The Coolest One

The Whopper is dead.

Want to see what happens to Americans when their favorite fast food is taken away. Of course you do. But if you want to live dangerously, try telling a hungry customer who cant wait to bite into 670 glorious calories that their favorite sandwich over half of which is fat has been retired. Burger Kings Whopper Freakout campaign does all of those things, showing a level of brand confidence that hasnt been seen since The Pepsi Challenge. B.L. Ochman said it best: Its seven minutes long. It pisses off Burger King customers. It makes fun of competitors. In other words, it rocks.

Kanon Tipton Preaching World's Youngest Preacher

Quote from devonntipton - This is awesome. We had a powerful move of God in worship service, and Pastor Tipton was debating whether or not to preach. He said something about Kanon, so Kanon made his way to the platform to his poppy (Pastor). Dad just on a whim gave him the mic, and he started preaching. I was on the organ backin' him up. It was really amazing because he was so sincere, and the whole church was on their feet clapping and backing his preaching up! While it was somewhat entertaining, it was also moving. Kind of reminds me of something I heard someone say one time..oh, what was it...something about train up a child in the way he should go.....:) I believe in that. What happened to the days when becoming a preacher was the most awesome and respected things in the world? I hope it's coming back. Hope you enjoy!

My Redeemer Lives - Team Hoyt

A son asked his father, Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me? The father who, despite having a heart condition, says Yes. They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying Yes to his sons request of going through the race together. One day, the son asked his father, Dad, lets join the Ironman together. To which, his father said Yes too. For those who didnt know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island. Father and son went on to complete the race together.

Handmade Portraits - MV Knits

After quitting her day job in Los Angeles and moving to Martha's Vineyard, a quiet island off the Massachusetts coast, Susan Gibbs aka MVKnits had a great idea. She started Martha's Vineyard Fiber Farm and figured out how to make a living making yarn. Why not use the local food movement's model of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) and apply it to a yarn harvest? Shareholders pay for a share in the yarn harvest as a way to support a local farm (or in this case, a local farm supported through the internet) and in return they get weekly updates, photos from the farm, an invitation to the shearing and ultimately a share of the yarn. Etsian Tara Young aka weirdwolf headed to Martha's Vineyard to visit Susan Gibbs and her fiber farm. Music by Barry London and Charlie Parr.
