This is probably not the way you want to imaging yourself coming up with your next tagline but New York comedian Kevin Froleiks is certainly having fun with it. Hopefully none of his taglines will ever see the light of day. Except, of course, for the douchebag one.

We've seen some pretty interesting work from the publishing industry over the past few years but this recent video from author Simon Spurrier whose novel, A Serpent Uncoiled, didn't sell to well when it first cam out is quite unique. It's an onslaught of ingeniously made up swear words to illustrate his anger over his book launch falling flat and to shamelessly call attention to the release of the paperback version. Great stuff! Give it a watch.

This seems like a lot of work just to make people aware of the fact you're a company that comers to your home and fixes your furnace, your leaky pipes and all other forms of home tragedy.

French lingerie brand Etam has been threatened with legal action after it hired three models to enter Paris museum Musee d'Orsay, drop their coats and parade around the museum in their underwear. The models, who were filmed (which is prohibited inside the museum), wander around the museum a bit and then drop their coats. They then run and giggle to the amusement of museum goers.
The threesome also pulled similar stunts at the Eiffel Tower and at the Charles de Gaulle airport. Musee d'Orsay has requested the brand remove the videos from its website (it appears they have) but we all know once video hits the web it lives on forever for all to see.

Copyranter shares an interesting new "commercial" from LG. It's really quite brilliant and does a nice job highlighting the product's primary feature. Though we're not quite sure LG would actually want you to do what the guy in this video does.
