A good idea and a pretty good (though simplistic) execution

Seeeeeee ittttttt onnnnn www.yooouuutuuube.com

Weirdly brilliant, yooouuutuuube.com takes a YouTube video and cuts it all up into some bizarre lomo action sampler-like strips. I used the Doves‘ excellent Black and White Towns video to try it out but I think it’d probably work better with psychelic or cheesy 80s videos.

A fake Windows environment is simulated to disguise your leisure reading
To promote the New Zealand Book Council’s efforts to encourage reading, Colenso BBDO created the Read At Work site. It’s a mock Windows desktop filled with books packaged as ‘fake’ Powerpoint documents to encourage people to read at their workplace without getting caught. Though it feels a bit scammy*, it’s a nice idea which is executed well.

Adobe Flash Player icon
Flash is bad. Every Flash player software that was ever released, up to the current version 9.0.124.0, is affected.

You could uninstall it but you won’t be able to see any of the cool shit that is linked at the FWA. Actually, you wouldn’t be able to see the FWA site itself!
