Call me a music snob, psh I already know this about myself, but HELLO! The Format’s music was so much better than this mainstream Fun stuff. At the same time, I know that congratulations are in order. I like to still be happy for a band’s success and watching them perform on SNL is a little bit cool.
You know who you are.
Hi, how cool is this Darigold corn maze?! I’ve been to corn mazes before and they are alright, but it has always been raining! It’s not exactly the best recipe, is it? However, when I look at a photograph of this perfect maze and the sun shining down on it, I feel like nothing can go wrong in this world.

Remember when you used to hand write all of your letters to friends and family before e-mail was even invented? Snail Mail My Email is a new creative month-long running service that allows you to email a message to the site that well then be transformed into a handwritten letter and mailed to the recipient without you having to pay a penny! In addition to the handwritten letter, you can also customize it even more by adding a doodle or a spray of perfume or cologne for that special someone.
You are only allowed to use the service once, so make it count and do it quickly before it ends August 15.

Volkswagen Germany has had a lot of fun creating new viral campaigns for the Volkswagen Speed Lane theory. They include the fast lane for escalators, shopping carts, and elevators. Instead of spoiling it for you though, I’ll just let you watch the videos. Kind of makes me wish we had some of these here. The videos are really cute because you get to see people of all ages having a lot of fun with the new improvements.
For comparison, Volkswagen Sweden also penned the Fun Theory in these viral videos here.
