Motion Posters: The Next Norm in Movie Marketing

With advertising moving more and more online and digital, it's no surprise that Motion Posters are starting to crop up. I'm actually surprised I haven't seen more! They're much more engaging than pop ups and definitely no where near as annoying. Here are a few neat motion posters:

I can't find the embed code for this one, so click here to check out the Terminator Salvation Motion Poster.

Things People Like

One of the funniest sites is Stuff White People Like. Here's an example of one of the many things White People Like:

#11 Asian Girls
"95% of white males have at one point in their lives, experienced yellow fever. Many factors have contributed to this phenomenon such as guilt from head taxes, internment camps, dropping the Nuclear bomb and the Viet Nam War . This exchange works both ways as asian girls have a tendency to go for white guys. (White girls never go for asian guys. Bruce Lee and Paul Kariya’s dad are the only recorded instances in modern history)..."

Well, today I found another similar site that is pretty funny. Things Marketing People Like!
It's a smaller niche than White People, but I think it can still be appreciated by anyone. It's also predominantly picture/video based, so it's a much faster read than SWPL. Here's an example of a funny posting:

Stuff Unemployed People Like

How appropriate in today's economic climate!

#118 Finally Finding the Remote:
"The TV is a magical device, but without the remote control there’d be no way to change the channels from their entirely-too-familiar couch crevices. So when it comes time to switch between the crappy daytime television shows that the unemployed have scheduled to watch every day, being unable to find a remote leaves the unemployed feeling utterly helpless..."

I think the commenter says it best "sanity can be hard when you're jobless", so get some help by knowing your not alone and getting ideas on what other unemployed people like!
