Site “multa” obcecados por selfies

Parece que alguém finalmente pensou em alguma coisa bacana a partir da onda de selfies que toma conta das redes sociais – e muito provavelmente de todo o resto. Selfie Police é o nome de um site que se propõe a levantar dinheiro para obras de caridade ao “multar” aquelas pessoas que adoram ficar tirando fotos de si mesmas. O valor da penalidade? US$ 1.

O site permite que os usuários “denunciem” aquelas pessoas que têm exagerado no egocentrismo, dando a elas a oportunidade de se redimir ajudando outras pessoas. O pagamento é feito diretamente às entidades, via PayPal.

O Selfie Police ainda conta com um mural dos “mais procurados” e, acredite se quiser, nem mesmo o ator Jimmy Fallon escapou.

Just a day after we learned that Arnold Schwarzenegger would appear in one of Bud Light's Super Bowl ads, Anheuser-Busch InBev has released six teaser clips for the celebrity-stacked spots.

Watch Arnold Schwarzenegger Pitch for Bud Light in Teaser for Super Bowl Ads

Today the brand released teasers for the ads, which include Arnold Schwarzenegger, Don Cheadle, comedian/musician Reggie Watts and a llama. The campaign is the debut work for BBDO, which won the account last year.

The New York Post on Friday reported Mr. Schwarzenegger would be paid $3 million for his appearance.

Surprise: Dad Blogger Finds Most Ads Portray Dads Well After All


A dad blogger in search of outrage about how dads are treated in ads has discovered to his surprise that most ads last year portrayed dads pretty well.

Zach Rosenberg, author of the 8bitdad.com blog, sifted through 140 ads showing dads that he’d seen on TV and were captured by iSpot.tv last year. “Dad bloggers often sit around in their secret online societies and discuss exactly how bad dads look in commercials,” Mr. Rosenberg wrote. But when he methodically watched and evaluated the ads, he rated 60% of the ads “good” or “mostly good” in their portrayal of dads, and only 20% “bad” or “very bad.” He rated the other 20% as “neutral.”
