Memelabs had a pumpkin carving contest on Friday and I thought that I’d share my favorite pumpkin with you (mine of course). I have a thing for LOLcats, so when the pumpkin contest was announced I knew what I had to do. Revel in the cuteness of my LOLkin below.

We here at memelabs spend quite a bit of time on the internet and one of our favorite things to do is pass around funny memes that we come across. We thought it would be fun to put a list of some of our favorites.
This lent itself perfectly to a quick pop quiz. So take a look at the list below and see how many you recognize. There’s no point in cheating as you’re not going to win any prizes For each one you know, you get a point. Count your points and find out your ranking at the bottom.

Scoring Structure:
0 – 10 Internet n00b 11 – 20 Beginner – You are still stuck on chain letters and you’ve yet to realize that no one in Nigeria really wants to send you money. 21 – 30 Not bad, you’ve got some pals but your Gmail list could use some work and you’ve got 45 friends on facebook. 31 – 40 Awesome but you probably spent more time cutting and pasting these into Google to jog your memory. 41 – 50 You may need to get a life in the real world…welcome to the club! 51 + I call cheating. But cheating at Solitaire is lame and not like convincing your friend landing on free parking gets you money.
I scored a 45, I think I may step away from the computer now. Post your score to see where you rank with everyone else.
Did we miss your favorite meme? Chances are slim, but let us know what you think should have been included in the list.
Superpages.com has announced today that their video advertising program has been removed from beta and will now be available nation wide to advertisers. The video advertising is being promoted as a full service and turn key solution for advertisers. The video ads will be priced on a performance based bidding model, a first of its kind in the industry.
Superpages.com will be charging advertisers a one-time $990 production fee to have a video produced. This fee will provide the advertiser a video professional who will, in conjunction with the advertiser, create a 30 to 60 second video. There will also be a small monthly recurring fee to have a video icon associated with their listings.
According to comScore, a video matrix ranking showed that Americans watched more than 9 billion online video streams during July 2007. A study by the Online Publishers Association found that after watching a video advertisement, 52 percent of viewers took an action such as visiting a Web site or making a purchase.
Sony has come out with their third installment in their series of Bravia commercials. This ad shows claymation bunnies taking over New York. This commercial falls slightly short of their original bouncing ball commercial that kicked off the series, but is a great ad to watch.
On a side note, there seems to be a bit of controversy brewing surrounding the ad. It seems that Passion Pictures, the company that created the ad, contacted Kozyndan to see samples of their work. This commercial bears more than a slight resemblance to the work that they submitted. Click here to see the original artists work and judge for yourself.
UPDATE:
Sony has issued a response to the controversy that has cropped up since their commercials release:
‘There is suggestion that there is a similarity between an illustration by Kozyndan and the new Sony BRAVIA ‘Play-Doh’ advert. Sony would like to stress that the advert conception, creative and final animation is not based on any pre-existing artwork.
Sony Europe, its agency Fallon, production company Gorgeous, and animation company Passion Pictures, assert that the wave, whale and bunnies were arrived at without reference to these artists. In the original script, the rabbits were one of many creatures to cavort around a cityscape. In fact, the location was only finalised shortly before the shoot. The final creative, led by Juan Cabral at Fallon and director Frank Budgen at Gorgeous, was chosen to champion the brand and best reflect ‘colour.like.no.other’. Sony enjoys working with experienced and talented creatives and all involvement in a campaign is always credited.’
I’m still find it extremely difficult to believe, given the striking similarities between the two pieces of work, that there was absolutely no influence from the original panorama to the final Sony Bravia commercial. This would have been the perfect opportunity for Sony to take the high road and credit Kozyndan with the initial inspiration. Sony - Give credit where credit is due, one would have hoped that you’d have learned your lesson when your less than sincere apology for the All I Want For Christmas is a PSP fiasco bombed and was panned across the internet.
