Ad Agency PMWEB strains bandwidth the world over with this loooong email marketing piece for the Beach Park Complex, a theme park in Brazil that features Insano, a waterslide with a near-vertical 135 foot drop that reaches speeds of up to 65 mph.

It’s so long, in fact, that I can only show it after the jump.

I hate video game commercials that don’t show any gameplay. But not if they’re this good. High-tech and high-dollar cinematic wizadry funded by Ubisoft.

If you like design, you’re gonna love this. Talented designer Pavel Fuksa (yes, that is his real name) lovingly constructs 178 matchbox covers for the Navigator’s song, My Place. The music isn’t my bag, but this video is amazing through sheer design value alone. Via Karen Horton.

A quaint campaign by quaint UK agency Red Brick Road that tells the quaint Magners story with a quaint mix of tone and humor. It’s quite quaint.

So Old Spice, you’ve told me that your products can make me smell like jet fighters, punching, and an attractive black male who can ride a horse backward. Now you’re telling me it can make me smell like the world’s most successful mountain? Well which is it Old Spice? WHICH IS IT?!

The bad-tempered Boston Bruins Bear is back, berating buffoonish Bruins backers who break Bruin code with his badass brand of bruising bullying.

To celebrate, I benevolently bestow below the best of the Boston Bruins bear. Boom.

megaforce-for-kid-kudi-pursuit-of-happinessIf you haven’t heard of Kid Cudi, please punch yourself until you lose consciousness. After you come to, just know that he’s a peddler of hot beats and is an accomplished hip hop artist and remixer. I always felt he was sort of a poor man’s Kanye West, only without the ego. Until now.

You see, talented production company MegaForce created an amazing video for Kid Cudi’s collab with MGMT and Ratatat that defied convention with its feats of perspective trickery. Watch it here.

All is good right? Nope. Kid Cudi decided to go with the alternate video above that doesn’t so much as defy convention, but define it. Obviously, Megaforce was none too pleased about his decision. A scan of their Twitter feed found this sentiment:

megaforce_kidcudi

Thankfully, not all was lost, as Megaforce still has been able to peddle their fine video techniques into other areas, such as this wonderful campaign for Orange.

UPDATE: After fans pitched a fit, Kid Cudi has decided to christen the Megaforce video as the official one, thus ruining the social importance of this post but placing the universe back into balance. Thank you Kid Cudi for pulling your head out of your ass.
