(TrendHunter.com) These incredibly bizarre Christian Louboutin stilettos like they would leave the wearer in absolute agony, but that’s part of the point. They’re part of the Fetish exhibit at the Galerie du Passage in Paris.

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Recently, two executives at Cadbury Schweppes were playing "Guitar Hero III" at work and began pondering how cool it would be if Axl Rose finally released a new album. What happened next will probably serve as a case study for how a well-placed press release can drum up tons of media coverage. Axl even responded and said the album would be done before the end of the year.

LOS ANGELES (AdAge.com) — Late last January, "High School Musical" ingenue Ashley Tisdale entered a Los Angeles music studio to lay down four tracks. In June, those covers of '80s pop hits will become exclusively available via the website for Unilever's Degree Girl deodorant. Each of the four deodorant scents will carry a pass code for a free song download.
God bless the folks over at the Touch blog, who have compiled some of the most amazingly awkward rap-themed commercials of the '80s. Our favorites include all the Fruity Pebbles ones as well as the "Perfect Strangers" one where Balki completely drops his faux-Eastern-Bloc accent for his verses.

The above quote was just one of many Mariah Carey has said. Speaking of Miss Carey, has anyone been paying attention to the metamorphosis that this “butterfly” has made? No longer, the innocent, multiple octave singer she used to be, Mariah seems to have slipped into the common, but all too ill-fated trap of using sex and sultry R&B crooning to sell albums. It seems that this singer is playing strip poker with each album that is released. I’m afraid of what the album cover will look like if she ends up making another record!
LONDON – Thinkbox is relaunching its website next month to reflect the growing area of emerging TV technologies.
If you can’t stand the gaps between John Hodgman’s new “Get a Mac” ads, and his three-sentence blog entries are too much of a commitment, I have good news. Hodgman has now jumped on the Twitter train. Like everyone else, he’s still trying to figure out the micro-blogging service, and he occasionally violates Tangerine Toad’s Twitter Commandments by doing things like saying “Good morning.†Actually, his feed reads more like a parody of Twitter than anything, with posts often consisting solely of messages like “GRADE A NON SEQUITUR†and “BATTLESTAR GALACTICA REFERENCE.†But hey, it’s better than @justinlong.

Pardon me while I play catch-up with some of the submitted links I managed to not have time to post during this messy week.
Skywriting move over – now there’s flogo (presumably at www.flogo.net but their site seems bust) – it’s like a mini Foam City in the sky. What they’ve done according to livescience is “uses re-purposed artificial snow machines to generate the floating ads and messages, dubbed Flogos. The machines can pop one Flogo out every 15 seconds, flooding the air with foamy peace signs or whatever shape a client desires. Renting the machine for a day starts out at a cost of about $2,500.” Seems more like sky-logo confetti to me but whatever floats your boat.

It's time to add to my holi-blog series and reflect on the Latino connection to Passover. For those keeping track, I missed Cesar Chavez day. I know. For that I am truly sorry (but I was busy volunteering and giving back). I can also tell you in advance I'm taking a pass on Cinco de Mayo.
