Diddy Ciroc Vodka Movie Video Frank Sinatra Tribute

Shallow Nation — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 22:33:44 +0000

Sean Diddy Combs stars in “Ciroc Home Movie” a three minute mini-movie for his Ciroc Ultra Premium Vodka “Art of Celebration” ad campaign which pays homage to Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack. It is an extended version of Diddy’s original Ciroc Rat Pack commercial which launched the campaign in October 2008, which used Sinatra’s classic “Come Fly with Me” as background music and was shot on location at one of Sinatra’s former California homes. Sinatra, along with Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop were members of the original Rat Pack.

Regarding the campaign, Diddy said.

“Frank Sinatra is one of my heroes. It was truly an honor to have had the opportunity to use Sinatra’s work and home for this campaign. He defined sophisticated celebration as a lifestyle a generation ago. I couldn’t imagine a spirit more appropriate for such occasions today than CIROC, a brand that has become synonymous with celebration.”

Partnering with Ciroc and the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission, Diddy offered free taxi rides on New Year’s Eve in New York City, with a street team distributing $15 debit cards good for cab fares to partygoers on Manhattan streets between 11pm and 3am. “New York is the most iconic New Year’s Eve city. Let’s show everyone a holiday celebration doesn’t end on the stroke of midnight, but when everyone gets home safely,” he said.

G Commercial Video: Lil Wayne Gatorade G

Shallow Nation — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 05:20:16 +0000

Lil Wayne narrates the new “G Commercial” – Gatorade G that debuted during the Rose Bowl 2009 and other televised football games. The mysterious commercial which features numerous professional athletes, launches the rebranding of Gatorade.

As part of the branding, the iconic sports drink formerly known as Gatorade Thirst Quencher will be known as Gatorade G. with this rationale:

Gatorade G is the same scientifically formulated Gatorade Thirst Quencher that has provided advanced hydration and performance benefits to athletes and active people for more than 40 years. Gatorade Thirst Quencher has a new attitude, and we put the letter “G” front and center on our packaging, along with our iconic bolt. G represents the heart, hustle, and soul of athleticism – and is a badge of pride for anyone who sweats, no matter where they’re active.

Best Viral Videos of 2008: A Retrospective

Shallow Nation — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 05:49:09 +0000

Videogum has put together a great montage of some of the best viral videos of 2008. Clocking in at just under 7 minutes, you can relive some of the year’s highlights, from the Chuck E. Cheese Band rendition of Usher’s hit single “Love in This Club” to the Bill O’Reilly meltdown, and much more.

Yes, it was quite a year for viral video. As Videogum notes, the videos were numerous, and not everything noteworthy made the final cut.

But even without Drunk History or the Zach Galafianakis Absolut Vodka Ads, without Baby Preacher, Lil’ Bill O’Reilly, or the kids rapping about the election to T.I.’s “Whatever You Like,” and probably a dozen other honorable mentions, I feel confident that you will still find this to be a captivating, thorough, and most of all HEARTBREAKING tribute to this year in internet.
