It’s Monday and after being inundated by political talking points and talks of our further receding economy, we think it’s time to play. While HelloSourSally is most definitely a viral marketing piece, it’s whimsical interaction and childlike experience make all the bad monsters go away. Enjoy!
This is a wonderful story about a clever man connecting with voters (a type of consumer, right?) using very simple and viral techniques.
“Democratic strategists told first-time political candidate Sean Tevis he would need at least $26,000 to have a shot at beating a Republican incumbent.” Read about his success for yourselves.
We love the caption under the first illustration, “Called Running for Office: It’s Like a Flamewar with a Forum Troll, but with an Eventual Winner, the comic is filled with nerdy Internet inside jokes.” A Flamewar with a Forum Troll? WOW! We are sharpening our +7 battle axes of hyperbolic retaliation just in case.

Johnny Lee has been hacking the Nintendo Wii for a while now. If you haven’t seen his head-tracking 3D display hack for the Wii, I highly recommend checking it out. It introduces many opportunities for multi-dimensional UI advancement without significant technology hurdles.
What really impresses me about Johnny’s approach is that while he was a college student, he got our attention with some really ingenious, but simple (relatively) interaction concepts. Concepts that have become viral marketing pieces in themselves. I bet Johnny is having several very interesting discussions with several very interesting companies. Nice work man!
