Remember how toys used to be dangerous and fun? Remember when toy makers made crap ads and crap toys but you didn’t care because your rich friend on the bus had one of those toys? Remember when using a toy may or may not make you look like you had some sort of handicap? Behold the Swing Wing.

It’s possible you may have seen this video series online.
But if you have not beheld the erratic majesty of a man on a buffalo, you have not begun to live.
Please – quiet the dog.
Send your friends home.
Put down that book.
Whatever you are doing, stop – and cast your eyes upon a dude riding around on a buffalo, doing stuff.

It’s not often that serious health matters can make us really happy and potentially dance. It is also not often that a song by Wilford Brimley would be blasting from your car as you approach a stop light.
Diabetes is no laughing matter, but being educated by Wilford rapping is pretty effective. (Thanks Walter.)

Local television can be great or it can be terrible.
Sometimes, it can be terribly great – like in this example of a local talk show from the early 1980′s.
Just please, take note of the pucker/mullet combo.
It’s like actually watching Summer arrive before your very eyes.

My friend and associate Jody Deming sent this to me.
He said that man in the video below delivered the greatest speech of our time…
…if you were one that dreams of training monkeys to ride dogs.

So go on.
Go on and dream.

What words from this “speech of the ages” touch you the most?

That’s right.
John Jacobson demonstrates his heart for his followers by creating this alternate video.
So Tiffany, to answer your question – yes, there is a back view… and there is a God.
This would also be the point of view of the rabid bear in a tutu.
Right before he mauls you.

Behold.
A dude with a lot of courage and a lot of spunk.
His name is John Jacobson.
He wrote a song called “Planet Rock.”
If the name of his original song doesn’t get you, his original dance moves will.
Especially when it comes to the intricate “Double Dream Hands” maneuver (at :57).
Perform this dance when happy or when pursued by a rabid bear in a tutu.

What were they thinking?

Marketing Guy 1: Well, I’ve got some bad news.  General Mills is not buying this whole [finger quotes] “caveman idea.”
Marketing Guy 2: What do we do?
Marketing Guy 1: Great question, Jenkins.  I have a friend who knows a lot about cigarettes — says that their cool and refreshing menthol is good for your throat — that they are a great way to make you look trendy and fashionable.
Marketing Guy 2: Tell me more, Harvey!
Marketing Guy 1: Keep your suspenders on, Jenkins.  Let’s just get these Flintsone’s cigarette ads knocked out.
Marketing Guy 2: Harvey!  What about Jack Daniels sponsoring the Jetsons?
Marketing Guy 1: Jenkins — I think you are gonna run this place some day.
[Jenkins smiles and puts his gun in his holster as they exit the board room]

What is the worst ad campaign you have ever seen?

I don’t even know what to think about this.
As I was preparing for a video shoot yesterday, I came upon a DVD at a local retailer.
The movie is called At Jesus’ Side.
It is an animated film and it is about Jesus.
I was intrigued.
Mostly because he is on the cover hugging a dog and surrounded by animals that include a giraffe and an elephant.
I turned the DVD over, and here is what it says:

“A sure to become classic animated movie that brings the teachings of Jesus to life for today’s families through the story of five misfit animals on a journey towards love and forgiveness.  Our hero, Jericho, is a vagabond street dog who befriends Jesus and follows him throughout the last week of his life through the resurrection.
After Jesus’ arrest at Gethsemene, Jericho rallies an epic charge of animal friends to try to save Jesus from his fate.”

So.
Yeah.
I have also included the “powerful” trailer for your enjoyment.
