I started a thread on this one a few weeks ago- [Rabbit](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4Yf-7Z_6PE), a freaky-yet-hilarious short film made up of cutouts from children’s books. A tale of greed as told by two children and the jam-loving idol they find in a rabbit carcass. ---

Truthfully, and somewhat embarassingly, my current favorite, which I’m actually having to resist watching over and over, is a clip from the upcoming live-action “Year Without A Santa Claus” with [Michael McKean and Harvey Fierstein](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqTx3OZKXsw) as Snow Miser and Heat Miser, respectively. ---

[/QUOTE] I’m glad companies such as NBC are using YouTube as a way to promote their wares and provide a legal source for entertaining copyrighted clips, but seriously, who was the drunkard at Time Warner who greenlighted this thing? And I thought Arnold Schwarzenegger singing the Snow Miser song in _Batman and Robin_ was bizarre. Not as bizarre as Harvey Fierstein’s singing, apparently. (more like Harvey **Fire** stein! Get it? Ah, never mind.) ---

Rolling Rock beer (now an Anheuser-Busch product) has a viral marketing campaign involving an advertisement that was supposedly pulled from the airwaves because it offended too many TV viewers, including a TV spot in which a fictional executive apologizes for the ad. There is even a fake website set up by Rolling Rock stating that the executive should be fired for allowing such an offensive commercial to be put on the air. The ad turns out to be a spot-on parody of Spuds McKenzie and other such party-animal characters. The funkiest character never to appear on television…[Beer Ape!](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXAGM4z6ASA) ---
