It Started With A Simple Sentence

This first line really just sums up what is wrong with this CGM contest:

Create a video proclaiming your love for Pizza Hut pizza!

Umm...sure... yeah i love it....gimme 25K!!!

Oy.

UCAM-User Created Actual Media

This just in. Some model dude in Switzerland submits himself in a Gucci ad to a local newspaper and asks the paper to bill Gucci directly. Here's the catch, they did it.

Vidfiti Rears It's Head

Vidavee Graffiti allows anyone to put effects, titles, animations and more over any existing video to create their own version of the video. Copyright be darned! So not only do you have to worry about consumers blogging bad things about your vids, now they can add their commentary to the vids themselves. Now this could get fun.....

Lost Fans Like To Eat

Like Lost? Like Peanut Butter? Why not eat the peanut butter featured on Lost? Since it currently does not exist, some die-hard fans created the labels as PDFs for download and now you can apply to all your favorite brands. Everything from Crisps to Beer and their generic style descriptions are available to you.

Product line anyone?

Diet Coke Jumps In...A Year Too LAte

In today's Media Daily News they mention how Coke has finally bought into the Mentos/DC phenom.  Ummmmmmm  a little late? And the Eepybird guys are helping. They are looking for other interesting uses for common day objects (not dissimilar to a recent post). The latest DC/Mentos experiments, while interesting, still seem kind of done.

Coke's Poetry In Motion project is offering a prize of being an extra on yet another DC/Mentos experiment in Maine. Uhhhh any takers?

Some good ole Friday .... I have no idea...

Sleeping With Fedex

I always find it interesting when people find alternate uses for common objects. Especially when those objects are made out of branded items.  Need a spare mattress for your pop-in sleepovers? How about the Fedex bed? Maybe about a couch made of Carlo Rossi wine jugs is what your living room needs? A coat hanger made from Atari Joysticks? And who knew that Listerine is a top-notch toe fungus remover?!

I am just putting this out there... i do have about 17 cans of empty dust remover air spray as well as about 300 old cliff bars (don't ask) looking for remixation.

Any takers?

Bud.Tv.Lame

Bud.tv looks kind of ...eh.

and it is already under fire.

Oh yeah, it also cost an estimated 30,000,000.

Blackshaw's Top Ten

ClickZ's Pete Blackshaw blogged yesterday about his top ten articles that every CMO should read. He focuses many of the articles on CGM and putting the power into the hands of the consumer. It is a good primer for someone who is interested in the space. How could you not pay attention to someone who uses the phrase Blogubberance?

History That Never Happened

Originally seen on Boing Boing, this is a photo mash-up contest where users are encouraged to create historical/antique images that never happened using their best photoshopping techniques.  The famed Chicken coach for one at left.

I love how modern technology more and more allows for that which never was done to become faux-reality. As we create our future in the way we see fit, leave it to us to re-create the past as well.
