Beirut Duty Free Rocks Airport

Ballsy advertising. M&C Saatchi pulls a 2009 T-Mobile flash mob, advertising for Beirut Duty Free in Beirut's airport. In March, 2011. I still dont know how I feel about creating a commercial mob amidst all the other mobbing going on in the Middle East. But hats off to Saatchi for pulling this fun one off.

The Earth is So COOL! The Aurora

"I spent a week capturing one of the biggest aurora borealis shows in recent years....Shot in and around Kirkenes and Pas National Park bordering Russia, at 70 degree north and 30 degrees east. Temperatures around -25 Celsius. Good fun." - Terje Sorgjerd

James Blake - The Wilhelm Scream

The 'Wilhelm Scream' is a Hollywood sound effect, often used when someone is stabbed, shot, falls from a great height, or anything traumatic/tragic of that nature. It's become a Hollywood inside joke, referencing the scene when a character named Wilhelm (from the 1953 western film The Charge at Feather River) painfully cries out after he's shot by an arrow.

James Blake's song/video does not in fact contain the Wilhelm Scream, yet seems to perfectly capture it by winding it down in slow-motion, revealing that tragic pain frame-by-frame, beat-by-beat. The disoriented, hazy, all-encompassing sense of loss -- anyone who's ever had their own Wilhelm Scream can relate.
