There are two new "social networking" sites which sole purpose is to allow people to continuously update their friends on everything they buy. The NYTimes writes "from dinner at a local restaurant to cosmetic surgery." The websites work by allowing users to link their credit cards and online accounts.
Too much.

FIFA 2010: ESPN v. Coke v. Nike
Patriotism - normally derided by our liberal environment - could make a comeback with the USA as the underdog in the world cup, or so hopes ESPN. The Thomas Paine voice over is amazing, but really, ESPN marketeers, no one is buying it. (side note: "women's" olympic gymnastics is the only USA sport for which I feel super die-hard country spirit)
Coke counters with a culturally diverse narrator.
Nike takes a shot with ultra-HD. GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAL.

Shaq teaches us a lesson
Shaq is a genius? Well, he's an art curator. And, he has something serious to say...size DOES matter.
Tiny elevators.
Tiny Shaq.
Three naked guys.
Big chairs.
"The thing about size - if its big or small you have to look at it. Because I'm so big you have to look at me. I think of myself as a monument. But sometimes I like to feel small." - Shaq, New York Magazine
Deep.

Ridiculous Right Now: Cyborg style
Women or machines? Do you think these women undermine feminism with their over-sexualized costumes? Or are they like warriors bolstering feminine strength?

Three wolves are better than one.
With this shirt, you can pull mad hot chicks and fly. But I bet you already knew that.
If you didn't, just read the customer reviews.

You are what you Queue.
In an exercise of pointless data mapping, The New York Times examined Netflix rental patterns across major US cities in 2009. In an exercise of embarrassing tweenybopping, I sorted zip codes by Twilight renting frequency (red = high frequency).
Not surprisingly, Lynn and Saugus are a twihard fan haven too.
And now in an exercise of continuing a fight with my brother, see below the NYC rental pattern of "Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail"...
versus "Sunshine Cleaning"
Point taken?

Third time's a charm
Are these boots made for walking? Das boot? Can I possibly be cheesier with my puns? Shouldn't cheesy be spelled with a z? Cheezey.

Overload
Whenever I fly somewhere, I chalk myself up to a tired, weary traveler in need of some comforts - which usually amounts to a pile of fashion magazines and airport candy (taking escalators and standing behind slow people in the security line, who somehow still don't know that they have to take their computers out, takes its toll - what a hard journey it is).
Flipping through magazines all at once reveals just how canned and reproduced they all are (but i stupidly still read them). Their covers are maybe the best example - apparently 500+ ways to do something is not enough, 600+ is the new benchmark. Another example? The over romanticized descriptions of the featured clothes and products.
A few favorite words of a fashion copy-writer: slouchy, moody, luxe, chunky, demure, crisp, inky, polished, lipstick-red.
