"Special Edition" New York Post
Comedy (Broad, Politics), Docs & Non-Fiction (Cultural)
[ 2:33 - from Vimeo ]A group called the Yes Men has created a false edition of the NY post with the headline “We’re Screwed”. Within the Faux edition are all kind of reports (they say are totally factual) about the dangers of climate change. Of course, the real New York Post has been pretty skeptical of climate change. The group has timed this parody and stunt to coincide with a UN meeting on climate issues; they claim to have distributed nearly a million copies. view

It's the music that makes this video for sure, but beyond that is the passion of the students lip-syncing to the Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling". This is an important video because it addresses some Internet copyright issues. In my opinion, allowing people to use copyright protected content as a form of expression is good for everyone. If these students had approached the Black Eyed Peas' record label to get permission to make a video like this they would have been shut down in a heartbeat; by just doing it they are going to have a viral video hit on their hands. YouTube has paved the way for new videos to monetize, so both the Black Eyed Peas and UQAM have a chance at making some money. Best of all, the audience is able to enjoy something that, until recently, we never would have had the opportuinity to see. view

This is just so silly, but so funny. A parody of the I'm a PC commercials featuring someone's nana acting just like a middle-aged woman trying to send a photo to someone. I usually tell people who are computer illiterate to buy a Mac, but sadly I don't think that's going to help nana. Not sure if there will be a sequel, but I'm rooting for her. view

Jason Alexander in "The McDLT"
Comedy (Unintentionally Funny), Other Gems (Advertisements), Viral (Time Capsule)
[ 1:02 - from YouTube ]Sure, George Costanza is one of the greatest television characters in history. But Jason Alexander's unforgettable work in "Seinfeld" doesn't make this McDonald's commercial go down any easier. The singing! The dancing! The burgers! I especially love the shoulder-padded blazers and the rolled up sleeves. "I'm talkin..." one dated commercial. view

Protect Insurance Companies PSA
Comedy (Broad, Politics, Spoof), Other Gems (Branded Entertainment), Viral (Viral ads)
[ 2:20 - from Funny or Die ]Will Ferrell, Jon Hamm, and a host of other stars speak out on health care in a deadpan answer to the "death-panel" attack ads. This clip, produced by moveon.org, may just have the potential to give the "Harry and Louise" tactics of insurance companies a run for their money. view

AT&T 1993 "You Will" Ads
Docs & Non-Fiction (Computers / Tech), Other Gems (Advertisements), Viral (Time Capsule)
[ 2:04 - from YouTube ]Buying concert tickets from a cash machine, paying a toll without slowing down, or sending a fax from the beach: Back in 1993, these all sounded totally futuristic. They're not now -- but go retro for a moment and see what AT&T envisioned for our future 16 years ago. PS: Yes, that's Tom Selleck doing the voice over. view

In an effort to reduce Pentagon spending, President Obama has scrapped plans to build a tank shaped like a dragon. Those opposed to Obama's actions claim that the funding is crucial to maintaining America's military advantage. Our enemies wouldn't know what hit them when our flying, fire breathing, glow-in-the-dark scaled dragon showed up. The only explanation Onion news correspondents can come up with is that our President is terrified of dragons. view
