I love this. It’s Samuel L. Jackson doing an AWESOME narration of the children’s book “Go The F*ck To Sleep”…. the intro is also money, and yes, he reads it legitimately as it’s supposed to be read.

If Shel Silverstein were still alive, this is how i’d imagine he’d read it…. yes, lately this blog has turned into a slightly different direction than the old ad blog you’re use to seeing, but like I said in previous random posts….you really need to see/hear this. I’ve been busy with other work, but for those that have actually gone out of their way to email me and ask me to post more often, I promise you I will soon be back to dishing out the campaigns/behind the scenes/backstory goodies that made this site actually popular ‘back in the day.’

So obviously this is NSFW (not safe for work), but go home, listen to it then go out and buy the book. Yes, its a real childrens book named Go the F**k to Sleep, by Adam Mansbach, with illustrations by Ricardo Cortés and narrated by Samuel L. Jackson. Who apparently relates personally to the message (and after talking with a few new parents, this is what most are typically thinking when first having a kid……though some, as you’ll hear in the intro and personal story from Mr. Jackson, actually say it to their kids….who sometimes start saying it back when they want to know if its bed-time yet).

Enjoy. I did (and bought the book even though I am without child, at least any that I know of). ;P

P.S. i love this so much you’ll notice i didn’t even use any amazon affiliate links… but it’s available at most bookstores.

If you caught last weeks Monday Night Football you probably witnessed part of a new Nike campaign from Wieden + Kennedy called BOOM. Yes, you read that correctly….first they tell us to Just Do It..now we must BOOM. So far the one shown above with Rick Ross has been the ‘talk of the town’ as far as being the current favorite. Also if you go to the youtube page for each of the clips the comments get pretty funny for a few of them (I’ve posted the rest of the spots in the campaign at the bottom of the post).

Now I was going to make a wise-crack about how if they really wanted to Boom all they’d need are some tips from the Flight of the Conchords (Brit’s the boom king after-all), but alas, a user commenting on a related Adfreak post already beat me to it (touché). But for any of you who have no clue what I’m talking about, or even how to correctly “Boom,” hopefully the following instructional video will help:

Flight of the Conchords – BOOM:

And now for the rest of the spots in the campaign (Bo Jackson even makes a cameo in one of them…and let’s not forget that Bo Knows Football)… i’m sure there are more in queue for this campaign and your best chance at seeing them live will be every Monday night at half-time.

On the very top of my list of favorite World Cup videos that i’ve ever see so far, here’s one called 1284 from Y&R Brazil and Energy. It begins with soccer legend Pelé saying,

If I could replay my life, maybe if I scored my last goal with the Brazilian Team, i’d like that…

Shot entirely at Morumbi stadium in Sao Paulo this production involved more than 250 professionals a well over 500 cast members. On top of that a handful of professional players were involved in the shoot in addition to a few famous Brazilian sports and journalist icons like Rivellino, Carlos Alberto Torres, Orlando Duarte and Osmar de Oliveira.

A tip of the hat on this one…. well done.
