I find it hilarious how people still believe in human caused global warming. I disproved it pretty easily for a thesis for my physics degree. We humans think we are so important that we can alter nature. The truth is FAR from this.
Uh... huh.
I'm guessing that's one degree they didn't get.
I'd love to see his equations though. I bet they'd be quite the giggle!

I'm just going to address the Elephant In The Room for best advertising ever so we can get it out of the way.
Only commercial that ever made me want to buy something, and by god is it good deodorant, I get compliments on it all the time.

Wait, you never heard about the Old Spice advertisements that absolutely SATURATED every form of media imaginable through memetic mutation? How is that possible?

Not exactly a great advert, but it's funny to see how seriously youtube takes it.  Wait a second...

Not great, just notable. Why it was aired in the first place is an absolute mystery to me.

Korea laughs at your silly foreign copyright laws!

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

We may not be as brave as Gryffindor, as willing to get our hands dirty as Hufflepuff, or as devious as Slytherin, but there is nothing, nothing more dangerous than a little too much knowledge and a conscience that is open to debate

The teacher asked the students to draw the first thing that came to them, the boy decided that he would put the rest of the class to shame and made a life sized drawing of a whale.

In a lot of ways that reminded me of a dwarf going into a fey mood.

I wouldn't say it was a conscious decision. Pretty cool ad though.

Also, last one, I'm profoundly amazed that this even exists at all...

Agressive mimes are best mimes.

Innocence? This is the Bay Twelve Forums, innocence doesn't come within a ten mile radius of the Bay Twelve Forums. That certainly didn't make me want to buy a sponge, though.

Probably one of the least subtle campaign ads in history.
