Finally, the product. After a long, kooky journey through The MiNDZone we arrive at the product. The Clarion MiND is a real force to be reckoned with. This next-generation mobile device boasts a heavy set of features and delivers advanced navigation and entertainment capabilities based on Internet connectivity. This is not your everyday navi device. From the Press Relase:

The Clarion MiND is the first device to integrate advanced navigation and PC-like entertainment capability in one portable unit, offering sophisticated features that include GPS navigation, high-speed Internet connection, and digital content access and management.

True to its word the Clarion MiND has departed from the category of GPS device, loaded with features and serious digital media management capability, it’s a mobile media device more than anything. After setting up the WiFi in a matter of seconds, the gadget loaded YouTube clips, MySpace pages, maps, and the like with blazing speed and crystal clarity. This is a minute percentage of its capabilities and it is highly suggested that you try and get your hands on one of these bad boys ASAP. In the meantime, spread the word and grab some embeddable media after the jump!

LIVE OUT YOUR INNER ROCK ‘N’ ROLL DREAMS!

Rainn Wilson From TV’s “The Office” Headlines The Sleeper Comedy Of The Summer
Rockin’ Out On DVD & Blu-ray Disc January 27
From Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment

CENTURY CITY, CA – Opportunity rocks! School of Rock meets Spinal Tap in the “flat-out funny” (Richard Roeper, “At The Movies”) comedy for the rock star in everyone as THE ROCKER takes center stage on DVD and Blu-ray Disc (BD) January 27th from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Rainn Wilson (“The Office,” Juno) drums up huge laughs in “the surprise comedy of the summer” (Ben Lyons, E!) as Robert “Fish” Fishman, a man living in a rock ‘n’ roll dream…but waking up in a midlife crisis! After being kicked out of ‘80s metal band Vesuvius just before they hit superstardom, “Fish” spends the next 20 years in relative obscurity, stuck in a humdrum office work life, constantly daydreaming of what might have been. When his teenage nephew’s band is in desperate need for a new drummer to play the Senior Prom, he reluctantly steps in and picks up right where he left off. With a second chance to re-live his rock fantasies, “Fish” and his new band mates quickly skyrocket to fame…and rock will never be the same.

“A fun-filled musical romp that also doubles as a poignant coming-of-age story” (Clint O’Connor, Cleveland Plain Dealer) from director Peter Cattaneo (The Full Monty), THE ROCKER features up-and- coming young talents Emma Stone (Superbad), Josh Gad (21) and pop star Teddy Geiger, plus hilarious supporting performances from Christina Applegate (“Samantha Who?”), Will Arnett (“Arrested Development”), Jeff Garlin (“Curb Your Enthusiasm”), Jane Lynch (Best In Show), Howard Hesseman (“WKRP In Cincinnati”), Bradley Cooper (“Alias”) and “Saturday Night Live” veterans Jason Sudeikis and Fred Armisen.

Get a front row seat to the ultimate performance with THE ROCKER Born To Rock Edition fully-loaded DVD and BD highlighted by over 90 minutes of chart-topping special features including several “backstage pass” behind-the-scenes featurettes, an interview with former Beatles drummer Pete Best, cast/director commentaries, deleted scenes, gag reels, podcasts and more; plus both feature a Digital Copy of the film for portable media players. THE ROCKER Born To Rock Edition DVD will be available for a suggested retail price of $29.98 U.S. / $43.48 Canada and on Blu-ray Disc for $39.99 U.S. / $49.99 Canada.

Synopsis:
Twenty years after being kicked out of his nearly famous ’80s hair band, Robert “Fish” Fishman (Wilson)
finds himself trapped in a dead-end office job and living with his sister’s family. But when opportunity rocks, Fish gets a hilarious second chance at stardom, and without missing a beat, the desperate drummer vows to reclaim the rock-god throne he always thought he deserved!

It’s true, strange things do happen. Kind of like these MiNDZone videos. You may remember one of them from Itchy Melons. So, WTF are these videos about?

Well, it turns out that Clarion released these videos to pique some interest in their new mobile media/GPS device, the Clarion MiND. The videos were designed to showcase various features of the product in real life situations, albeit in very, very abstract ways. Viewers were subsequently led to this mini-site, TheMiNDZone.TV, for some more videos that explained the relevance to the product and connect the dots so-to-speak. You still with me? Good, more details on the product soon to come…

Trojan® Brand Condoms Invites Americans to Join
Josh Lucas, Gloria Reuben, Shwayze and Others to Talk About Sex

Evolve One, Evolve All Campaign Launches with Online Videos and Condom Donation Drive

Princeton, NJ • October 20, 2008 – The makers of Trojan® brand condoms and dozens of artists and celebrities have teamed up to talk openly about the state of sexual health in America in a new online campaign officially launching today titled Evolve One, Evolve All. The interactive program was created in partnership with MTV Networks (MTVN) Digital Fusion to address the alarming number of unplanned teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) currently experienced in the U.S. and give concerned Americans a place to take action.

Celebrities, musicians, filmmakers, artists and consumers are invited to lend their unique voice to the campaign by creating digital content that describes the state of sexual health in the United States. The digital content, some of which will feature familiar celebrity faces like  Josh Lucas, Alan Cumming, Gloria Reuben, Shwayze, Dana Delaney, Giancarlo Esposito and Matthew Modine will be posted on www.EvolveOneEvolveAll.com.

Each time a piece of artistic content is viewed, forwarded or submitted to the site, the makers of Trojan brand condoms will donate one condom to people at risk of STIs and unintended pregnancy. The goal is to educate, engage and empower young Americans to help donate 1 million condoms to the Great American Condom Campaign by World AIDS Day, December 1, and in the process evolve 1 million people and start a positive sexual health movement in America.

The facts are clear. Each year in the U.S., there are over 56,000 new cases of HIV¹ and 19 million new STIs² diagnosed; and three million unintended pregnancies ((U.S. Teenage Pregnancy Statistics: National and State Trends and Trends by Ethnicity. The Guttmacher Institute, New York, September 2006. Available at: http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/2006/09/12/USTPstats.pdf.)). There are currently 65 million people living with incurable STIs³ and more than half of all Americans will contract an STI in their lifetime⁴.

“We are continuing down a dangerous road of declining sexual health, so the goal of this program is to use new channels to inspire young people to talk about the issue and the importance of using condoms as part of the solution,” says Jim Daniels, vice president of marketing, Trojan brand condoms. “It’s time for all Americans to take personal responsibility for the current state of sexual health in this country and stand up for change. The Evolve One, Evolve All initiative gives them the platform to do just that.”

Visitors to the Evolve One, Evolve All web site are invited to join the conversation. They can share their own voice and opinion by uploading a video or sharing a comment. They can also participate by simply viewing and sharing educational and entertaining videos developed by professional and amateur artists and filmmakers.

“We know that sexual health is an important issue for young people. Our goal is to make it easy, fun and compelling to participate in positively evolving our country’s attitudes towards condoms and the vital role they play in maintaining our sexual health,” says Jason Witt, Senior Vice President and GM, MTVN Digital Fusion. “The power of this initiative exists not only in the deep relevance of these messages but the number of venues and formats through which consumers can view, share and contribute to the platform.”

The Evolve One, Evolve All condom drive is part of the Trojan Evolve Campaign which is designed to make Americans aware of the alarming state of sexual health in America and encourage them to evolve their attitudes, behaviors and actions regarding the use of condoms. Trojan is also taking its message directly to the people with the Trojan Evolve National Tour, which includes a 40-foot interactive bus and virtual “Scream Machine” rollercoaster ride. The tour will stop at dozens of college campuses and metro markets this year, disseminating sexual health facts and inviting students, and all Americans, to take a personal pledge to use a condom every time.

To participate in the Evolve One, Evolve All condom drive, please visit www.EvolveOneEvolveAll.com.
