Jj sent this incredibly disturbing yet compelling video over the weekend, and I must share it with the world!

Some Pinoy dude posted a video project he made for college in 1999. It's a commercial for "Jonel's Brief" (or brip, if you prefer). A wonderful mix of 80's music, male dancing, and underwear...

Fair warning: the images, music and lyrics may be stuck in your head for quite a while!

Microsoft recently released the latest version of its Windows operating system, Windows Vista. Loaded with new security functions, one of Vista's features is that a security check is made whenever a program is installed or does something that needs Internet access. Vista will ask you if you will allow the process or not.

Of course, this feature makes ripe pickings for Apple to release a new commercial as part of its "Get a Mac" campaign. :)

Enjoy!

I'm not a beer expert, but I can appreciate the humor in beer commercials. The great thing about this one is that it really is a poster boy for truth in advertising! No weird jokes about frogs or guys saying "Waaaaazuuuuup!" Enjoy! :)

Microsoft recently released a game called "Gears of War" for the Xbox 360, and is currently the best-selling game in its line up, selling over 1M copies in a little over a month.

To promote the dark and gritty game, Microsoft created a commercial with visuals from the game with a cover of the Tears for Fears hit, "Mad World" playing in the background.

Ever since the commercial came out, the sales of that version of "Mad World" in the iTunes music store shot up, introducing a new generation of angsty teenagers to New Wave music.

Ok, so probably 90% of those who've seen the commercial or purchased the song don't know who Tears for Fears is. But you never know, maybe Americans will now know Tears for Fears beyond "Everybody Wants to Rule the World".

In a related (yet quirky) note, some people were inspired to use the same "Gears of War" commercial footage with different music. The best 80's homage has to be the one set to the theme song of "The Neverending Story"...

Another brilliant commercial. Maurice Gibb would be proud... or spinning in his grave...

Brilliant. You just have to see this. It's a real commercial. And it's not Paris Hilton.
