Spinal Tap is returning to raise awareness of “Live Earth,” a series of events that will occur on July 7, 2007. The events are focused on bringing attention to global warming.
It’s amazing to watch this considering how many times we’ve all watched Spinal Tap. But I wish it was 5 3 minute videos instead of 15.
While I’m blogging about people who read my Beyond Viral book, I’d like to thank Rhett & Link for the product placement. Aren’t they cute? They called it an “insightful tome,” and not just because they’re in this fancy hardback book. They also mentioned Daisy Whitney’s “Mockingbirds.” So did the SweetestVegan (see video on Dailymotion)….
Two of the funniest YouTube creators groove together. Brandon Hardesty (best known for “Strange Faces” and his movie impressions, but my favorite is “Extreme Toothbrushing“) and EdBassmaster (best known for “Dog Drives Car,” but my favorite is “I Like Dogs” and when he cracks up during his prank calls). It has some dance moves you…
Via Video Sift: Snake eats crocodile. With my luck, he’ll be in the restroom working that thing out while I’m waiting for a turn pinching my cheeks.
Here at NYC’s OMMA Video conference with discussions about online video, monetization, engagement, advertisements, mobile video, and so on.. here are my top 10 insights, followed by my favorite Twitter posts. Everyone seems to think advertising dollars should fund production. But if I’m a marketer, I’m not diggin’ that model. Shoot- I wanna sell product…
I finally decided that a blog about popular online video was remiss not to include some mention to the “Snakes on a Plane” viral videos. Especially since we’re down to less than a month before the August 18 release date. In case you’ve slept through the past 8 months, here’s the backdrop: Samuel Jackson’s movie…
Business Week Online provides the “CEO Guide to Online Video.” Sponsored by CISCO. It feels like advertorial, but here’s some of the wisdom it emparts. Do: Keep it short Measure results Don’t: Script it Forget about your brand If I ever sound this remedial, will someone please take away my blogger’s license?

You’re right. It’s too long. Unlike my Earth Day video. Let’s watch mine instead…

See what I just did there? How shameless was that?
AFAIC, Spinal Tap has always been too long, but I do like their individual work. While that’s loading, so I can skip through it, I’ll head on over and watch Mark Day’s shameless plug.
Why do I feel like smoking weed right now?
You’re right. STOP global warming.
thanks for your post
Best Regards…

Let’s drop acid and get a colon flush!

Global warming is claptrap. Thirty years ago it was the new “Ice Age.” Liberals are lucky that morons have short memories.
Shocking to see the ever-shortening attention span of the contemporary mainstream… “Spinal Tap too long ? Too slow”?!? Even in their late 50’s these are still some of the sharpest comedic minds working today. Even their throwaway gags are smarter than most of the dumbed down schlock that passes for comedy today.
It’s sad to observe that Satire itself is evaporating on the comedy landscape. The “I’m Like” generation is so stupified from simpleminded video games, frat boy stand up, hip hop machismo and mind numbing fantasy that more subtle humor isn’t even registering on the collective radar.
Sadly, Guest, Shearer and McKean seem to have been banished to the remotest fringe, where they await the next renaissance….
