OK GO!: Music Video Fad!

In the big bad world of the music industry, it is sometimes hard for a band to be noticed, firstly, by a record label,but also by the general public. Sometimes they might go for a gimmick like they all being from the same family a la The Corrs or be The White Stripes and have the weird dilemma of them either being brother and sister or married, MAD I KNOW!

However, one band took the route of having interesting and out of this world kind of videos. Their debut song A Million Ways was the first in a long line of videos. The video concept was the band in the one of the members back garden doing a dance routine and it only took one take.

 

Their second video was probably their most famous and involved the use of treadmills where again a dance routine was created but this time the added danger of the treadmills was added to make the video a lot cooler and much more popular   

 

The bands popularity was so high with all their millions of views on You Tube that they even collaborated on a music video with The Muppets!

Their popularity seems to have died down as the Internet moves away from OK GO but we will always have the memories of the dancing and the treadmills!

One million likes! Facebook is becoming a Santa!

What an brilliant idea? Just write your wish on a cupboard and share your wishes in Facebook, genius.
On January 2003, the Cordell kids were wise enough to wish for a puppy in Facebook, all they needed was a 1 million likes, EASY! It took only 7 hours to get those. I believe that their daddy was a shocked after this pull..

Well, they got their puppy before Christmas, thanks to the almighty Facebook. But the story continues.. After the visibility and popularity of this pull, people all around the world started to share their wishes in  Facebook with parodies of the children s handmade signs, and oh boy did people start to share these wishes..Payoffs, sex, trips to Maldives, cars.. everything was asked for.

Here's a couple of desperate wishes:

Celebrities With No Teeth

Anyone who is a frequent social media has bound to come across the recent Internet FAD of celebrities with no teeth. The concept is as simple as it sounds, someone has taken pictures or random celebrities and removed their teeth through photoshop. Sounds pretty stupid (which it is) but it doesn't mean that it's not funny!

This FAD just also brings to light the fact that their are far too many people in the world with too much time on their hands, not that we are complaining!

So take a look at some of the funniest pictures of celebrities with no teeth

Draw Something

Once upon a time...not too long ago....there was a game which gripped the global smart phone market.

It's name; Draw Something.

The purpose of the game was as follows; to create an illustration which relates to the word provided by the game, e.g if it instructs you to draw a "dog", then you draw a dog.

The game is as high or low involvement as you would like it to be. In other words, if you wished to spend hours perfectly shading and cross-hatching on your image of a dog, then you are at liberty to do so. On the contrary, if you wish to just compose a mere scribble and attempt to pass it off as a dog, then you can also do so.

However, the game has most definitely fallen by the way-side, with very few playing it now.

Here's an example of a very highly-involved gamer's work on the Draw Something game.

Caution: Scary Content!!

At some point in your life you will have no doubt been sent an email from a friend or they have sent you a link saying "check this video out, its really funny!" or "check this video out, it's really cool!" etc, etc, and as they are a reputable source you would be inclined to go and have a look and see what they're talking about. The video will be a short clip and you'll wait to see where it is going than BOOOMM a horrible creepy face will appear, usually a clown or a scary masked person and you will no doubt let out a yelp or throw your laptop up in the air. Most famously demonstrated in 2006 when what was supposed to be a car advert was actually just a prank and a scary screaming zombie appears at the end!!

Car Advert (watch at your peril!)

Another famous example of this would be a clip on a famous American show called Larry King Live, which is showing you around Michael Jackson's mansion after his death and you see a shadow walk across the hall, the rest i will leave up to you to go and see the outcome, although you might already have an idea what happens?!

Michael Jackson's Ghost?!

Thankfully these kind of scary videos have gone into decline now and their popularity peaked in 2006, there is only so long these types of videos can circulate before people start to click on to what is going to happen next!

Who's the Top Dog in terms of Blogs: POHTPOF

One thing this blog hasn't done yet is look at other blogs and admire their excellence. This is wrong and therefore, over the next few days, we will share with you lovely people what we think are the best blogs out there in the dangerous world of the Internet. We may even pick ourselves a winner and give them a virtual high five HUZZAH!

The first blog that Paddy stumbled upon this week was that of Pictures of Hipsters taking pictures of food. The concept for the blog is simple, we all hate the craze that hipsters have started, the one where they take pictures of every meal before eating it then posting it on the social media website of their choice. Well, this blog gets back at these rebels of society by taking pictures of them taking pictures of their food( WHERE IS THE XZIBIT MEME WHEN YOU NEED IT!). The blog idea is excellent and therefore is a very funny blog. I will post my favourite pictures from the blog followed by the link so you lovely people can have a look for yourselves
