Yes, bikini Ewok-pillow fights, gaseous carbonite thawing, it certainly looks like “… a fantastic adventure through time, space, and the boundaries of good taste.” Again.
This makes the trifecta for Family Guy Star Wars specials. Re-watch the other trailers here: See the rest »
Wow. 57 references and do any get the original quote exactly right?

Even more impressive than a first like iPad-as-owners-manual, or a VO from Jeff Bridges, is how the new Equus glovebox can actually fit an iPad. Mine barely holds a glove. Maybe that’s ‘cuz it’s Swarovski encrusted?
While every Equus comes with a 16GB WiFi Apple iPad you don’t have to own the car to get the app, download it free on iTunes. But it might make more sense if you did.
Nice work from Jera Mehrdad and team at Innocean Worldwide. Music from Future Perfect.

‘Tis the season to use the word ‘tis. And for advertisers to attempt a new twist on the holiday commercial cliché choir. Here we’ve got bras versus beer bottles. What’s your fave?
The La Senza lingerie Cup Size Choir even has an online component where you can use your keyboard to play the girls. Bonus points.
Grolsch has assembled “some of the world’s leading musicians” to use their iconic swingtop bottles in a rendition of ‘Oh, Christmas Tree.” Bonus points for using the umlauted güiro instrument. (via AdFreak)

Doesn’t matter if you’re in advertising, design, or freakin’ basket weaving. The most successful are usually the most self-disciplined. In short, the ones who “do it and get it done … no fuckin’ around.” Wise words.

With the new Daft Punk video and soundtrack finally out, along with the final Legacy trailers, there’s not much new to expect before the 17th. So it’s a good time to mine the original Tron to pass the time. Here’s a couple easter eggs you may or may not’ve caught. Yes, they’re both real.

Between Santa‘s mittened-finger devil horns and the ümlauted subtitle, this Spiced Doüble Alt poses itself as one badass brew. The only improvement would be Santa riding one of these. But like the ümlaut it’s, uh, unnecessary. The damn beer’s giving a hat tip to Slayer!
Ninkasi‘s Sleigh’r pours a dark ruby red and smells of sweet molasses and malt.
It finishes woodsy and sweet. Let it warm up a little to let the richness (and the 7.2% ABV) truly rock out. A very welcome winter warmer.
