Yahoo spreads some Gogol Bordello love to the web on their new website Start Wearing Purple.

http://startwearingpurple.yahoo.com/

The hotsite intends to celebrate not only Yahoo’s official color, but also “that unique, charmingly eccentric side of all of us“.  With some fun purple trivia, purple gadgets and a whole purple set of mind (whatever that is), the site does a great job on bringing back Yahoo’s culture, that has been in so bad shape lately, after the failed Microsoft deal.

One of the most interesting parts of the site are the videos prouced by agent Todd (of ImprovEverywhere and Frozen Grand Central fame). Several people were filmed in a Manhattan elevator, with a new performer getting on at each stop and singing Bordello’s “Start Wearing Purple”. I’ll leave you with the reactions:

A few months ago, one of the missions of ImproveEverywhere went viral, the now famous Frozen Grand Central. The stunt then had iterations around the world in several cities.

It was about time that Lisbon had such a prank, and with Rodrigo as the organizer, we managed to get 65 agents downtown Lisbon.
Rua Augusta is one of the busiest streets, with lots of tourists, and this last Saturday was particularly crowded with people getting ready to watch Portugal-Turkey for Euro 2008. All went well, with no police intrusion or harassment of the agents, but i’ll let the video (in portuguese) speak for itself:

Paradinha video on Youtube

I found myself freezing for 5 minutes, while carrying the book Groundswell. Oh, the irony.

That’s right. A fully animated Dilbert with his own channel.
You can know stop pretending that you’re working, and have a good long laugh watching the videos below:

Soul-O-Meter and Catbert, Evil H.R. Director

Drunken Lemurs and Payroll Management

Catbert, Evil H.R. Director and Spooky

The Key to Happiness and Top Performer

Any resemblance of the videos with your own corporate culture is pure coincidence.
Now it’s just a matter of time until a circular comic strip shows up, with Dilbert on YouTube talking about YouTube and Dilbert. Ok, my bad joke. Blame it on Catbert.

But speaking of dead-tree comics, is there any character or strip that you would love to see animated ?
