Ted Tuesday: Shia Labeouf "If You Are Tired Of Starting Over, Stop Giving Up!"

You've only got three choices in life: Give up, give in or give it all you've got!

Good Morning Folks,

I've got a plane to catch so I'll be brief.

Today something corny and unusual but there is  reason that it is blowing up the Internet with over two million views overnight.

Actual cannibal Shia LaBeouf and his rattail are up to their old tricks again. No, they haven't been arrested, and no, their privates are not dangling in plain sight, but they are once again attracting attention with erratic behavior.

As part of a collaborative project with students at Central Saint Martins art school in London, called #INTRODUCTIONS, Shia LaBeouf recently stood in front of a green screen and spouted philosophical musings for a half-hour. (The last three minutes is just him intoning 'om' like Don Draper in the final episode of Mad Men.) The stand-out portion of the video, though, and the clip currently traversing the Internet with considerable velocity, is a full-minute of Shia LaBeouf exhorting the viewer to JUST DO IT. YouTuber Michael McNeff culled the video from the green screen rant, setting it up as the most intense (fake) TED Talk of all time.

The embattled actor's motivational speech was repurposed into a fake TED Talk, and it will make you want to just do something.

The key takeaway: "if you are tired of starting over, stop giving up!"

Have a look.


Thanks to CO.create and to you for listening.

Have a GREAT Day,
