Oh, there’s been some really great stuff going around Facebook this week, so grab a Diet Coke and a donut (yes, I’m a bad influence), take a break and enjoy.
Let’s start with these brilliant new commercials for HBO Go. Considering we watched the should-have-been-X-rated-but-nobody-told-us Starlet together as a family, I bet my kids will totally relate. Here’s one of my favorites:
You can watch the rest of the series here: http://www.adweek.com/news/advertising-branding/ad-day-watching-sex-scenes-your-parents-weird-says-hbo-157155 (sorry, you’ll have to copy/paste until I can get the link working again)
You know the song, Cups, by Anna Kendrick? Well, this girl does an amazing version of Lorde’s Royals accompanied by just, well, a cup. If you think this is easy, just try it yourself!
Last month, Honey Maid Graham Crackers launched “This Is Wholesome” — a commercial that featured a same-sex couple. The company received a lot of hate mail from members of the religious right who apparently didn’t think the commercial lived up to its name. Honeymaid put together this awesome response which just makes me want s’more.
And, I’m sorry but I am still so blown away by this that if you missed my post about The Lois Club the other day, I hope you’ll at least check out the Lois Fight Song. Yes, the Lois Fight Song! OMG!
