Bob Ross is back & fighting for a cause

I grew up watching Bob Ross… and come to think of it, Bob Ross may be the sole reason I studied art in college. Anyway, in case his officially licensed art supplies weren’t enough, Dutch production agency Comrad created this bizarre yet somehow poignant video for NoBELe Match.

NoBELe is a non-profit aiming to match young creatives and businesses for similar causes. A pretty cool effort, and a bizarre promo. But using Bob Ross is probably perfect for the target demo, and despite its oddness, it’s spreading like wildfire. I only wish there was some reference to Peapod the squirrel in the video. But I suppose that might be asking a bit too much.

Who You Gonna Call? YouTube

‘Look at Me!’ speedsters in the UK are pretty much doing the Po-Po’s job for them by filming their high speed antics and whacking ‘em up on YouTube.

It does seem to be direct from the ’so dumb it’s funny’ book but it’s actually happening and I can imagine the boys in blue are loving it, they get to surf the web all day and fill their monthly quota of speeding tickets. Now that’s the only way to live.

And a great use of UGC.
