CHICAGO (AdAge.com) — Starbucks is going Red. Amid projections that it won't see improved same-store sales until 2009, the coffee chain today launches a full-scale holiday promotion with Project Red including TV ads from new agency BBDO themed, "It's more than coffee." As part of the holiday push, Starbucks will divert five cents from every holiday beverage sold to fund African AIDS programs.
None of the big shots featured in Celebrity PingPong magazine would stand a chance in a match against a nunchuck-wielding Bruce Lee. This amazing viral video leads to a Web site where a digitized Lee kicks some ass with his Nokia N96 phone. Though made for a Chinese audience (ostensibly for a product sold in China), the video has traveled around the world in a few short days. No doubt, like me, the world is now going to travel to China to pick up an N96 and a little bit of Bruce Lee sickness.

Your average fashion show is fascinating in content but boring in delivery. The same lighting, the same models, the same electronically mixed music pounding down on the runway. The idea is to focus on the clothes, but if that’s true, why bother sticking them on hot, skinny chicks to begin with? Some designers break away by covering their models’ faces or hiring unconventional models. But designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac shatters the paradigm by displaying his new spring/summer 2009 collection in an animated Lego fashion show titled “Plastic Architecture.” The show was brought to life by France’s Four-H and The Lego Group. If you’re wondering who would wear such kitschy pop-culture duds, Katy Perry snagged headlines at the EMAs (MTV’s European Music Awards) by wearing this Obama dress from Castelbajac’s collection as one of her 12 costume changes. Maybe Lego needs to start collaborating with Bravo instead of Lucas Arts. I’d buy Lego Project Runway over Lego Star Wars any day. Via Adverblog.
