Coal: It's cheap, there is an abundance of it, and... it's cheap. I am not sure if this ad for coal power makes me want to cough, or laugh. view

Revision3 is synonymous with Internet Television (it helps that it's their tagline!), so I'm not surprised they've jumped into the web series game with their first foray into scripted content. 'Web Zeroes,' an Office-style comedy, follows a cast of three dorky guys trying to become famous on the Internet. It's frothed with quick wit, likable characters and enough tech speak to to appeal to the geek set, including a well placed shout out to the unofficial tech god, Kevin Rose (who also just *happens* to have a show on Revision3). view

Sam King is a lowly assistant at Universal Records UK in London, and gets into all kinds of shenanigans in his secret world (all not so secretly sponsored by Universal Music). In Episode 1, poor Sam gets kidnapped and tied up by the Jonas Brothers (really) who JUST HAPPEN to be on the Universal Music label, go figure. Sincerely, your teenage daughter will be way more interested in 37 episodes than you are, with all its vapid auto-tuned music and pretty peeps, hell, even the Pussycat Dolls show up later in the series. I mention it mostly for the headscratching "Really, THAT'S what the kids into these days?" factor. view

Yes, this new technology sounds adorable, but Twitter has taken control of our society. Twitter offers access to our most important leaders' least important thoughts. Can you believe that this fad (or is it a fad?) has reached Congress??? view

What you are about to watch is nothing short of a miracle... an absolute reinvention of television itself... Actually, in the vein of the old school variety shows mixed with celebrity cameos ala Funny or Die, you get a preview of this new show airing on HBO. The Internet revolution has officially hit TV. Well, not TV, HBO. view

"Californication", the David Duchovey vehicle, has a good idea in this ad: show actors getting to know the real life counterpart of the characters they play. In this case, Pamela Adlon (who plays Marcie Runkle) spends time waxing the privates of porn actresses and men's chest hair with her non-fictional self at Pink Cheeks. It's a smart way to mix the fiction of the show with the voyeurism of reality-tv. view

“When you leave [a friend’s] funeral, that drive is as important as any single stretch of road you'll travel on,” Eddie Vedder told Rolling Stone in 2006. “You've got a renewed appreciation for life. And I think that feeling can last through the day, through the week, but then things start getting back to normal and you start taking this living and breathing and eating thing for granted.” That’s why he writes the songs. This one, in particular, can take your breath away... reminding you not to take it for granted. view
