Hasta La Creative!

This is a book cover from the folks at breakingbadnewswithbabyanimals. Looks naughty and delicious. There is a very limited e-card functionality on the site with a few badnewsbaby missives you can send along to your friends, but hyping the book  is the main focus. A pity. Add the customizable functionality of someecards and it's easy to imagine these in the Internet sensation category with the potential to garner the authors more notice than the book itself. With the economy in tatters, I'm certain we all have use these.

– Like that other demi-god Oprah, Google takes a side in this tense, farcical battle for America’s future. – Speaking of Google, check out the drool-worthy exposure T-Mobile’s getting on its homepage. (It’s probably worth mentioning that Google serves…

Last night I saw the first ad for the T-Mobile G1, the first mobile handset built on Google’s Android platform.

In Atlanta, when you’re stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, getting the hell out of dodge is an appealing notion. And AirTran Airways (which is very popular here) is pushing that idea with skywriting:

AirTran Airways is turning to skywriting in the Atlanta area this week to advertise a sale.

The Orlando-based airline, which has its main hub in Atlanta, hired a pilot to trace messages in the sky such as “AIRTRAN SALE” and “FLY AIRTRAN.” The skywriting ads started Tuesday and have run above the Georgia Dome, over downtown and in other parts around the metropolitan area. On Wednesday, AirTran planned to skywrite a message above the intersection of Highways 285 and 75 in the Cobb Galleria area at around 5 p.m.

“We wanted to get people talking about travel again,” said AirTran spokesman Tad Hutcheson. “We found that people are spending a lot of time talking about the election and the different parties and the platforms, and the economy.”

It’s an interesting idea, and probably one of the more effective outdoor techniques you can use, but awards-show obsessed creative directors would definitely think it’s a insult.

The power of underground music.

To many people including yours truly, Deanna Russo is a virtual unknown. But when you attach to her name that she is a former Playboy model, expect eyes to roll and take notice. To go with that, you may be surprised that she even has a role in the latest Knight Rider movie, portraying the role of Sarah Graiman, Knightrider’s girlfriend.

Russo has also appeared in several commercials such as Axe, Ford and Disney. She posed for Playboy in December 2007 as “Babe of the Month”. She has also had stints with Maxim and made some appearances in TV series such as CSI and Charmed.

Quite a resume for someone who only got noticed because it was discovered that she posed for Playboy in the past. Talk about personal branding coming late!
