Speechless #18 is the most-subcribed on YouTube this week!

I knew it was a good sign when the AMPTP resorted to buying full-page newspaper ads last week. Because you know who has to buy full-page newspaper ads? People who have grounded tankers spilling crude into a bay. People who have stepped in it. Even the font looked guilty. We're in a negotiation over the digital future, and they take out a newspaper ad? Maybe these guys actually can't figure out the Internet. And speaking of that ad, this video by Tim Carvell shows you the reality of digital download residuals:

Let's hope when conglomerates waddle back to the table on 11/26 they bring more than an "imaginary offer."

Will I Am (and friends) recorded a song/video inspired by Barack Obama's "Yes, We Can" speech. Obama clearly inspires folks in a way that many candidates can't really match. This is an interesting phenomenon to watch.

...and well, from the profound to, uh, ObamaGirl is back with another hit at 1.9Million views already.

rondo (rahn'-do) verb. 1. To smoothly move between large objects with dexterity and purpose. 2. To remove an object quickly without being detected. 3. To create a distraction followed by a swift change of direction.

Usage example: I just rondo'd some potato chips off my co-worker's desk. I'm such a Ninja.

Word history: The word was created by the folks at Reebok for their new viral marketing campaign featuring [SHOCK ALERT!!] the Boston Celtics' Rajon Rondo. And without further ado, here are the videos (note the brilliant cameos by Dee Brown and Jo Jo White):

Big thanks to Peter Rader and Hollywood Interrupted for this visit with The Simpsons crew picketing outside Fox!

Every network that shows sporting events has music for certain sports. Right now we will look over some of the bone chilling music that gets us excited and ready to watch the sports that we love! No matter what the sport.

The Masters on CBS
The Masters isn't on CBS anymore, but here is the full length version of CBS's theme song for the annual Masters in Augusta, GA. The music is great, they don't play the guy singing for their actual theme song on TV, but I could only find the full version of the old CBS Masters Theme Song. One of my favorites...

Irv Brecher will be 94 next month, but he's sharp as a tack and mad as hell. He joined one of the precursor guilds to the WGA in 1938. And he's still waiting for writers to get a fair deal.

Here it is, in all its glory: the 30 minute Two Towers, as written and performed by the Dartmouth Forensic Union and the Dartmouth Physics Department.

That's me as Gandalf, Faramir, a few random orcs, and the stunt double for Sam.

I'm impressed.

WGA and SAG members came to the Teamsters Rally in San Diego to show our solidarity with the Teamsters.

"United we stand; divided we beg."

In just the latest example of creatives having a crush on Obama, will.i.am has dropped another video in support of Barack (just under 200,000 hits on YouTube a day after posting).

To me, these videos show that the most powerful message in Barack's campaign may not be "change" or even "hope", but rather "WE". The power of community is what has propelled this campaign, and efforts like this show how devoted that community is and what it's willing to do to further the cause.

Will be curious to see if this one manages to sustain the kind of buzz and popularity that Yes We Can did. But either way, good PR to have just before the contests in Ohio and Texas next week.

2007 NCAA Tournament Memories and Highlights

For all you undecided voters out there who have yet to join the Obama camp, here's some more of the inspiration you need.

Hate it or love it, it's still pretty amazing to me that something which started as a joke has managed to maintain attention for such a prolonged period of time.

And for those who missed it, peep the return of Obama Girl just before the Iowa Caucus (1.3 million hits on YouTube and counting), when she received a pep talk from none other than Truman Girl.
