Funny RE/MAX For Sale Sign

This is some brilliant marketing. To spice up a listing that has gone stale for months, Jake Palmer, a RE/MAX agent based in Saint John in the Canadian province of New Brunswick, decided to use humor to attract prospective buyers.

Harlem Shake Video Actually Worth Watching

If you’re like me, you’ve seen one to many worthless “Harlem Shake” videos. I do think you’ll feel a bit differently after watching this one from a Netherlands-based Parkinson’s Disease foundation. In the video, we see the foundation’s founder (who has Parkinson’s) do his best to Harlem Shake.

The video, created by Saatchi & Saatchi Amsterdam, ends not as you would expect and with the tagline, “Shaking. Fun For Some…Daily Struggle For Others.”

The Best Superbowl Ad of 2013

This year was a pretty disappointing year for Super Bowl ads, but one commercial for Dodge stood out. Here it is.

The late Paul Harvey’s famed “So God Made A Farmer” voice-over was from a speech he gave in 1978 at the National FAA Convention.

The mention of God in the ad of course set a lot of people off. Too bad. It was a beautiful ad.
