Look it’s me!
Check out petmoustache.com, a viral microsite created for Burger King that was supporting a TV ad’ for the new Western Whopper. You can upload a photo of yourself to grow and groom the cowboy moustache you’ve always desired, then send your mates a ‘Monty Python-esque’ mouth-moving singing telegram.
Good funny fun, but I had no idea it had anything to do with a new Whopper or that it had anything to do with Burger King, until I had someone point out the BK logo in the bottom right-hand corner. Got me to write this blog entry didn’t it though!
Another viral microsite which enables photo uploads of your face is one for Verizon, a US based broadband provider with the strapline ‘The Power of Verizon Broadband’ where you can upload your face onto a 3D generated action hero, to create a short action movie ending in you powerfully saving the day.
Today, I’m a hero… with a moustache.

ReadyMech
I’ve found a lovely little site which appeals to the Japanese-loving side of a couple of us in the office including myself. The site is called ReadyMech.com and is a small collection of downloadable PDF flat-pack designs for making your very own miniature ‘Mechs’.
Mechs are little boxy-type characters which come in many flavours, all ready for you to stick your fingers together with super glue trying to ‘pimp your desk’.
The series has been developed by Fwis, a graphic design group in Portland, Denver, Cupertino and Brooklyn, USA.
As you can see here, mine is already my bestest pal and I’m sure he’ll have a few more companions before the week is out.
In the words of ‘Art Attack’s’ Neil Buchanan, “Try it yourself…“
