Sleek, Sexy, Fast Beast - Introducing the 2009 Nissan 370Z

Here's a peak at the new Nissan 370Z, which will debut officially at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show. The look is smoother and more organic than the current model. Nissan has yet to confirm what changes it's made beneath the metal, but it's safe to assume from the name alone that the larger 3.7-liter V6 from the Infiniti G37 will reside under that new hood. In the… Continue

So welcome everyone and see you in video! (This clip will stay in our About… Continue

The new Pepsi challenge: Obama v. Coca-Cola



I can't help but think Obama when I see the new Pepsi logo. Is it subliminal? Is Pepsi pseudo-secretly wanting Obama in the White House? And will all Republicans drink Coke from now on? Coke is going to change their logo in support of McCain and will change their basic waves into waves of deceit *snicker*…

Trick or treat, Smell my feet, Goodwill's ad just can't be beat.

I can't help but laugh everytime this ad comes on. The message really sticks. New animated Halloween commercial from a campaign for Goodwill of Southern California created by The Miller Group, Los Angeles, CA. Characters illustrated by Andy Mueller and animated by Mind Over Eye of Santa Monica.

My favorite one is the vampire and the last character.

During this rough economy, why splurge on a costume this Halloween when you can put together a pretty good one at…

A Little Kitschy But Also Pretty Cool: Fujiya & Miyagi at the Troubadour Oct 30th

How do we feel about Fujiya & Miyagi? Ok so maybe they're a little spastic but I love when artists push the envelope. Plus, you have to love a band that's named after a character in the movie The Karate Kid as well and a brand of a record player! They're actually an English band that formed in 2000. You could definitely see that they were influenced both by… Continue
