So here’s Pepsi’s Bob’s House commercial in which two deaf guys get lost on their way to a friends house and resort to honking their horn to hep them locate the right house.
Today’s New York Times looks at what the MicroHoo! deal could mean for “the minnows,” a.k.a. valley startups hoping to be acquired.
No one (named in the article) really knows what it means, and people seem to be more concerned about the looming recession. However, the optimists have reason to believe “the recession” won’t hurt them.
True believers are likely to ward off recessionary fear with two numbers: 21 and 7. Twenty-one percent of the average American’s media-consumption time is spent online, analysts say, yet only 7 percent of all advertising is online. The hope is that advertising will inevitably shift online and close this gap, whatever the economic outlook.
(TrendHunter.com) Alexander McQueen has designed a suggestive and somehow astonishing sculpture within his collaboration with Puma.
The huge “Bones”, made of glass fiber and steel, has been inspired by the skeleton structure of both a puma and a man.

By now you’ve heard the spot GoDaddy’s Bob Parsons wants you to see won’t air during the game.
(TrendHunter.com) Just when men seem to have worked out all the bra-logistics out there needed for seamless romantic manoeuvres, in enters Spanx and creates an innovative and revolutionary hosiery bra that will leave men asking themselves, “Is she, or isn’t she wearing a bra?”
The patent-pending sensual design fits …

So is this photo obscene? Virginia Beach police think so.
Police, saying they were responding to citizen complaints, carted away two large promotional photographs from the Abercrombie & Fitch store in Lynnhaven Mall on Saturday and cited the manager on obscenity charges.
Adam Bernstein, a police spokesman, said the seizure and the issuance of the summons came only after store management had not heeded warnings to remove the images.
The citation was issued under City Code Section 22.31, Bernstein said, which makes it a crime to display “obscene materials in a business that is open to juveniles.” He did not say what was being done with the pictures and when the manager, whose name was not released, is scheduled to appear in court.
I think that obscenity laws are different in every community. So does a national brand like Abercrombie have an obligation to conform to local standards?
A click leads you here to play a surprisingly engaging and difficult advergame.
And yeah, I added Alka-Seltzer to today’s shopping list. Well played, Speedy. Well played.
The Coca-Cola spot with the parade balloons got the biggest applause from the creative group during our live chat at SuperAdFreak on Sunday night. (The game itself did pretty well, too.) Head over to our sister blog for a full transcipt, as well as quarter-by-quarter analysis.
