Prior to Tiger Woods’ return to golf, Nike had sampled the voice of Tiger’s late father, Earl Woods, to produce this commercial in which Earl asks his son a few questions about the recent events from beyond the grave. This very personal, almost surreal black and white advert sees the camera slowly zoom in to a silent Tiger Woods, who stares back, with a somber, apologetic look in his eyes. From hypebeast.com
“I knew that we’d be buddies when I met her when she said, ‘Drill here, drill now.’ And then I replied, ‘Drill, baby, drill’ and then we both said, ‘You betcha!'”
— Sarah Palin, quoted by the Wall Street Journal, recalling a previous meeting with Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN).

CVG: You’ve been a huge inspiration for many of today’s most successful video games designers. But what influenced you – in a world without a video game industry? I see you have a fetching Beatles t-shirt on today…
Miyamoto: Yes, I loved The Beatles – but when it comes to music, my particular taste is the American bluegrass music. I think bluegrass music was a great influence upon myself. When it comes to the pop culture in general, the movie Easy Rider was kind of a bible for our generation. I also saw the Stanley Kubrick Space Odyssey movie which was great also.
A writer or director like Peter Fonda, who made Easy Rider, must have had a great influence upon myself when I was young. I was living in Kyoto, which belongs to the Kansai region. In Japan – and in Kansai region particularly – when we were young there was tendency to love certain types of entertainment called Rakugo, which is one storyteller telling you sometimes a sad story, and sometimes one that would make you laugh very much.
I would also watch the Manzai – which is a comic duo or trio on the stage trying to make you laugh. Those kind of things, as well as Japanese cartoon culture must have something greatly influenced me, so much so that I really wanted to become a professional cartoonist when I was in Junior High.
If we’re talking about the United Kingdom, I really like the Irish music like Chieftains and I like [UK folk band] Pentangle.
