Four Funny Banned Commercials
These commercials, hailing from various countries and advertisers, represent a nice little slice of commercial hilarity. And, if they had not been banned, probably would have achieved great success on the Telly. Unfortunately, these ads were banned, and the only record of their existence rests in their appearance on YouTube. All hail the Internet for allowing us to enjoy banned commercials when we want, how we want.
Laugh at will:
Posted October 10th, 2008 by adminMcCain’s “That One” Moment
On Tuesday night’s debate, John McCain and Barack Obama Squared away to face a Town Hall-style format. The second debate in the 2008 Presidential Race was largely uneventful… that was, until McCain uttered the words, “That One,” as he referred to opponent Senator Obama.
Huffington Post calls it racism, but others aren’t so sure. Some theorize that McCain simply had a senior moment and forgot his opponent’s name (which I consider highly unlikely, considering that he’s probably said it 10,000 times in the last week).
In any case, McCain’s “That One” moment is captured here, on tape. Enjoy.

This clip of global airplane traffic astonishingly displays the awe-inspiring mass movement of planes across the Earth over a 24-hour time period. Each plane is represented by a small yellow dot, which paints its own path across the sky as it travels over contintents, borders, and countries. In fact, I think I just spotted a CIA extraordinary rendition plan making its way from Afghanistan!
