Here is a perfect example of internet marketing at its best. Everyone knows the old mentos and Diet Coke experiment. Well if not I will quickly explain it, put a mentos tab into a 2 litre Diet Coke bottle, sit back and watch it fizz like Old Faithful. Well this video basically makes fun of that experiment..you’ll understand once you see the video. The guy puts a mentos in the beer (Carlsberg) and waits to see what happens.

This video is really funny but at the same time it is a great marketing ploy on Carlsberg’s behalf. They made a funny video with the center of attention being around their product, (their beer). This video has already been viewed over one million times. Thats basically one million impressions of free advertising. This silly 40 second video probably cost Carlsberg nothing to make and now has been seen by over one million viewers. Nothing new in the internet world just thought I would like to share this.

I don’t play too many video games but Grand Theft Auto has always been one of my favorites. GTA 4 is supposed to be released on October 16th 2007 for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

The GTA trailer was released on March 29th. I have the video provided below, it’s low quality but still watchable. You can watch the high quality video here. You can also check out the Grand Theft Auto screen shots here. I’m looking forward to this game, what about you guys?

So I managed to survive the Canada Day long weekend and missed two days of posting. During those two days I saw a serious drop in traffic. Tip of the day: always post every day if you want to keep your traffic levels increasing.

Anyways I saw this interesting video at Destination Creation which shows what the cartoon characters from the Simpsons would look like if they were created to look like real people. Check it out!

This video came out around the begining of May so its nothing to new but it discloses a bunch of statistics about internet porn. It moves me to know how much money is involved through porn and how many people are involved in the industry:

-89% of porn is created in the U.S.
-$2.84 billion in revenue was generated from U.S. porn sites in 2006
-$89/second is spent on porn
-72% of porn viewers are men
-260 new porn sites go online daily

Not to sure if all of the stats are real but take a look:
