Seth and Riley's Garage "How not to" (2015) 2:25 (Belgium)

Seth and Riley’s Garage is a tasty low-alcohol beverage kind of like Mike’s Hard Lemonade. Since “How to” videos are all the rage. Duval Guillaume created a “How not to,” video. If you like your how not to videos long, slightly racist (Ask your Latino friend who of course doesn’t speak English, of my god, I got on the wrong plane and I’m headed to Africa!) and ageist, than you’ll love this video. If not, then you’ll wish you could get those two and a half minutes of your life back.

Ford Transit "Digger" (2105) 1:00 (UK)

This ad brings the lolz and proves you can do a great job advertising vehicles and their features without it being boring. The concept is simple– some hater/doubter calls into question a claim made by Ford transit, and they set out to prove him wrong in very…creative ways. In this case, the feature is the mobile docking station. Stay tuned for the behind-the-scenes as well, which only proves the concept further. Fun stuff.

Geometric House with Several Points of View

Les architectes du bureau Cadaval & Sola?-Morales ont imaginé une maison bien particulière, baptisée « La Maison Tournesol », située sur la Casta Brava, en Catalogne. Cette dernière se compose, en facade de cubes ornés de baie vitrés et orientés dans des directions différentes. Ceci permet donc de bénéficier d’un point de vue différent sur l’environnement de la construction, suivant la pièce où l’on se trouve.

Jessica Alba Returns for Zico As Vita Coco Ditches Celebs


Jessica Alba is coming back for year two of Zico’s “Crack Life Open” campaign. At the same time, competing coconut water brand Vita Coco is ditching celebrity ambassadors in favor of simplicity in its first global campaign, “Stupidly Simple.”

The new summer ads come as the coconut water category continues to expand beyond the confines of shelves at Whole Foods and into the mainstream. Both Vita Coco and Zico saw gains in sales in recent years, according to Euromonitor International. Vita Coco sales grew from $320 million in 2013 to $421 million in 2014. Zico sales increased from $86 million in 2013 to $115 million in 2014.

Each brand will boost ad support behind the new ads, according to company representatives. Zico spent a little more than $8 million on measured media in 2014, while Vita Coco spent more than $1 million in 2014, according to Kantar Media.

Accelerationism

by

…because this is liberating, because it causes a revolution, or because destruction is the only logical answer.

From Adbusters #119: Manifesto For World Revolution Part 2

There is this music genre called Vaporwave

that started around 2012 but is currently gaining popularity. It is a music genre heavily influenced by aesthetics of tumblr, the internet and a global market. This one article has a few well written sections relating this movement to the theory of accelerationism. Meaning, everything in our world is moving so quickly and becoming shit, so in order to create a change we need to push everything along even faster to burnout point and come out on the other side with something good.

Is it a critique of capitalism or a capitulation to it? Both and neither. These musicians can be read as sarcastic anti-capitalists revealing the lies and slippages of modern techno-culture and its representations, or as its willing facilitators, shivering with delight upon each new wave of delicious sound. We could apply to their music a term used to describe a certain sentiment and praxis that has recently gained currency among philosophers of capitalism: accelerationism. Accelerationism is the notion that the dissolution of civilization wrought by capitalism should not and cannot be resisted, but rather must be pushed faster and farther towards the insanity and anarchically fluid violence that is its ultimate conclusion, either because this is liberating, because it causes a revolution, or because destruction is the only logical answer.

It sporadically found voice in the work of twentieth-century continental philosophers François Lyotard, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari but was explored most thoroughly and alarmingly by the British philosopher Nick Land during the 1990s. With William Gibson’s cyberpunk fiction and Apocalypse Now’s Colonel Kurtz among his reference points, Land’s heady, nightmarish philosophy melted together scholarship and art into a staccato stream of penetrating and, in hindsight, disquietingly prescient tableaux. “Life is being phased-out into something new,” said Land in his 1992 essay “Circuitries.” “And if we think this can be stopped we are even more stupid than we seem.”

How A-B InBev Is Using Food in Its Beer Marketing

The brewer — which recently launched a national “Bud & Burgers” best hamburger contest — on Saturday will debut the first TV ad for its new “Host Beautifully” campaign for Stella that seeks to bolster the imported brand’s gourmet credentials. The spot (above), by Mother, New York, shows a man hosting a party for four in a hot air balloon, serving hors d’oeuvres above a hilly, green countryside.

Stella is seeking more foodie love online, where it is touting a “A-Z guide to host beautifully.” The brand has signed up music star John Legend, fashionistas and celebrity chefs to contribute sophisticated party tips in the guide.
