Mac Versus PC Parody: Democrat Versus Republican

We’ve all seen those crazy Mac versus PC ads, but this one could well apply to the Democratic victory in Congress.

For your reference, here’s the original. Oh, I knew this day would come…

December 5 is Ninja Day

Nevermind that Douglas “Ask a Ninja” Sarine is declaring December 5 Ninja Day, or that he’s having people plan Ninja Day activities with a wiki, or that he’s encouraging photo sharing with the unique tag “NinjaDay2006”. Just dig the sponsors for his DVD release: Yahoo, Microsoft, Revver, Meevee, DivX, and Laughing Squid. In case you’ve been hiding under a rock (or from a ninja) for the last year, “Ask a Ninja” is an award-winning series of online comedy videos parodying the image of ninjas in popular culture, independently produced by improv comedians Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine.

Social media and viral marketing are the ways of the online marketing ninja. I’ll be at Yahoo presscon December 5, but I’ll try to kill somebody for Ninja Day.
