forest people who dance in tight clothes

Sep 3, 2010 music, online humor

I don’t really have any other way to describe this video. It’s so awesomely bizarre I had to share it with you. In fact, I’d rank it right up there with Helen Reddy’s “I Am Woman” as far as musical anthems go. Enjoy!

Leslie Hall rocks!

How Not to Teach a Language

Aug 27, 2010 online humor

This has got to be one of the most bizarre videos I’ve ever seen.  It’s an instructional video teaching Japanese people how to speak English. But it’s done like an exercise video.  I don’t know…it’d be easier for you to watch it, then for me to describe it.

And what is that guy in the blue shirt wearing on his head??

mom needs to shave

Dec 10, 2009 online humor

I’m getting used to the somewhat questionable ads on Facebook, but this one really made me take another look…

Now, I’m not one to judge on looks, but I think this mom needs a good shave.

From a Michigan Kroger’s sales ad:

I’m not sure I want to know the ingredients of that margarine spread. On the bright side, it is on sale at 10 for $10, so if you need it, now’s the time to stock up, I guess.

Came across this hilarious video of a stormtrooper getting down to Britney Spears’ song “Circus” and thought I’d share with you.

Some pretty interesting moves for a Stormtrooper, eh?

if you want my body and you think I’m sexy…

Dec 19, 2008 online humor

The above is a screencap from a new website touting Burger King’s supposed new fragrance, “Flame,” which is scented to recreate the way their flame-broiled burgers smell hot off the grill.

Scenes of love and romance are backed by bad 70’s style porn music as one pumps the cologne spray to flip between scenarios. And this is one of three or four fireplace settings.

It was bad enough watching those ads where the Burger King is in bed handing over a breakfast sandwich or running through a meadow in love. But naked in front of a fire? That’s just disturbing in so many ways. I mean, I can’t even look at the body with that plastic head right there.

However from a pr point-of-view, it’s a great campaign because it gets people to talk about your product.  Not sure it’s the right image to project – and not to nitpick, but this is an ad campaign better suited to Valentine’s Day than Xmas – but it’s very memorable.

If you want to experience the Burger King in all of his seductive glory, head over to firemeetsdesire.com.
