Love and Acceptance on the Half Pipe: Sexy Skateboarding Ads Attack Discrimination

Love, acceptance, and time traveling gay robots on the half pipe

Love and Acceptance on the Half Pipe: Sexy Skateboarding Ads Attack Discrimination is the title of the Gaysports.com (Who knew?) article about the MTV’s gay skateboarder anti-discrimination commercial that appears to have been written by a time traveling robot. The article, not the commercial. I’m not exactly sure why they wrote the article, because it’s […]

Promo MTV's Stereo Sound Agency

Stereo Sound Agency

This Stereo Sound Agency video is reportedly a promo for an MTV show that fell through. That’s too bad, cause this is about a million times better than Rob and Big, and I can confidently say that without ever having watched the latter.

Meant for work.

It’s a mildly amusing commercial. If anyone still needs it, it’s proof that skateboarding has been assimilated into […]

From Yo-yos to Yo Yo Ma to Tony Hawk

Apparently there is an activity that adults enjoy but most people think of as a toy, fad, or a phase to grow out of. Sound familiar? Although they both spin and have axles, I’m talking about yo-yos, not skateboards. Who knew there was a crossover? (Wait, isn’t that a yo-yo trick too?) Yo-Yo Nation is […]

Snoopy on a skateboard

Joe not-so-Cool pushes mongo and worse, rides vert.

Snoopy has been known to ride a skateboard or two, at least on shirts and toys. This may be the first time he’s ever appeared in animated form on skateboard. He’s A Bully, Charlie Brown aired over the Thanksgiving weekend to little fanfare. The copyright is 2006 and though already deceased, Charles Schultz is listed […]

Levis wants you to skate. FedEx, not so much.

FedEx, Gatorade Propel, and Levis Dockers all have commercials currently airing using skateboards. They range from pretty good to average. Decode my cryptic title with video links and commentary after the jump.
