If I read the press release correctly, Los Angeles agency 86theonions is now calling itself ecopop.

In Chad Rea’s own words, “ecopop is about merging capitalism and global responsibility with a populist/iconic slant. Unlike the current trend, which involves corporate grandstanding and asking consumers to change, ecopop is committed to creating demand, influence, social currency, and profitability for businesses interested in social change. We do this by creating, marketing, advising or owning products and services, ranging from consumer goods to entertainment properties and media initiatives.”

In the wake of the recent green flood, Chad recognized it would be ridiculous to think that the majority of people in the U.S. really care about the green movement. In fact, it has become abundantly clear that the very word ‘green’ is enough to make most non-vegan Californians go out and buy a Hummer wrapped in non biodegradable fiberglass. The green community has succeeded in branding themselves as an elitist group, which is not in the best interest of our planet. Chad determined that green was just one color on the ecological spectrum, ecopop is the whole box of crayons.

LONDON – Hotel booking company Hotel Reservation Service has appointed Kitcatt Nohr Alexander Shaw as its integrated advertising agency following a competitive pitch.

It has now been over two years since we switched back to commercial-archive.com from ad-rag.com but only a handful of people that link to us have actually changed their blogrolls.

The reason we switched in short: ad blockers blocked the URL ad-rag.com. We thought this was kind of sucky and fought it tooth and nail, but alas, we can not make every ad blocker out there make an exception for us, so we simply switched URL’s back to our 1999 one.

We’d really really appreciate it if you, who carry our link in a blogroll or something like that, corrected the link as people who surf with ad blockers on can not even see it, defeating the whole purpose of you showing off the link.

Today I shut off the redirects for our old feed URL as well. If you want to subscribe to our feed, it’sbest you use the new one(s):
