Media is always keeping its eye on the world around us.
Here you will find links to interesting satellites that have passed
our way influencing, inspiring, and amusing us. We didn't make
any of what you will find here but we love it all the same.

GEICO
CAVEMEN:
I always thought the Geico Cavemen commercials were pretty stupid.
However, when they moved the look and feel of them to the 1980s
I changed my tune. Take a look at the best one to date (video

TOILETS:
The City of Seattle spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on
high-tech, self-cleaning toilets... and then took them all down.
Now you can buy them on Ebay! (from Ebay.com):

SPORTS:
This 14 year old blast from the past features Undependent Media's
own Scott Muoio running a 4:20 high school mile. Surprisingly,
his hair-do appears just as luxuriously balding as a high school
junior as it does today. Who knew this video even existed!? (video
from Dyestat.com):

A 78 year old blind

Were we at Undependent
Media, David Lee Roth in a previous life? Probably not, but if
this video for Just a Gigolo were Dave's only video ever,
we might have to reconsider. (video from YouTube):

Lionel Richie gives
us the most unintentionally hilarious music video ever. Everytime
he mouths "hello" I laugh out loud. This much sincerity
should be illegal. (video from YouTube):

Recently, Hal Clarke
wrote an article asking, Is
a Vote for Clinton a Vote for Bush?
In the article Clarke wondered if having two families control
The Presidency for a possible three decades wasn't the opposite
of what America is all about. Checking YouTube we found video
evidence of Hillary Clinton dodging that same question at a recent
Democratic debate. (video from youtube.com) Hillary
Clinton Changes the Subject

Great boxing champion
Razor Ruddock puts the hurt on garbage in the home. Getting hit
in the head so many times must trigger a lightbulb in boxer's
heads causing them to SEE THE FUTURE. I love the Boxer Compactor
and so should you! (video from razorruddock.com and youtube.com)

Anyone who grew up during
the '80s in the New York/New Jersey area will know that some of
the greatest commercials ever aired on our local television. Names
such as Crazy Eddie, Carvel, Mount Airy Lodge, and The Milford
Plaza meant much more to us than your typical stores, these were
our obsessions! Click the links below to check out some of my
favorite memories. (Video from youtube.com)
