This ad makes two campaigns from Venables Bell & Partners that I like. They're crack dealers over there. The first campaign was a pair of Audi-is-better-than-everyone ads which we showed you last week. By the way those spots have a combined total 70,000+ views on YouTube and lot of commentary. Who says TV is dead? I want to not like this work. Swear-words!

Anyway, this Intel piece and all the others you've seen are just funny. The best part — really, the best — is the "bum, bum bum ba bum" at the end. I don't know why. DAMNIT. I'm kicking the air, right now. Give them raises. Credits after the jump.

DIY Editing

Every writer needs an editor. But sometimes, because you're on deadline, or you're a freelancer, or the fates have conspired against you, you have to be both writer and editor at the same time. Which sounds like a prescription for schizophrenia.

There is a solution that does not involve medication. Check out the quick tips in the video Learn How to Line Edit Your Own Writing. The instructor is June Casagrande, author of Grammar Snobs Are Great Big Meanies and It Was the Best of Sentences, It Was the Worst of Sentences and the language column "A Word, Please."
