.  The actress was so good and she reminds me of a bigger-boobed, dumber version of Rachel Griffiths of Six Feet Under.

Nando’s Ad


I love the song “Just Dance”, I love John Mayer, I love Ellen DeGeneres.  So what better combo than adding all three into a really cute skit?

Did you ever wonder what happens when a bird hits a plane’s engine?  The phenomenon is known in the aviation industry as a “bird strike”.  It was the known cause of the plane that crashed in the New York river as well as some problems in local airlines.  Well, they did an experiment and this is what happens.  Scary.

This is an actual footage of what 2 news anhcors do during a break in the newscast.  So amusing to know that severely serious news anchors have a keen sense of humor too.

Anchors Aweigh!
