Comment on Amnesty International: Frau im Koffer by Ad Creep Update: Woman In Suitcase – ANIMAL

[…] Ad Creep Update is a regular feature on ANIMAL documenting the spreading epidemic of advertising media placement seeping into every nook and cranny of your daily life. “Anything to declare?” “Yes, one blonde slave.” If you’re a world traveler, you may have noticed the growing trend of ads on luggage conveyor belts. Well, Amnesty International in Germany recently raised the airport ad creepage alert level to red. According to AI, over 500,000 women and girls are victims of human trafficking every year. To indelibly imprint this into the minds of Deutschlanders, the human rights organization crammed a young volunteer into a clear suitcase and plopped her on carousels in German airports. I guess they got the authorities’ permission? “Stoppt Menschenhandel” translate as “stop slave trade.” No word on how long the shifts were for Frau Flexible. Jump for video footage of the creepy event. |Images and video: IBIA| […]

O promo reel da Gawker Media

A Gawker Media, dona de blogs blockbusters como Gizmodo, Kotaku, Lifehacker, Deadspin, entre outros, lançou um vídeo promocional para mostrar o quanto são legais e porque os anunciantes devem gastar sua verba com eles.

O promo reel está causando polêmica, já que reacende a velha e boba discussão da velha contra nova mídia. Pegaram trechos de programas de TV em que o conteúdo da Gawker é citado, além de cenas clássicas como articulistas da Fox e outros jornalistas dizendo que blogs são maléficos, mentirosos, jornalismo desonesto, entre outras críticas, e juntaram com depoimentos de leitores.

A despeito do conteúdo, é uma maneira clássica de se vender, e gostei do vídeo. A conclusão final é de arrepiar. Milagres da edição.
