MY SONG! MY DUDE! MY GIRL!
(Source: twitter.com)
A girl named Kasey is tricked by a friend into showing up on a bridge in Central Park, where a band sneaks up behind her and starts playing her favorite song, as her boyfriend, Frank, rows up beneath her and throws her an engagement ring.
The whole time, a team with four iPhones and at least one Mac laptop is in position, shooting everything from various angles using a “special iPhone app.” They never say the name of the app, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this turns into a viral ad for it. As CNET’s Chris Matyszczyk wrote in a recent blog post, there are plenty of things in this ad — I mean, wedding proposal video — that don’t feel believable.More: Was This iPhone-Powered Marriage Proposal Really a Viral Ad? - Urlesque
Then balloon boy’s dad made this video/product.
This video has managed to collect all of the DUMBEST arguments I have heard regarding Prop 19 and the legalization of marijuana into one Greatest Hits list. I actually completely respect people who make the argument “I just like to smoke weed and want to be able to do so legally.” That argument makes sense to me. The argument I can’t handle is the “It will help the budget! It will create jobs! It will reduce dropouts, prison overcrowding, and crime! It will put drug dealers out of business! It will free up the police to do more important stuff!” The appearance of scary six-shooter-brandishing Mexicans in ponchos, sombreros, and mustaches at 1:45 is exactly the hilariously ignorant crap I expected from this video. The whole video is just not correct.
I’m not getting political but I hate dumb people. ESPECIALLY dumb Californians. Just something about them makes them insufferable.
Don’t be dumb.
Be Less Stupid
I think Teddy Wayne, from GQ’s The Verge, pretty much nailed what The Awl is about when he called it “the irreverent, all-purpose, media/culture/politics/think-piece/bear-video clusterfuck of a Web site edited by Choire Sicha and Alex Balk.”
And don’t forget to give Cho some credit too.
