Google Makes Quiet Huge Deal – GE Adds GOOG 411 to Phone Keypad

AdCamo Network Brands Web Page Backgrounds

We’ve seen brands taking over web sites and pasting their visuals on backgrounds, but AdCamo is an entire network that embeds CPC and CPM ad tiles embedded into backgrounds. I think the per-click part comes from the accompanying banner unit displayed on the same page.

Corey Haim would like to have more money

Haimad
We figured Corey Haim had hit rock bottom when he and Cory Feldman launched a reality TV show to cash in on their status as VH1 nostalgia punch lines. But fate, as it often does, threw Haim a shovel and told him to keep digging. The result is this full page ad in Variety, in which the Haimster signals that he’s ready to get back to work and “make amends.” Dotting the “i” in his name with a heart really caps off his New Age smarm. Not sure if he’ll get any work from this, but having never seen anyone grovel to such a degree, we can’t help but be entertained. Via Defamer.

It’s better than good?

Wig
A while back it was decided that the men in red wigs weren’t the right brand direction for Wendy’s, so they scraped it. Now, as recently as a week ago, Wendy’s new spots from kirshenbaum bond + partners have begun to air on television (and are now on Wendy’s web site, too). If you haven’t seen them yet, they’re quite the departure from the previous red wig campaign (which I was fond of). The reviews haven’t been so glorious so far, but this is the first effort, maybe they’ll turn a corner.

My question is the new tag line, which is "Waaaay better than fast food. It’s Wendy’s." Is it me, or is that a bit similar to Sonic’s, "It’s not just good… it’s Sonic good." Not that it’s a bad thing to copy something that’s working, but I think it’s a bit too close.

What do you think? Is there room for two fast food chains to have similar tag lines?
