Wieden+Kennedy likes you

Our blog grows up. Again.

We've moved. To here Our Dam Blog. It used to be our Wieden and Kennedy Likes You blog. And before that, our Think Global, Act Stupid blog. As you can see we are great at updating blog names but not at updating blogs. Our denial continues with yet another facelift. Only this time we really are going to blog. We are going to blog our faces off. And when we have blogged our faces off we will blog our torsos off and then move on to our arms and legs and feet leaving only our hands so that we can continue to blog. You may have noticed that we also did not blog our heads off, only our faces. So we still have our brains and hands. Which we need. So we can blog. 

Those Dancing Days

What’s better than five, young women from Sweden giving a dazzling musical performance at your work? Well… nothing. Those Dancing Days are an indie-pop group compromised of five talented ladies, and on Monday they played a set for us in the W+K kitchen. On tour for their second album, they could have been roaming the canal streets or set up in a café, but instead they charmed their way into our hearts. 

Listen to their new album here and be sure to make it all the way through. 'One Day Forever', duet with Orlando Weeks, is our favorite.

 

Memories of the Virtual Holiday dinner

 

Virtual Holiday Dinner

‘tis the season for too much food and drunken face-to-face time. 

And it would be a real shame if distance came between either of those.
 
Here you can have a holiday dinner with friends and family, screen-to-screen.
 
There’s some facial tracking software that allows you to control your doll by simply moving your face side to side.
 
Just Skype into one of the five seats, see your loved ones, feast on the faux turkey and toast to the togetherness.
 
Tables are available for Wednesday and Thursday.
 
Book yours at www.virtualholidaydinner.com

Quid pro quo

 

If you're good and don't smoke in this airplane bathroom, the nice man will make you an extra large drink with refreshing ice in it.

Deal.

We adore your penetrating hindsight

There's a hilarious comedy joke making the whole wide world laugh hysterically—thanks, internet!—and here it is:

 

Comedy gold.

However.

We were watching that game too. And when English Englandman cracked that crossbar shot, we did not see a forensically freeze-framed side-on shot of the goal. Instead we saw what everyone else including the referees and billions of viewers worldwide saw: an insane, irreproducible BAM BAM BAM ricochet that had us asking our eyes, "What the fuck just happened?".

Now, of course, we're all geniuses. The ref's blind, an idiot, has a thing against tea and crumpets and places with names like Devonshire—all of us clearly saw that the score at that point in The History of the Earth should have been 2 all. And you're totally right.

We basically just love how smart you are. The lot of you. We're not even a little bit worried about the Oil disaster in the gulf nor the rising seas. We even live below sea level and we're easy like Sunday. You're all going to get in a room, roll up your sleeves, and Apollo 13 us out of extinction before lunch. And don't think we won't be grateful, either.

So hot we have little columns of white smoke where our eyeballs used to be

Wherever you are, Fat Kuk, you've got fans in Amsterdam.
