Google's Super Bowl Ad: Parisian Love
Jordan teablogged on Monday, February 8, 2010 at 12:52AM I know this is just an ad, but honestly, it's so sweet it gave me goose bumps. AND a toothache. The video, titled "Parisian Love," one of a series of "Search Stories" on YouTube. It was posted about two months ago, and, as of tonight, has been viewed almost 1.3 million times. Can you imagine if it caused goose bumps every time?
Lord Google is taking over the world. I know this. And I'm kinda okay with it.

This story, about 14-year old David Fortin who went missing a year ago, breaks my heart. Even more so, because the parents brush off a Hannah Montana song on his ipod as something he downloaded "for his sister." It's not my place to speculate if he was or wasn't gay, but it's the plainly ignored truth of situations like these that cause people to run away in the first place...
When his peers moved on from children’s cartoons to motocross and dating, David remained fascinated by the magical world of Walt Disney. “He was happy being in his little bubble,” Maxime says...“He was able to camouflage his sadness, his emotions, all of the unhappiness he was living through,” Maxime says. “He knew how to conceal the horror he was living through behind a smiling face.”
cbs, your morals are calling
Mikey teablogged on Sunday, February 7, 2010 at 4:20PM I may be one of those people who would only watch the Super Bowl for the ads (heck, I had no idea the Super Bowl was even on), but I can still get behind this clip of Wanda Sykes criticizing CBS for refusing to air an ad for a gay dating site while allowing an anti-abortion ad. It's nice to know where CBS' priorities lie.

Mikey with iPhone?

So Mikey,
You'd tell me if you put a photo up on Guys with iPhones, right?
I'm pretty sure you don't have an iPhone, and I don't remember you being too big on necklaces, but the longer I look at this photo (and yeah, I've been looking at it for a while), the more I wonder if it might really be you. Mikey with attitude.
You do see the resemblance, don't you? Since you're pretty much the same person, aesthetically speaking, you should be pleased to know that this photo has received a couple of very complimentary comments. Of the guy in this photo, one commenter said, "so dreamy..ur like almost...too perfect." And another summed up his thoughts in one word: "beautiful."
The impossibility of being too perfect aside, I would have to agree with the general consensus. Internet-Mikey is pretty darn good-looking.

Pulling Me
Mikey teablogged on Saturday, February 6, 2010 at 8:33PM The deceptively simple compositions (a black, feathery Chicago dress in front of a stark red circle; three ballet dancers against a pure white background) and vivid color scheme of Pixie Lott's new "Gravity" video are a perfect compliment for this buoyant, airy track.
