Les Rita Mitsoukos

C'est Comme Ca by Les Rita Mitsoukos in an early Jean-Baptiste Mondino clip. The video is from 1986 and wouldn't be out of place today.

There's no getting bored of this song really...

Halloween 2: No one is safe, including lame ad campaigns

Fact #1: 99.9% of online ads suck. Especially the ones with people dancing because they saved money on car insurance or mortgage rates.

Lust for Life - Girls

NBCNewYork.com Ad Campaign
