Some gold from the world of infomercials with thanks to Carmel Hagen. Some copywriting so brilliant that you’d think the words had been written for the Old Spice Guy. Be prepared.

A Cup of Chaos #57: Star Trek Tik Tok
This is a hilarious mashup of Star Trek scenes with the Ke$ha track Tik Tok.
A Cup of Chaos #56: Sexy Rubik’s Cube Solve
Remember Rubik's Cube? I was never able to memorise or intuit how to solve it. Seems my mathematical brain was just not up to the task (hence my move out of programming into marketing). Oh, and don't forget to check out Ashley's selection of YouTube videos. Great way to start your Friday!
A Cup of Chaos #55: The Sun Page 3
Slightly NSFW – but not a bad, slightly cheeky take on the Old Spice Guy from The Sun newspaper.
A Cup of Chaos #54: Santa’s Reindeer Fights Back
At this time of year, we all start thinking about Santa and his reindeers. Most of us, however, tend to go to department stores to see them up close. This entrepid individual decided to seek out a reindeer in its natural environment. And, ok, he had a gun … but here's what happens when you don't wear a big red suit.
A Cup of Chaos #53: The Crying Invoice
Sometimes, when I receive an invoice it makes me cry. But sending them makes me smile. But what happens when that invoice of yours doesn’t get paid? Heartbreak.
So the folks over at Duval Guillaume in Belgium (where many, many freelance invoices are paid late) had a unique idea to promote new freelancer portal ikki.be. And here it is. Read that invoice and weep! Hat tip to creative genius, Kris Hoet.
A Cup of Chaos #52: Where Idiots Get Their Data
Where do global warming myths come from? Timo Elliot shares this video and explains just how complicated statistical analysis can be. Well worth a read!
A Cup of Chaos #51: Fair and Lovely
I think this speaks for itself – and I blame Will Humphrey for showing me where to find it.
A Cup of Chaos #50: St Streetview
With all the excitement around Mary McKillop becoming Australia’s first saint, it was only a matter of time before we encountered a digital miracle. No, I don’t mean the Australian National Broadband Network. I mean the appearance of God in a Google Streetview image. This will certainly give St Christopher, the patron saint of travellers a run for his money!
Take a look for yourself. Spooky, huh?
A Cup of Chaos #49: The Single Origin Experience
Regular readers will know that I love coffee. And that my favourite cafe is Single Origin in Sydney’s Surry Hills. Well, after talking about blogs and blogging during Coffee Mornings for the last four or so years, the good ship Single Origin are on-board with social media and doing a great job of it!
You can check out their What’s in the Hopper blog here or subscribe through an RSS reader here.
And to give you a taste of what they are serving up, check out this hilarious video review of Canned Coffees from the land of the rising sun. Awesome voice over, camera work and interpretation from Jimmy.
