In an effort to steer away from complaining about having to study for exams when all I can think about is packing and getting everything in order for me to go home, I thought I’d share this clip. This is quite possibly my favorite commercial ever. Old Spice has a brilliant marketing team!
The last line cracks me up every time!

I’ve been in a perpetual state of stress because of a project I am working on and will undoubtedly continue to be stressed until the deadline passes at the end of this week. So, in an effort to both ease my nerves and bring some laughter into everyone’s day, I decided to share this awesome clip.
Alice posted this gem on her blog a while back and now it’s my turn to repost it and share with everyone. I just finished marathoning Merlin season 2 over winter break, and my gosh, how I heart Bradley James and Colin Morgan (who play Arthur and Merlin respectively).
LOL, what hilarity. They’re both so awesome :D

This semester I am taking a microeonomics course as well as a Russian history course. So when I found Capitalism and Cows: an explanation of the economics of capitalism by using cows and countries/corporations, it resonated with me on more than one level because it can relate to at least two of my courses!
Here are some of my favorite examples:
A JAPANESE CORPORATION — You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create clever cow cartoon images called Cowkimon(tm) and market them world-wide.
A SWISS CORPORATION — You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge others for storing them.
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION — You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.
Yes, these statements about how various corporations would go about with cows in a capitalist way use stereotypes, but they are quite amusing!
