Tiger's Back...The Good Life is Over

The new Nike ad promoting the return of Tiger Woods is pretty good I must say. I was a little surprised at first that all these other golfers would be in a commercial basically outlining how they can never beat Tiger, but hey we all know it's true.

Tiger Woods' return to golf is cheering up fans, broadcasters and corporate sponsors such as Nike. The only ones bummed are Woods' fellow Nike Golf endorsers Anthony Kim, Stewart Cink, Trevor Immelman, Justin Leonard and Carl Pettersson, who realize the fun's over for them.

That's the lighthearted premise of a new Nike Golf TV commercial celebrating Woods' return to action at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship this week in Marana, Ariz. [via USAToday]

At Least I'm Better Than Charles Barkley

This has no real relevance to anything new or exciting but I just wanted to post to point out how terrible Charles Barkley's golf swing is. The man was able to play in the NBA at the top of the league for years so you would think his God given natural abilities would allow him to swing a club and look mildly coordinated. Luckily, this is not the case. We all have certain things we excel at and certain things we are for whatever reason pretty bad at...you would think he would realize golf is not just for him, but then again he doesn't realize he's not that hot of a gambler either.

David Elsewhere

Proof once again that YouTube can lead to stardom. Check out this guy.

David "Elsewhere" Bernal (born August 2, 1979) is an illusionary dancer from Santa Ana, California. He became known through a viral video clip (Often titled Kolla2001) of himself dancing to Kraftwerk's song Expo 2000 recorded at the Korean-American talent show Kollaboration in 2001.

The clip showcased Bernal's characteristic take on the contemporary dance styles of popping and abstract waving. Performances of these dances were rare at the time, and the clip became very popular when it circulated on the internet — so popular that in November 2006 the viral marketing company, The Viral Factory, collated page-impression figures from websites such as YouTube and Google Videos. They determined that, as of November 2006, this video had been viewed over 200 million times, making it the 8th most viewed video.

Bernal was later hired to participate in advertisements for Heineken (dancing to "Cobrastyle" by the Teddybears), Volkswagen, iPod, 7-Eleven Slurpee, Pepsi and Doritos. He also made a cameo appearance in the movie You Got Served and TV performances including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. [Wikipedia]
