A copywriter and some of his friends have put together a fun Web site, where you can see what they think the world could be like if Sarah Palin makes it into the White House, and apparently John McCain is no longer around.
Cue PalinAsPresident dot com. It’s a fun poke at the Alaska governor, and might help relieve some stress.

It’s debate season and Campbell’s and Progresso aren’t about to let the big promisers have all the fun. Adweek has the story of the two packaged goods companies and their various arguments over MSG. It’s an debate with an obvious and elegant answer–both soup companies could eliminate MSG from their products. That’s the kind of win-win-win consumers might be receptive to.

Would you like to dine mid-day with the lovely heiress to the Trump fortune?
Of course, you would.
Well, now it’s almost possible, as Ivanka Trump, in tandem with ConAgra Foods, plans to swap out your boring brown bag lunch with something a bit sexier.
According to Ad Age, the product launch on Oct. 21 will be an experiential “Lunch Trade” in two cities, where working Americans will be given Ivanka’s new meal in a challenge to change the way they eat lunch at work.
Trump has a new blog where she’s supporting the packaged goods play. She says:
With gas and food prices on the rise, more and more people are skipping the deli line and bringing lunch to work to save money. This is great, but all I hear is how boring a brown bag lunch can get and how people want something different, especially when they are stuck at their desks—something I completely relate to.
That copy sounds caged to me. Ghost writer, come out come out wherever you are.

We hate that Fiji Water ships its product half way around the world. Honestly, it’s the dumbest thing, ever. Yeah, it tastes like the water (we imagine) God drinks, and yeah FW offsets their carbon footprint (which isn’t really possible) and yeah their marketing strategy is solid. But in the long list of pointless products that humans (esp. Americans) waste time, energy, money and resources on, bottled water is by far the tops.
And a new report found that bottled water contains the same contaminants as tap water, ah, because most bottled water comes from a tap before getting filtered by an over-sized Brita equivalent and shot into a BPA contaminated bottle (OK, maybe Fiji Water is legit — but it’s still bad for you in the sense that a lot of shit had to get contaminated for that water to hit your lips).
Get into it with us, after the jump.

The much awaited album from Guns N’ Roses is set to debut any minute — all the band needs is an ad agency to provide the creative solutions to get their music out there.
MarketingWeek reports that Universal Music, the group’s representation, may already be reaching out to London shops in search of a marketing effort to precede the launch of “Chinese Democracy” — the band’s first album since 1993.
There’s no word yet on who UM has contacted, so sharpen those pencils and come up with the next great program. Just a note: MW said that given the tumultuous status of the music industry, GNR may be flirting with some kind of freebie — ala Prince, Oasis, Coldplay and Radiohead.
