Marketing Campaign of the Day
May. 30, 2011
Marketing Campaign of the Day: This is not a new idea, but it works every time: To promote the final tournament of the 2011 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship, taking place in Denmark this summer, a random Under-15 soccer match was transformed into “a European Championship Final,” complete with uniforms, professional refs, a play-by-play announcer, marching bands, myriad die-hard fans, and — most importantly — an original Carlsberg Man-of-the-Match trophy.
Music: TurboWeekend – “Now“

PSA of the Day

PSA of the Day: YouTuber Sean Symons says he spotted a teenager who was texting while driving and reported him to the police. He then whipped out his camera and pursued his car for a while as the teen continued to text unmindful of his surroundings, with lamentably predictable results.
Don’t text and drive. (Also: Don’t film and drive.)

For Teh Lulz of the Day
May. 30, 2011
For Teh Lulz of the Day: PBS.org was hacked earlier today by Lulz Security, the “hacktivist group” responsible for the recent Sony Music Japan hack. LulzSec published a fake story on the news organization’s The Rundown blog, claiming that Tupac was alive and well in New Zealand. They also tweeted links to PBS logins and passwords, and offered to sell custom PBS blog domains.
From the now deleted article:
Prominent rapper Tupac has been found alive and well in a small resort in New Zealand, locals report. The small town – unnamed due to security risks – allegedly housed Tupac and Biggie Smalls (another rapper) for several years. One local, David File, recently passed away, leaving evidence and reports of Tupac’s visit in a diary, which he requested be shipped to his family in the United States.
LulzSec say they targeted PBS because they were upset about the recent Frontline special “WikiSecrets,” an hour-long documentary on WikiLeaks that founder Julian Assange decried as “trying to build an espionage case” against himself and suspected WikiLeaks source Pvt. Bradley Manning.
LulzSec claim they’re still in control of the PBS backend, taunting PBS admins and posting an additional fake article some hours ago. The group is apparently not done with Sony yet, either: The LulzSec Twitter feed includes several mentions of #sownage (Sony + ownage) that seem to be scheduled for tomorrow.
Oh, and it wasn’t Anonymous who hacked Fox and stole contestant data from The X Factor. It was LulzSec.
