Arrrrr

Well it seems that pirating has become a worthwhile business again, its a while since there has been a pirate article in the news, but I'm sure after these guys made off with a $1.2m after holding a tuna boat to ransom there will be a few more stories in the news. Full story here

Imposters

Having recently seen this advert

Which is a blatant copy of this music video

It got me thinking, I wonder how many other blatant rip offs I could think of, then I remembered this

Which is obviously stolen from the mighty boosh

This is probably the biggest reason to never rip something off, not only does it never look or work as well as the original but when people always find out your work always suffers greatly. So here's to originality. Can anyone else think of any more?

Voting and stuff..

A fantastic bit of apathy for all you non voters, now you truly have something to not get behind.

Move on dot org

I happened to bump into moveon.org this morning while reading my emails and I started to have a read. Basically they are an american website that aims at getting people move involved with politics through various things. One of this things has been its '...in 30 seconds" campaigns.

Basically they challenged the public to create 30 second political adverts, on a theme so currently they are doing "Barack Obama in 30 seconds" but what seems really refreshing is they are not worried about which way you present your video, it can be for or against or unsure anything really and that lead to some really interesting videos for "Bush in 30 seconds" last year.

Here's the very powerful winning one

I thought it was really interesting and yet simple advert so head on over to their site or their youtube to learn more or have a look at some more video's.

Enjoy
