The more I see this campaign, the more I like it. Colonial Williamsburg launched a TV campaign to increase tourism by positioning a trip as one that “stays with you.” A family returns from visiting Colonial Williamsburg with an additional houseguest: a Colonial man. The guest uses quill pens, curls his hair with a curling iron and gives a young boy a pillory set for his birthday, which will be handy if he visits future leather bars. See it here. …

Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s launched a Super Bacon Cheeseburger that’s so beefy, it opted to steer clear of having scantily clad women chow down.

Where should I begin with "The Dog Goldberg Machine," an adorable video from Beneful? I wonder how many takes were shot until perfection was achieved.

Hoff is surrounded by clear water, atop a mountain, singing about this 99-cent drink that will keep him cool in the summer. He hang-glides, …

I wish this brave volunteer yelled Kelly Clarkson’s name after every wax strip was removed. Toronto is a smoother place, now that Fuzz Wax Bar made street waxing a thing. A guy walked naked throughout a weekend festival, clad only in wax strips from chest to legs. Strangers were invited to rip a strip off this poor soul, and they did, in droves.
