    May the paws be with you 19 January 2012 9:48 GMT

    Bungee stunt makes for awesome footage 28 October 2011 17:42 GMT

    Usually we'd steer clear of obvious PR stunts. Well, unless they are particularly good or involve us receiving a nice cake.

    This effort from US car giant Chevrolet falls into the former, rather than the latter (shame, as we've got a craving...

    "Comedy" tribute to outgoing Apple CEO 7 September 2011 10:45 GMT

    Apparently this Jay-Z inspired "What More Can I Say?" remix in honour of former Apple CEO Steve Jobs is by a "group of comedic songwriters" - but we don't see the comedy ourselves.
