Conan has found a viral gem with this one. Shatner, who was magnificent in reading Sarah Palin’s tweets keeps it in the family with this round and once again nails it. LM.AO.
This is a great video. It’s more art than it is commercial. The concept behind the project is worth checking out as well: http://ilovelocalcommercials.com/
I believe that there is a brilliance in everyday things that we often miss simply because we’re not looking for it or because it’s not a part of our daily existence. This video captures part of that for me.
Whether this video sells more mobile homes is moot, really. It’s more of a look at a slice of America not too many people on the Web see. You could argue that there’s an element of exploitation here and stereotyping that isn’t fair to the people who are just trying to make a living; but I think that is an over-sensitive viewpoint.
This “commercial” is more like a brief look into another part of our world and is powerfully and well done. What do you think?
Now that’s LOVE.

Ran into these guys on the train. They win Halloween.
Wow
I love this. Very funny. Although if MySpace is your distraction I suggest that you may have larger problems.
According to some astounding numbers from comScore, online video is surging as 8.9 billion videos were viewed by 120.3 million U.S. citizens in July. That’s over 1/3 of the entire U.S. population. Just as astounding is that over 21 billion videos were viewed on the Internet according to the new numbers.
These numbers are becoming more and more staggering by the passing month. When video views surpassed core search queries on the big three engines at 14 billion I viewed that as a watershed moment. Clearly, we were just getting started as now videos are climbing to heights that dwarf monthly search activity.
Video is booming - whether it’s viral hits, iphone 3Gs movies, or corporate brand pieces like the ones we make at TurnHere - companies that find a way to engage and connect with customers in this new video-centric Web will win. No doubt about it.
