Despite the fact that I've been trying to get my thoughts from GLS '08 posted for a few days now, it just hasnt happened. Most certainly not for lack of inspiration - the conference was absolutely phenomenal. But for whatever reason I've just felt a little too scatterbrained to get my thoughts down the way I want them. Rest assured though, they are coming.
In the meantime (insert terrible segway here) I wanted to share some videos worthy of "Off Topic Friday Hilarity" status. Titled "Business Ideas by Gary Busey" the two videos below are part of an advertising campaign for the company GotVMail. And they are ridiculous and awesome beyond reproach. And perhaps most importantly, despite not being a well groomed sales pitch, they work - I remember GotVMail's name because of them.
Those voices are almost insane enough to have come out of my head. Check that... they are clearly more insane.
Its not quite a viral campaign (only about 8,000 hits per video), but in an era of meticulously crafted marketing efforts, I love it when people try to stand out through insanity. And I love it when Gary Busey speaks in front of a camera uncensored. Put the two together and how could you possible go wrong?
Happy Friday.

I have seen these before and thought exactly the same thing. Whether he is strumming the guitar and making up his own words, or discussing white hair dye for grizzly bears, Gary Busey cannot be beat for an off-the-wall, memorable campaign. I mean, seriously. Gary Busey as the spokesman for anything even VAGUELY business oriented? Who knew. ;)
Seem like some really great ideas :)
God Bless Gary Busey. Those are fantastic.
