drama, chipmunks, kittens, & south park.

today for Friday Felines, i give to you the best "dramatic" i've yet seen: the dramatic cat.



and if that's not enough drama for you, i give you also the Original Dramatic Chipmunk (prairie dog? gopher? click here for full context) as well as the competitive Dramatic Lemur.

for more ways to waste your friday, take a trip down memory lane to all the "viral" insanity compiled by Internet Memes; go on, you know you want to reminisce with the Hamster Dance, Numa Numa, All Your Base Are, Peanut Butter Jelly Time, Llama Song, and all the rest. and if you need even more funny than that (are you INSANE, MAN?!) revisit the South Park clip/episode where the boys meet the internet stars at the Department of Internet Money on Canada on Strike.

branding kids young

he's adorable.
i wonder if he'll grow up to use geico.

or is there just an association between cave men and small children?
pressing times, pressing questions. haha.

obama girl's viral is contagious. uh...

this was no PR stunt! just a viral phenomenon : )

i just observed an obama girl chat (and you can, too; there are more later this week). there is something to be said for all of this. it may not be a pr stunt, but she knows how to handle it like one:

-- she hosts youtube chats.
(that's a relevant, if unique, way to host the chat.)
-- she gives away one ipod a month.
(last months winner was "jreamer1", 16 hrs ago)
-- she barely answers any questions.
(skirting the issue: a favored past time)

in between offers of marriage, invitations to prom, questions of ethnicity, and requests to perform duets, there was some actual thinking going on...

> Maybe if you did a Rock-n-Roll video you would be able to get your message out to some other people who don't really like R&B or hip hop. Have you thought of something like that...or maybe, even, Country (God forbid).

it shows an awareness that i find amusing and intriguing, in between asking if the poster is not amber (obama girl) but actually an overweight man. people chatting kept wanting proof of it actually being her. truth? we'll never know.

but hey, at least it is far, far better than the mccain girls (don't click it. consider yourself warned.). as i said on adrants, the mccain girls give whole new meaning to no such thing as bad advertising. it is really, really bad. but we're still talking about it.

what does obama girl have to say about them? its very flattering to see all these other girls jumping on the " candidate bandwagon"! ...yeah. points for caring about the country. after mccain, i am afraid to search "hillary girl" and "giuliani girl." i leave that to you.

proof that higher ups need a youth injection.

dear AdAge,

it is nice of you to finally notice a viral vid just last week that has been out since i was in high school. we sang about badgers throughout spanish class and then some. it was right up there with the llama song and material like the end of the world (dang that is a pretty sweet earth--WRONG!) along with a few other savory vids from albinoblacksheep.com and -my- 'childhood.'

i would laugh outrageously if Quiznos did anything of the sort. and i know i'm taking you seriously when i hope i shouldn't be--but even if you're joking, how did you not find this until now? it's been out so long there have been spoofs on spoofs on spoofs on the Badger Mushroom video. like this stellar one with great soundtrack on Harry Potter.

here. let me help you out. maybe this might come back and haunt you as a good idea, Charlie... we've been quoting Candy Mountain for a year.
