Oh sure. It’s vogue to slam poor little Fred. But you know damned well this little Christmas Cash music video will have you singing the refrain just like iJustine’s dad. Try to resist it, and it will tempt you all the more.
For your convenience, I’m linking to the refrain to save you the 1:00 minute it takes to warm up. Fred Cash Music Video.
No offense to Kodak (they were a sponsor), but I do think the term “a Kodak moment” is lost on this generation. So Kiddsock, the affable sock puppet, suggests “a YouTube moment.” That seems like a fair enough phrase… since YouTube probably has better name recognition than any camera manufacturer, and stands for amateur moments….
According to eMarketer, companies are spending $1.60 on online video for every $100 they spend on television. Video ads will account for only 4.3% of overall online ad spending in 2009, but 5.6% next year and 7.1% in 2011. This chart below shows that the spending per hour view is not low, but this is…
This consumer-generated advertising phase is soooo over. Get real. A bunch of idiots with a webcam will never threaten big agencies. In fact I “threw” this Heinz ketchup ad just to keep the advertising agency model vibrant. There were more than 2,600 entries to the Heinz Ketchup contest on YouTube. Voting occurs between August 27…
The week of July 4th was the worst week for television ratings in “recorded history.” (via System Video Blog). The weird thing about this story is I’m having trouble finding it validated on Reuters, Google News, Yahoo News, or Nielsen. The blogs are writing about it, and System Video Blog sources this Yahoo Asia site….
Amazon loves me. I’ll tell you how I know, and even show you the proof. You see Amazon recently differentiated itself with the Kindle “mayday” button that allows it direct contact. This is a sharp contrast from Google, where getting a human is like requesting the algorithm behind organic search rankings. Today I had my…
YouTube puts Yahoo and even About.com for the most intrusive ad campaign in the history of online-video advertising: Kung Fu Panda 2. While it’s not exactly consistent with Google’s ad model (subtle and relevant) it wins a few points for creativity. And hey… What would YOU do to market this Dreamworks sequel? http://mashable.com/2011/05/11/kung-fu-panda-2-youtube/

Ewww. The tune is not catchy enough to get stuck in my head. In fact, I just watched it and I can’t even remember how it goes. My brain seems to be fairly discriminating about what it remembers lately. I think I need an external brain to store extra stuff on.
I usually dislike getting cash for Christmas (or birthdays). I already have more money than I need. I’d rather people get me something I wouldn’t buy (or wouldn’t even think to buy) for myself. Of course that requires more thought and effort for those doing the giving.
What would you like for Christmas, Kevin, other than cash?
Why am I getting blocked?
I was actually embarrassed when I watched that video, and I literally couldn’t sit through it. I am not happy for Fred or his success. I truly hate that guy.
@2 I’m not fond of his style either, but I don’t see any reason to hate him.
This video makes the baby Jesus cry.
I don’t hate anyone on YouTube. I can’t stand this song or video, but man. The fact that Fred has penetrated pop culture like he has is an achievement.
How he did it on the material he makes, I don’t know. I don’t like his material at all, but more power to him.
Peter Coffin, don’t be naive. It’s not an accomplishment that Fred has “penetrated pop culture like he has” it’s a national embarrassment!
What does it say about our society when our children enjoy watching garbage like this? Yay America! Yay money, more money, all i want is money! Forget family/values/thankfulness I want money!
No wonder America is seen in such a negative light in other countries.
