Blake Griffin and Ben Gleib are adorable together

Thursday, February 17th, 2011

Blake Griffin took over MySpace today? At least it ensured that one 21-year old visited MySpace today – that’s assuming of course that MySpace made Blake actually go on MySpace to do stuff for them.

I’m not a sports marketing technician, so let’s not belabor the brand alignment here. Also, some of this content is pretty damn sweet. For instance, Blake palling around with comedian Ben Gleib.

Too saccharine for some of you Blake maniacs? Check out this video of what Blake sees when he posterizes someone:

Still too whimsical? Maybe abandon Blake’s MySpace content, and go read this Salon article on the rappers who were on Jimmy Fallon last night, Odd Future – Rape, Murder and SWAG…

Win a date with Jeremy Shockey on Facebook

Monday, April 12th, 2010

I’ll give him credit, sometimes Jeremy Shockey does use Facebook to make a meaningful and positive connection with his fans, and I’m sure his 60,000+ Facebook followers appreciate the effort. Of course, other times he uses Facebook to:

A.) Speak in code (“Cngrts to mickelson.. good 1st tourny back for tiger”)

B.) Play with young girls hearts

Here’s that wall post from Friday that’s both stirring up conversation and embarrassing videos alike:

Ok LADIES heres the contest.. Post a video on the “just fans” section of my fbk fan page explaining why u deserve to have me take u on a date 1 nite this offseason… Contest ends sun night 4/18 at 8pm est… Lets have fun w this so be creative but just be careful its not too inappropriate where fbk deletes it!! good luck!!!

So far, of those 60,000 fans but three ladies have taken him up on this and posted videos. Two are almost unwatchable. The third is :18 seconds of a woman snowboarding in a bikini. She never actually defines herself as a contest entry. She might just be crazy.

With encouragement starting to trickle out from the bloggers – MJD writes, “Good luck, too, to the father out there who receives the following phone call: “Daddy, guess what?! I just won an internet contest to go out on a date with Jeremy Shockey!” – entries should start to pick up.

Become a fan of Shockey on Facebook here, ladies: http://www.facebook.com/Shockey

Good Creative: Puma Hardchorus…

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010
Crooning soccer hooligans singing Savage Garden's "Truly Madly Deeply," and one terrified old bird sitting idly by.

Found via Delete Yourself, the amusing and sexified blog of the creative director at the digital agency that created this video for Puma.

Here's the original track to listen to for anyone who wasn't coherent in 1997 (…or if you need a reason to hate me personally.)
