oh baby

i dunno. seems like that much water displacement would take a while.. I want my pool now! And what would you use the room for otherwise?

Dude, if you are rich enough for that I bet you don't need the extra room and probably have another pool in the yard.

ingenuity? yes. Bullshit? yes.

agreed.

This reminded me of the Swindon Magic Roundabout (aerial map)

Which basically reinforces the observation I make twice a day: People are absolutely incapable of driving at a consistent speed.

^ you can shorten that a little; (some) people are incapable of driving.

nice.

As usual, YouTube comments never cease to amuse: "this is so fake...where did he pick up the gloves from in the beginning? mid-air? dont think so "

Yes, this commercial is ... fake?

Because those kids make good shit.

Besides, I was working at 15. Is this that terrible?

Were you working 50-60 hours a week in a factory though? If these kids are doing 10 hours/week after school to make money to pay for their WoW subscription, that's one thing, but I doubt that's the case.

No, but probably 20+ hours. In a lot of cultures 15 is adult age...I don't see the big deal or why this is newsworthy.

^ I think it probably has to do with the dissonance that our notions of child labour create when held up against Apple's corporate image.

Who cares? We gots the gold!!!!!

Made from recycled Apple products, therefore made by child labour! Boooooooo!

Haha!

What? Were they playing charades? Is this French?

lol!! I'd say the point of a public service ad is to get a point across, and this does the job very well, no?

It's obviously very manipulative and dramatic, but it's designed to be..

i liked it - minimal, creative, and well performed.

Agreed, I too thought it was really good. Cute, effective, simple. I don't mind that kind of emotional manipulation when it is trying to encourage responsibility and safety, and not trying to get me to ask my doctor about big dick pills or the like.

meh, i found it confusing (what are they doing? charades? what's the analogy of the family acting as seatbelts? what?) and overly sentimental. Plus, slo-mo HD with melancholy music is like the new 'whuzzup'.

Wow. That was awesome.

What makes somebody a Social Media Specialist?

Let me tell you. You must have no discernable skillset. You would have some sort of liberal arts undergrad degree. You have an aversion to work, physical or otherwise, and would enjoy the freedom and lack of responsibility that this position offers (because no one will actually know what you're supposed to be doing or what your results should be). You must love cruising facebook, playing farmville, tweeting about your banal life (especially shopping and reality tv) and attending 'social media events' where you and a small group of 'influencers' will gather to gossip, drink and take numerous photos of each other and tweet them in real time.

This is what I suspected.

You must also have a standing invitation (that you tweet about at least twice a week) to have coffee on Friday afternoons at Starbucks with anyone who wants a "free social media consultation", where you will ask them generic questions about their business, and then make them sit around while you listen to yourself talk for an hour (or however long it takes them to fake an important call or engagement and get the fuck out).

p.s. true story

p.p.s. Sassy if the job pays 80k a year, I'll take it! ;-)

^^^ holy fuck that is accurate. Farmville, check; Twitter every 10 min, check; you're hired!

Hey, I worked with an office full of these 'experts' for 9 months. *SHUDDER*

hilarious!

What's the gig pay?
