Man Alive!

The Old Spice Man isn’t just on a horse anymore – he’s on YouTube!

Literary Levis

Since it looks like I won’t be getting my reviewing act together this week, here’s another installment of me highlighting commercials/ad campaigns I really enjoy.

Um WOW

For those of you who don’t get here via Facebook, some exciting news: Yesterday broke the record for per day views of Melted Brain. By +29.

There will be no new episodes of network shows on Thursday night. HOWEVER, There are still good things to watch. FOX will be [...]
