Randy Pausch has made his last lecture, and commercial. R.I.P.

Posted by Dabitch on Jul 25 2008 | Filed under:

advertising news

"The world-famous Professor known for his last lecture has produced his last commercial." Adland's Robblink said when he posted Lustgarten Foundation – Randy Pausch commercial on the 16th. Randy Pausch died this morning of complications from pancreatic cancer.
Those who want to see his life-affirming "last lecture" (warning, filled with hilarious jokes about dying) can see the whole two hour last lecture here (steaming wmv) - or you can read WSJ summary or you can see some clips at the post gazette.

Drunk women in little skirts & stiletto heels look as stupid on W Village cobblestones as in Portland's Old Port. Much better shoes though.

@ModaMags - SNL should just do 90 minutes of commercial parodies. It's about the only thing they're consistently funny at anymore.
