Genius Animated Marketing #28 LeBron : Yao :: Cowboys : Dragons

The odd Olympic marketing campaigns begin with this animated ditty from Coke pitting LeBron, American King, against Yao, Chinese Giant, in a fantastical cage match that makes little sense. And then they turn into the real dudes and speak each other's language. All because they both love Coke; and money. --RWK [via BDL]

Headlines #2: God accused of selling cocaine near church.

The report, in its entirety:

Police said a man named God was arrested near a Tampa church for selling cocaine.

Authorities began investigating God Lucky Howard in April, and he was arrested on Saturday. Police said he sold the cocaine to undercover detectives in his neighborhood. When officers searched his home, they reported finding 22 grams more of cocaine and a scale.

Jail records show Howard was charged with several counts of drug possession and distribution, which include increased charges for being within 1,000 feet of a church, a school and public housing.

Dude is not lucky. --RWK [via Keith]

Genius Marketing #5 Encounter #39: It's mine

Actually, this one is pretty great, too. It looks pretty fantastic. And Charlie Brown's head popping up behind a water tower made me beam, if not actually chuckle. But, you know, that was nothing compared to that game-winning TD catch. That shit was tight. Not so tight? Eli's mud-thick accent. --RWK
