Posted in: UncategorizedBGH: Ódio ao verão
Posted in: UncategorizedCom o verão, vem a insuportável temperatura de terceiro mundo. A falta de dignidade. Pessoas suando o dia inteiro. Axilas e panças à mostra. Regatas. Gente queimada de sol, com marca de óculos na cara. O tempo preferido do câncer de pele.
A BGH, que fez a famosa campanha de ar condicionado mostrando pais de sunga, volta para dizer que pode te salvar das agruras da pior estação do ano.
Essa é a única maneira para você não se tornar um psicopata, como o protagonista desse comercial. Seu desejo é que os bronzeadores fossem transformados em gasolina, acabando com essas pessoas que afirmam “amaaaaar o verão!”.
O senhor louco colocou a temperatura em 24 graus. É muito. 18° é o mínimo necessário para uma vida agradável, com bom humor e sem morder ninguém.

Sorry, This Subject Line Did NOT Help Obama Win Reelection
Posted in: UncategorizedLast week in my Last Word column I wrote about the Obama-Biden team’s clever and annoying use of email marketing. I served up a list of some of my favorite (or maybe I should say “favorite”) email subject lines from the campaign along with one decoy, and I issued a challenge: Identify the fake and tell me whose line it actually is, and you could win some free organic toothpaste. (Why organic toothpaste? Here, let me explain.)
Despite the weird and unglamorous prize, 124 people entered. Nearly 9 out of 10 entrants correctly identified the line — “Baby take a chance or you’ll never ever know” — that was not actually an Obama-Biden campaign email subject line. Many correctly attributed it to Justin Bieber (it’s a lyric from his song “Boyfriend”), often making excuses about how they knew this (e.g., “I sadly know all the lyrics because my boys play it on an endless loop,” according to one entrant). The randomly selected winner? Caitlin J., who works at Dwolla. Congratulations, Caitlin!
Some entrants, shockingly, guessed wrong. In fact, “Our biggest sale EVER,” “20% OFF storewide” and “Michael Jordan” — submitted by multiple entrants — were actually all subject lines sent out by the Obama-Biden campaign.

Oh My! George Takei Touts Old Navy’s Cheermageddon
Posted in: UncategorizedAlready a sensation because he was a member of the original Star Trek crew. Already a sensation because of his prominence in social media. And now a sensation for belting out a version of Aerosmith’s Armageddon theme, I Don’t Want to Miss A Thing during last night’s American Music Awards, George Takei touts Old Navy’s Cheermageddon, a holiday sale of epic proportion.
Takei appears in two spots, created by CP+B, for the brand; a special :60 which aired once during the awards and a :30 which will air throughout the holiday season. Each spot touts the brand’s Black Friday offerings.
As George would say, Oh my!
