Group Therapy Parodies – Apple Ad: PCs Living with Vista (VIDEO)

(TrendHunter.com) “Hi, I’m a PC and I am living with Vista!” That is the latest twist and (below the belt) hit Apple takes at Microsoft’s expense in their well-known “Hello, I’m a Mac.

TBWA/Vancouver won a Bronze Clio for this outdoor board.

Ralph Steadman at High Noon in Miami Today

Jack Mello of the Clio Awards alerted me this morning to the list of winners in this, the 49th year, of said gala. As I poked around the ftp site looking at work, I encountered something unexpected–no, not a wicked print campaign, Ralph Steadman. Turns out the artist is appearing today at noon in the Gansevoort South Hotel in South Beach as part of the festival. His appearance is sponsored by Saatchi.

Grammatical Video Spoofs – The Way I Are Parody (VIDEO)

(TrendHunter.com) This spoof of “The Way I Are” is exceptionally soothing for the grammar freak’s soul. The video clip spoofs the atrocious language used in the popular Timbaland video. It features naughty teachers and preppy, soccer playing high school boys in their uniforms singing the following text:
