DC Shoes Founder Ken Block Makes a Viral Vid on Drifting

[via AdFreak]

Anyone can talk about making a "viral video," but the reality is that it takes a lot of great content, planning and hard work to make it happen. That's why it's no surprise that more than 16 million viewers have watched this clip produced for rally racer Ken Block, DC Shoes and Subaru. This stunning display of Block's driving is packed with mind-blowing stuff, and you don't have to be a "Tokyo Drift" fan to enjoy the show. "Ken approached us in early 2008 with the idea of co-producing a viral web film that would showcase his driving skills on tarmac, and put the sport of Gymkhana (pronounced 'jim-ka-nah') on the map here in the U.S.," writes marketing agency Mad Media on its site. "We worked with Ken over the course of 6 months to develop his idea into a practical shot list, and secured the El Toro Marine Base for location shooting. After two days of intense filming, and several weeks of editing, we delivered the final Gymkhana Viral Web Film." The result was more than 10 million views on KenBlockRacing.com, 4 million views on YouTube and many more on other video sites since the clip was posted in November 2008. Only 15 million views to go before they catch up to that damn sneezing panda.

Heineken Walk In Fridge Commercial

Just took a look at the new Heineken ad that has been spreading around the internet like crazy. I don't have the credits on the ad yet but once I get some more info I'll make sure to post it. Anyway a great ad, both men and women's dreams come true in this one. Enjoy.

Jerry Seinfeld? Churro?

Ad Age only gives the new Microsoft Shoe Circus video with Bill Gates & Jerry Seinfeld 2 stars but for whatever reason I think it's funny in a goofy way. I like the ad, maybe because it just seems so against anything typical of Microsoft. It pretty much makes no real sense in relation to any products (unless they really are coming out with a line of computers made of cake)but what the hell. Check it out:



Note: In case you didn't notice and/or understand where the picture on Bill Gate's Shoe Circus Platinum Member card was from, go here

Also of Note: UFC Lightheavyweight fighter Rashad Evans wore a t-shirt with this same mugshot on it this past weekend during his walkout to the Octagon before his knockout victory against Chuck Liddell. Random coincidence?

Nike Produces 350 Air McFlys

From an article on Yahoo! Buzz, Nike debuted the Air McFly in 1989 when Back to the Future 2 came out. Apparently, ever since consumers saw the shoes in the film, which took place largely in 2015, people have been begging Nike to produce the shoe for everyone. Nike has apparently given in, but not in the sense that people want.

The new move (making the shoes) was announced at an event recently, where Kobe Bryant pulled up in a DeLorean to showcase the kicks. Fans lined the streets, but unfortunately only 350 pairs of the shoes were made, so many went home dissapointed. However, good news! The shoes are currently selling on ebay....for $1000 bucks a pop.....ouch
