I couldn’t leave you guys for the day with the devastating news that we’ll need to actually watch Jonah Hex to get our Megan Fox fix (say that 3 times fast, and I bet you say “I want to f**k Megan Fox- I know I couldn’t say it once without that slip-up).
This dose of cuteness comes via Freshness, who let us know that this mini replica shoebox is now available at NikeTowns and Nike specialty shops. You have your choice of LeBron James, Tiger Woods and other Nike athletes on the actual gift card.
Again proving that they’re better at making ads than Tiger is at being married, Nike just dropped this, well, perfect ad for Eldrick’s return to the links tomorrow at the Masters. It’s graceful and evocative, basically everything that Tiger hasn’t been in th etwo times he’s stepped to the mic since his scandal broke late last year, which is why instead of the golfer speaking for himself, the ad uses his deceased father’s voice.
It’s nice to see Nike Marketing (and Weiden + Kennedy?) are at the top of their game- the world will be watching tomorrow to see if Tiger’s on his game.
Proving it’s not how you start, but how you finish (and how good you look doing it), Keri Hilson flubbed a couple lines in the middle of the Star Spangled banner at the Hawks game last night. I always find it interesting to listen to the crowd’s reaction, and although she lost them at one point, she def. got them beck! [RapRadar]
Vanity Fair is dropping a story that indicates the people around Tiger thought Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan were bad influences on the golfer. Seeing as those same advisers molded Tiger’s public persona on MJ’s (down to the Gatorade and Nike endorsements), they really just needed to be advising him on how to do the Jordan Shrug. “Tiger, what do you have to say about the dozen women who claim you had sex with them?” *Jordan Shrug*[WithLeather]
This video might be old to the 500,000 people who saw it in the last two days, but it’s new to me. This little boy gets his hopes and dreams of being one of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” dashed by his dad, who later admits to being a terrible father. I’m pretty sure he’s talking about the fact that he’s shooting YouTube videos while driving at freeway speeds. [Guyism]
Ole Miss students looking to replace their “Colonel Reb” mascot with something a little less reminiscent of racism, civil war and the destruction of our nation have found an ally in George Lucas. Admiral Ackbar, a minor character in Return of the Jedi famous for his “It’s a Trap!” line, is currently leading in a poll to replace the Colonel, apparently with Lucasfilm, Inc.’s approval. As an Admiral in the Galactic Rebellion, not only does the rebel theme live on, but he totally outranks a measly Colonel. [NYTimes]
The Eight Stages of Beer Drinking. I try to shoot for a “5″ every weekend. [Guyism]
Before the Purple tape, and maybe even before “Only Built for Cuban Links…” had a title, Loud dropped this promo cassette featuring some Raekwon favorites, including a rare “Mad Izm” freestyle where he shouts out his “followers” – they had twitter in ‘94? [TROY]
Some hero has invented and released “TigerText”, an iPhone app that allows you to send texts to your jumpoffs without the message being stored on your or her phone. God Bless America. [Black Web 2.0]
Kim Kardashian (pictured above wearing shoulder and knee pads because she doesn’t understand how watching a football game works) was on hand to celebrate her boyfriend Reggie Bush’s Super Bowl victory. Here’s a joke I’m working on: Reggie Bush and Lamar Odom are in a bar, looking at their respective ladies, Kim and Khloe Kardashian. Reggie says, “You know, Lamar, this is the first time I’ve seen a second-place trophy taller than the grand prize.” [Celebrity Gossip]
The best ad during the Super Bowl was the little kid who slaps the guy who wants to eat his mama Doritos. I personally like to think he slapped him for saying “down pack” instead of “down pat”. (My mom is an English teacher and used to slap me for using malapropisms) [YouTube]
Google aired a pretty good commercial during the game , but this one would’ve been better. [Sneak Hype]
Jay and Rihanna redid “Run this Town” for a Super Bowl XVI promo. I like to think that Jay just walked away with the Lombardi Trophy used in the video, and Sean Payton slept with a replica last night. [Splash]
