I liked yesterdays Super Bowl Commercials. I feel they were more creative than in years past, and along with a well played and entertaining game was really captivated by them. I do realize now how biased I am though, because my favorites involved The Simpsons, Google and Sock Monkeys - all things that I love. Here are my favorites, biased or not, I think they are well made and fun to watch.

This video was passed on to me from my friend Sarah and I was impressed in it’s simplicity and strength of message. It won second place in an AARP contest titled “U @ 50″, and was submitted by a 20-year old student. This project enters Palindrome country, not in that the letters are read the same forwards and backwards like in the phrases “Was it a rat I saw?”, “Step on no pets”, or “Sit on a potato pan, Otis”, but that the entire peice is read front to back line by line and changes it’s meaning. I found it to be an impressive and inspirational message.

A great little movie on food waste put together by Whole Foods and Good. It’s fun, simple and little movies like this I feel can have great impact on consumers and our society as a whole.

Tiger’s not having a lot of fun right now with all of his media coverage, but that doesn’t mean you can’t. Play Tiger’s Transgressions a fun little flash game that’s a fun, albeit terrible concept (for humanity anyway). I think 18 holes of this is about perfect for where he’s at in the mistress count, so they should extend it as it now only goes to 9..

A friend of mine saw this during the Vikings/Cowboys match up. Apparently if you don’t use FedEx, you might need some luck making sure it gets there. I think this absolutely a true story.

This video was created to raise Aids awareness in Africa. 156 countries singing “All You Need is Love” by the Beatles. Watch this and stir your soul, (with a boat oar).

Fun to hear another perspective on this late night switcheroo…

There is a movement happening more and more these days I’ve noticed, and that is the process of reinterpreting and reimaging past materials. Like reworking a movie, even a classic like “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, or “Alice in Wonderland”. These movies by Tim Burton aren’t stealing I feel, but reinterpreting into a new medium and new age, for a new audience. Also the remixing of songs, like my New Years post of 25 songs, or this super cool song “Upular” by DJ Pogo using sounds from the movie “UP.” Creative intresting and making something NEW out of something that already existed. I think the imagination and creativity that seems to be flying around now is astounding. Or is it just me?

A nice parody of the “Im on a Boat” song that was done on SNL awhile back. But this time a lot more relevant. That’s right. Sweet.

Sometimes things get crazy with client revisions. How hard could it be to design a stop sign?
