The Harvey Awards are given annually by the comic book industry. This promotional video for them is a parody of Alec Baldwin’s sales rant from the movie Glengarry Glen Ross. The corporate office sends Val down to talk to the dregs in the sales department: Garfield, Heathcliff, Dagwood, Charlie Brown, and that guy from B.C. The message is simple: sell newspapers or you’re fired.

First prize is a Harvey Award. Anybody want to see Second prize? A can of spinach. Third prize is you’re fired. You get the picture? … You’ve got a readership. The syndicates paid good money. Get them to buy the newspaper!

Here’s the original scene from Glengarry Glen Ross. Content warning: adult language in both videos.

As part of Gatorade’s new branding campaign (apparently research shows more people will buy sugar water if it’s called “G”), TBWA/Chiat/Day and Tarsem teamed up to make a brilliant parody of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Enjoy this ten minute film, as King Kevin Garnett and various other athletes go on a quest for hydration. Can’t say it made me want to buy more . . . G, but I’d buy a pagan Kareem and his talking goat herald toy in a second.

	The Curious Case of Forrest Gump Have you seen The Curious Case of Benjamin Button before? If it seemed familiar to you, that may just be because you have seen it before fifteen years ago ... From Talkshow with Spike Feresten: Link
	My Kitty Can Fly This is a story of a man, a fence, and a cat. It's not just a video clip, it's a quest to build the ultimate escape-proof cat fence. Every time the cat outwits me, I figure out a way to stop her from jumping over the fence ... You may think I have a little bit too much time on my hand, and you could be right. But I just consider this a challenge because I read one time that nobody has ever built a fence that is capable of keeping a cat either in or out of a place ... Link (I won't give out the ending, but it's pretty funny)
	Ultra Slow Motion of a Falling Droplet of Water Pretty much what the title said: a nifty clip of a droplet of water captured at 3000 frames per second. Quick and fun: Link (24 sec)
	Husky Says "I Love You" For all of you who say that Neatorama has a cat bias, here's a clip of a Siberian Husky named Tubok saying "I love you" for a treat. Cute and talented! Link
	Bratz Doll Give Girls Unrealistic Expectations of Head Size Well, if Barbie gives girls unrealistic expectation of body image, Bratz dolls give them something even better: unrealistic expectation of ... head size! From The Onion: Link

This one to the left is "Steven"

I’m definitely a classic romantic. I like a candlelight dinner, some quiet background music, and a couple hits of ether. I prefer a woman that has insurance and a car would be great as I need to make the occassional trip to Mexico to pick up "souvenirs".

I’m sure this is the foremost questions your mind:

Q: What does it cost the parties involved?

Art: It all depends on the demand. We have an excellent variety of quality bachelors, and the highest demand is for men around 30 years old with lots of hair. For example if you want to order a 52 year old bald man who has bad psioriasis, well then maybe $600.. but say we had a candidate that looked like a young Erik Estrada, well that kind of product doesn’t last long, we typically charge around $9,000.
