We thoroughly enjoyed this experiential project that was created for last year’s COP17 conference in Durban. This is the final case study of the project.

Dark cinema + live freaky zombie gurgling and snarling at unexpected cinema going is a good recipe for a unique way to advertise the upcoming season of The Walking Dead 2 on the FX Channel on TopTV.

TopTV hey? Wonder if they have as much insanely irritating promo ads in the middle of shows like their major competitor does?

[Thanks George]

At least one Superbowl ad is causing a bit of a stir after the big game.

The new Samsung Galaxy Note comes with ‘a pen’ and people are confused. Steve Jobs said that pens were very 1998 and here Samsung are back in the mix with ‘a pen’. Twitter is abuzz with Samsung jokes and demand for the return of the Palm device.

Yet another insane music video by part time musicians OK Go has been released.

The new music video from OK Go, made in partnership with Chevrolet. OK Go set up over 1000 instruments over two miles of desert outside Los Angeles. A Chevy Sonic was outfitted with retractable pneumatic arms designed to play the instruments, and the band recorded this version of Needing/Getting, singing as they played the instrument array with the car. The video took 4 months of preparation and 4 days of shooting and recording. There are no ringers or stand-ins; Damian took stunt driving lessons. Each piano had the lowest octaves tuned to the same note so that they’d play the right note no matter where they were struck. For more information and behind-the-scenes footage, see http://www.LetsDoThis.com and http://www.okgo.net.

No word on how much it cost as yet.

In a time where there’s a fast food ‘church’ opening on every street corner [yes, news this morning is that Pizza Hut will be returning to South Africa soon] – the allure of the old seems to becoming ever more powerful.

Prime Burger Restaurant, in Midtown Manhattan: For many of the guys that work here, the restaurant is like a second home – some of them have been slinging burgers, making shakes, and waiting on customers at this location for decades. Opened in 1938, the place hasn’t been altered since the early ’60s, and it looks all the better for it.

Here the waiters and workers of Prime Burger discuss their views on their chosen profession, and the unique nature of the place itself.

The Google Chrome logo does look like a beach ball – and often behaves like one too.

VW have just released this – the extended version of their ’2012 Game Day commercial’.

Very cool. Makes us feel like we should head out for a run later today. However there’s that Star Wars theme again. It’s going to start becoming like Lady Gaga.

In Joburg this could become a thriving business opportunity. Filling potholes with miniature gardens could really take off over there. Of course in reality very few would give a damn unfortunately.

There are those that will love this – and it’s sure to sell loads of XBox Kinects. For us it just feels that the allure and mystic of Star Wars has been eroded to such an overexposed commercial level thanks to Internet memes and over-licensing. But then again, who really gives a damn. George Lucas is making tonnes of money.

This looks radical if you’re an outdoors, fit and functional type person.
