Watch adidas Football’s Latest Ad “Blah Blah Blah” Starring Paul Pogba

by Daniel Pearson

adidas Football has released a new advert starring Paul Pogba which pokes fun at the speculation surrounding his rumored transfer to Manchester United.

The clip, titled “Blah Blah Blah,” opens up with the Juventus and France midfielder laughing at a mocked up newspaper with his face on the front page, before endless headlines reading “blah blah blah” follow him around his daily life.

Pogba has been persistently linked with Manchester United and Real Madrid all summer and a move back to Old Trafford worth at least £100 million appears close. But in the clip, the Frenchman tells the camera, “Don’t believe everything you read in the papers.”

The clip is advertising adidas’ new film series First Never Follows, with one for each of the six biggest Three Stripe-sponsored clubs: Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Chelsea, Juventus and AC Milan.

Pogba is joined in the clip by Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho, and British grime artist Stormzy, who imparts his trademark “shut up” upon seeing the headlines. Check it out above.

More importantly, though, what do footballers crazy hairstyles and group sex scandals have in common?

This Drone Lets You Cheat to Become a ‘Pokémon GO’ Master

by Daniel Pearson

The only problem with Pokémon GO is that you have to leave the house into daylight and fresh air to do actual physical exercise. Worse still, a short trip down to the store will never bare the rarest Pokémon, you have to seek them out in forests, along rivers, and pretty much everywhere that isn’t your bedroom.

That sucks. That’s why TRNDSlabs created the Pokédrone –  a lightweight drone which enables you to catch them all. Once connected via WiFi to your phone, the Pokémon GO app uses the Pokédrone’s GPS and camera instead of your phone’s. Its auto take-off & land function means there is no need to worry about your flying skills, and it can also hover in one place making it super easy to catch them.

In seriousness, for hardcore players that genuinely aren’t just a bit lazy, the Pokédrone will prove vital in certain situations like catching the creatures over lakes and dangerous highways. Head over to the company’s website to be notified of its availability.

Before you think about purchasing, here’s everything you need to know about the game in nine minutes.

Also, this Pokémon of New York parody is hilarious.
