The making of the Old Spice commercial: The Man Your Man Could Smell Like
Tuesday, July 13, 2010
I’ve long believed that this is a thing that needs to happen way more often with singers. In fact, I’d pay to watch an entire feature film, spanning all kinds of musicians and all kinds of karaoke bars, premised on this very idea. (Would Ke$ha impress no one? Would Bonnie Tyler reduce people to tears? Justin Timberlake? Dr. Dre?!) It’d be Joshua Bell on steroids. Relatedly: if anyone is friends with Will Smith, let me know.
Prank of the Day: Funny or Die dressed Jewel up as a “mild-mannered businesswoman” named Karen and sent her to a Santa Monica karaoke bar to perform her own songs.
Mistaken identilarity ensued.

How To Challenge a Wrongful YouTube Takedown Through Fair Use
We’ve been tracking the Hitler Downfall meme and have become very concerned about the recent slate of YouTube takedowns by Constantin Films.
In talking to many of the creators of the Downfall meme videos, we discovered that many of them were unaware of their rights and protections under Fair Use.
To this end, we’ve created a short video that explains why we think that these videos are transformative works, why they should be protected under the Fair Use doctrine and what creators can do to challenge these unfair takedowns.
For additional information on Fair Use and your rights as content creator online, check out the following resources:
- eff.org: A Guide to YouTube Removals
- Center for Social Media: Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Online Video
- The Stanford Center for Internet and Society’s Fair Use Project
Big thanks to Pat Aufderheide of the Center for Social Media and Elizabeth Stark of the Open Video Alliance for their valuable assistance on this.
