It's almost hard to believe the Olympics are finally here. It seems like it's taken forever. The words "Beijing" and "Olympics" are so crossed in my mind now that I am worried I will accidentally order a roast Olympic duck the next time I eat out.

I am from the East — I grew up in India — and have been part of the Coca-Cola family for the last 15 years. China and its people have fascinated me since I started going there regularly three years ago. Apart from having the privilege to lead our global program for these games, I have enjoyed the time I've spent in China. These games are important to us given that they are happening in China one of our biggest and most important markets.

From the looks of things, Bob Hoffman found his inner contrarian a long time ago.
In the most recent post on his blog, Ad Contrarian, he spells out what it takes to write copy that will court an online audience.
The F Word: It’s Fucking Awesome!
On the internet, content is king. And dirty words is queen.
If you are writing a blog, you must be hard-boiled and never show weakness. You must not let on that you are from Scarsdale and went to Hofstra and worked at Grey. You must show the world that you’re an anarchistic, hard-living, hard-drinking bastard. And what better way to be a bad-ass mothafucka than to use naughty language.
Words like “fuck”, “bullshit”, “douchenozzle” and “dickhead” make your copy sing! Put a few of them together and you’ve got magic — “Fucking dickhead!”, “Fucking douchenozzle!”, “Fucking fuck!”
The ability to express complex concepts in a censorship-free environment is what makes the web great. Well, that and those super hot pictures of Brit.

USA Today points to this study from private equity firm, Veronis Suhler Stevenson, which forecasts media expenditures in the coming years.
VSS projects that communications spending will increase 5.4% to $923.91 billion in 2008, as strong gains in the institutional and alternative media sectors (like gaming) offset the downward pressure of declining traditional advertising spending.
VSS also notes that communications will be the second-fastest growing of the 15 U.S. economic sectors during the forecast period and will exceed $1 trillion in 2010, with spending reaching $1.183 trillion in 2012.
All good news for the the readers of AdPulp…
“You could call (2008) a tipping point,” with consumers poised for the first time to spend more on media than advertisers will, James Rutherfurd, VSS managing director, told USA Today.
Given that consumers are so willing to spend on the media they want, I can’t help but think brands might do well to make media worth selling (on top of the product or service they already sell).
Why make ads no one wants, when you could make media people will pay for?
