Redbull: Human Powered Freerunning Machine

Here’s the latest piece of content from Redbull’s Parkour sponsorship of Jason Paul, this time, they've setup what’s been named a ‘Human Powered Freerunning Machine’… Which from my decryption is an engineered environmental dominos setup that sees Jason Paul run through various contraptions to the finish line. The video has racked up 5 million views in just a few days and to be honest, with those numbers and a great name, I was expecting something super cool. It is cool, but I’m not sure I got the wow factor… It felt a little bit under engineered compared to other similar styled videos and a just lacked that punch for me. What did you guys think?

In Russia the streets aren’t always that safe, people often have to fight to go where they want to go. The local magazine It’s My City thought of a way to make people aware of this problem. They took over the media spaces on the street when the Russian Army was rehearsing their Victory Day Parade. The banners that were set up got a lot of media attention, and apparently the percentage of fights dropped by 75% afterwards.

Hilarious Condom Advert Speeds Women Up – Slows Men Down

Condom adverts have a habit of being tacky and not that smart, but this new release from Durex has a laugh about men and women’s orgasms and highlights their new product which aims to bring both partners to a climax at the exact same time. A bold claim from a simple condom, but one that will get lots of attention and we just love this simple but smart advert.
