2008: The Best-Ever Year in Sports?


Sports fans and commentators alike love to debate "best evers" — "best-ever team," "best-ever finals," "best-ever MVP." Surely 2008 would earn the crown "best year ever for sports" if such an award existed. In a year in which TV was plagued by the writers strike, sports broadcasters could not have written a better script. And it showed, with great stories and live TV delivering record audiences.

Have you trademarked your shop’s slogan?

Rga_2

This digital stuff moves fast, even the catchphrases. That’s why it’s important to stake your claims. I got an e-mail from R/GA that included something unusual. Its standard phrase introducing the shop as “R/GA, the agency for the digital age” suddenly­ included a trademark symbol on the end of it. It turns out R/GA trademarked the phrase “the agency for the digital age” earlier this year. In fact, I was wondering which agency was the one for the digital age. Just to be sure, I asked Google. R/GA doesn’t show up in the first few pages of results in searches for “agency for the digital age.” Alas. R/GA’s not the only one looking to grab futurey catchphrases. Avenue A/Razorfish has trademarked the phrase “social influence marketing.” I can’t help but wonder if this kind of stuff is really worth the time and effort. One Twitter user under the moniker MrT_TheAngel has his doubts: “‘T’ thinks those suckas should have a trademark on dumbass.”

Wait For It…NOW!

To celebrate the end of the month of Ramadan, which I admittedly know about only thanks to Wikipedia, here’s a not-so-new-but-still-hilarious spot for Nando’s (a chicken place) that only those of you who are really serious about burning away those sins will truly understand. The rest of us can laugh awkwardly in shame.

For Lent this year, I’m giving up gin. Sorry New Amsterdam, I guess you’ll have to look elsewhere for financial support. At least I won’t be giving up knowing that Rosh Hashanah isn’t a person.
