What a great way to promote the new Madden video game. Madden crushes the videos adjacent to his video ad. Not the first use of an ad interacting with surrounding content, but a brilliant application. Hats off to the agency. Dare you identify yourself?
Lesson learned in this video. Don’t propose in public. Kinda reminds me of the last episode of The Office. Courtesy of a new blog featuring Google videos and information about Google.
Remember the jumping stilts (kangaroo stilts) you may have discovered on YouTube around 2007 (see SMPFilms video)? It’s probably not a good idea to use them to jump over the moving car your dad is driving. Here’s one for the Darwin Awards, Failblog, and “what did you think would happen?” file. Below is a video…
