Could you imagine if a candidate made a version of this ad updated for terrorism? My my how times have changed.

I came across this ad because Tony Schwartz, the creator of this ad, died on Saturday.

I almost fell out of my chair when Michelle gave Barack a pound before last night’s speech.

My first thought: “Wow… that’s amazing…”

My second thought: “Who has that much free time?”

After watching this short twice, I still can’t wrap my brain around how the actors managed to get so many of the facial expressions and movements right since, to make this short, the actors had to do everything backwards (the film was then reversed in post production).

Happy Hallmark.

Enjoy this parody of the Will.i.am video for Barack.

I haven’t been one for music videos since the mid 80s when my momma turned off MTV one day after she came home and my brother and I were watching MTV Spring Break (I think it had something to do with all of the women in bikinis).

Thanks to my friends Quy and Tony I have been recently introduced to Bjork’s Volumen, a DVD of 14 of her videos. They are nearly all excellent, mini movies really. However, special attention must be paid to the handful of videos directed by Michel Gondry of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Chappelle Block Party fame. His videos on this collection are simply stunning. Spike Jonze takes his turn on this DVD as well.

One video missing from this DVD is the award winning video for All Is Full Of Love directed by Chris Cunnigham. Check it out.
