Absolut Ad: Amusing Ourselves to Death

April 14th, 2008  |  by Tommy  |  published in Advertising, Branding, Culture

It seems that for the past several weeks more than a few people are little upset (that would be an understatement) by this Absolut print ad that shows the borders of the United States as they were many centuries ago (or close to it). The campaign was produced by Teran/TBWA, Mexico City.
Some wingnuts have suggested […]

April Fools: AdSense for Conversations

April 1st, 2008  |  by Tommy  |  published in Culture, Technology

I am not a fan of April Fools jokes. Not by a long shot cause most are, well not very funny. However, Google seems to be able to pull off their jokes more often then not. And a case in point is their AdSense for Conversations. Google explains at their Inside AdSense blog:
Now, in just […]

I’ve Asked Myself This Question More Than Once

March 24th, 2008  |  by Tommy  |  published in Advertising, Culture

Advertising Got Better

February 22nd, 2008  |  by Tommy  |  published in Advertising, Culture

Pentagram Partner and Creativity 50 Honoree Paula Scher has an interesting interview with Creativity Magazine where she outlines how she believes advertising has improved recently, but nobody in the design community seems to care and/or notice.
I’m not sure that the graphic design community as a whole is paying any attention to this. I don’t see […]

MSNBC News Programming MIA

January 1st, 2008  |  by Tommy  |  published in Culture

I am totally confused by MSNBC’s running reruns all day yesterday and today. I mean I get there are college football games on and who can’t want to watch a Monk marthon for the 50th time, but people are off work and maybe a few of us are news junkies.
I kind of thought MSNBC was […]

Agent Zero’s New Shoes

December 26th, 2007  |  by Tommy  |  published in Culture, Sports

As I’ve mentioned in the past Gilbert Arenas (aka Agent Zero) is one of my favorite sports figures. I mean he even writes his own blog that isn’t filtered by some PR flak. Well I guess when my parents asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I said Agent Zeros TS Lightswitch Gil EA […]

CNN Enters the Virtual World of Second Life

December 25th, 2007  |  by Tommy  |  published in Culture, Gaming

Well this is an interesting story. CNN is going to open up an I-Report hub in the virtual world of Second Life. For those of you not in the “know” Second life is a three-dimensional virtual world pretty much created by users. I personally have never understood the all the “buzz,” although I admit I’ve […]

Sorry PR People: You’re Blocked

November 5th, 2007  |  by Tommy  |  published in Blogs, Culture, Email Marketing

This is just great. Chris Anderson the Editor in Chief of Wired Magazine and the author of The Long Tail has had it with PR flacks and he is fighting back. I’ll let him explain from a recent blog post of his.
I’ve had it. I get more than 300 emails a day and my […]
