You Grew Up. So Did We.

Thanks to a wonderful co-worker bringing this to my attention, I can share with you probably the coolest marketing video out there right now.  

The gist: Internet Explorer has rebranded and updated its services to be hip to the times.

The spin: 90s nostalgia. Using this idea, they're appearing to millennials by showing that not only did 90s children grow up, but so did their favorite, original web browser.

Has this compelled you to use Internet Explorer once again? I, personally, just may have to.

Throwback Gift: Saved By the Bell Edition

In all realness: Coolest. Gift. Ever. The iPhone case pictured here is meant to turn your modern device ancient... well, 1980's ancient. And I LOVE it, mainly because it is totally Zack Morris (if you don't know, he's a '90s TV sitcom character, Saved By the Bell, notorious for his giant cell phone — and perhaps the first person on TV to use a cell phone often).

The perfect Christmas gift? Hanukkah? I think yes. Purchase the iPhone case on Amazon.com HERE.

Interactive Game!

By now I'm sure you've realized I have a soft spot for Saved By the Bell; sure it was a bit before my time, technically, but it still aired every single morning while I was growing up and I watched it somewhat more than frequently. Anyway, imagine my surprise and delight when I found out there's now an awesome interactive YouTube game about the show courtesy of The Fine Bros.

Not only does this game nail all of the show's best and most ridiculous moments in a hilarious way but it creates an easy winning path for any fan — just be anti-Jeff like we all are and you're halfway there ;).



P.S. For another way to enjoy and reminisce about the show, read Chuck Klosterman's Sex, Drugs & Cocoa Puffs or check out LOLSlater.

Ode to the '90s

When good ol' Biebs himself chose to dawn a vintage Saved By the Bell tee, displaying the lovely Kelly Kapowski (played by Tiffani Amber Thiessen), at the 2011 MuchMusic Video Awards in Canada last weekend, all I could think was: Huh? Almost immediately after my initial shock, however, I was thrilled because Saved By the Bell is one of my all time faves, that in retrospect is both completely ridiculous and insanely awesome (all the while managing to pass the time while I'm at home sick beautifully).

Obviously touched by the homage to her character, Thiessen, less than one week later, wore a Bieber shirt to the New York screening of Jen Aniston's new flick Horrible Bosses. What goes around comes around and all I can say is: Yesss.
