Calling all Jammers

Get your submissions in for Issue #116: Politico!

We’re now entering the endgame our six-part series Blueprint for a New World. So far we’ve traversed the mindscape of Psycho, Eco, Corpo, Techno, and now we’re off to the races with Politico … which is shaping up to be our most neuron bending geopolitical fissure of all time.

In the aftermath of the Arab Spring, Occupy, Gezi Park and Sao Paulo uprisings, there was great hope, but now an emboldened mood of despair has taken hold. It is a feeling marked by the rise of General Sisi in Egypt, the disintegration of Syria, the street battles in Tripoli, the march of ISIS, Ukrainian uncertainty, massacres in Gaza and more. We wake up each morning and see a broken and militant psychic terrain emerging. Another civilizational narrative is likely underway, but its tones, its essence, its guts, no one has yet convincingly pinned down.

Are we at the start of a third world war? Is a new transparent, bottom up internet based world order struggling to be born? Have we finally reached the psychological, social, ecological and financial tipping points where nothing short of a total revolution of everyday life is the only possibility?

We’re looking for politically minded reader submissions with guts and fervour, to lend a voice to the most viscerally and politically charged under currents of our time. Are we entering the twilight of the West? How do you feel about politics? What can you do about it? What does it all add up to, if anything? What are the tactical breakthroughs we need to make?

If you’ve got a blast, a rant, a confession, a manifesto, a beef, a grievance, an epiphany, a dream, a vision, a visceral update from the frontlines or a new way of being to shout to the politico world … send it to editor@adbusters.org by Aug 4, 2014, and you could be featured in the next issue of Adbusters, while helping to nudge the world towards a much needed reckoning …

Ahhh, and don’t forget, at killcap.org, we’re hosting a global vote on the most hated criminal corporations in the world. Which one will you choose?

For the wild,
Adbusters

P.S. We’re looking for a fresh crop of activist translators to join our reinvigorated translators brigade. Help get Adbusters into Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, German, Swazi, Yiddish, French, Thai, Laotian, Vietnamese, Cantonese and beyond! Contact barbara@adbusters.org to lend your talents.

Global Protests Multiply

It’s time to free Gaza.

Leah McInnis

“What the hell is that?” they say, looking down from on high in corporate office buildings that scrape the sky, distant and removed from the human realities on the ground. Then they realize what we already know. A mass mobilization, a worldwide protest is going on. A global voice is saying no more killing, we want peace.

Another wave of protests is scheduled for this weekend in cities around the world. Toronto. Chicago. London. Rome. Edinburgh. Paris. Seattle. Berlin. Brussels. San Francisco, and many more. Will you march? Will you get out there and shout for humanity?

The Rebel Economist’s Notebook

Installment One: Organizing Insurrection

“Economics students are in rebellion.”

In May of this year, you could find a version of that headline splashed across the pages of newspapers and other publications in over 18 countries across the globe. That month, a global network of econ students calling ourselves the International Student Initiative for Pluralism in Economics (ISIPE) released our open letter calling for an overhaul of economics education and research. Overall, it was a very diplomatic call for change — demanding a simple widening of the range of schools of thought, methodology and interdisciplinary options offered in the standard econ curriculum. But the headlines read “rebellion!” Why?

Some students might shy away from the rebel label, but given what we’re up against, it’s a fitting one. The world of mainstream economics is a monolithic empire of thought if ever there was one. Any whisper of dissent against its fundamental tenets is bound to incur a crackdown from the thought police, who invariably brand us as misguided, and seek to tame our revolutionary fury with mild reforms.

To be a rebel in such a world is a badge of intellectual valor. It’s a mark of allegiance to free-inquiry. It’s a label we need to embrace and encourage others to embrace. But as economics students from Harvard to Sydney have found out, against the power of empire, rebellions can easily fizzle out.

So how do we build the power and resilience needed to challenge the orthodoxy, dislodge its high priests, topple their ivory towers, and bring reality back into the economics classroom? Speaking out in class is a start. Putting up provocative posters is a start. Issuing manifestos is another step forward. But to overcome the power of the thought police we have to get organized. Individual actions may help stir the waters of rebellion, but to transform our discontent into a relentless, transformative tide requires long-term strategic thinking and collaboration.

Thankfully, for the would be revolutionaries among us, there are some strategic precedents and organizing models to draw upon.

ISIPE provides a great case in point. Where past flare-ups of student discontent were relatively isolated, and insular, ISIPE now provides rebel economists with a global support network to share ideas, best practices, inspirational stories and other resources to keep our insurrections going and growing. Moreover, within the ISIPE community there are dozens of national-level student networks whose experiences can yield lessons for those of us working to launch national networks of our own, as in the United States.

If you’re a budding rebel economist, hopefully you’re wondering: How do I build a student group, get it active on my campus and get connected to the growing global movement? As another school year approaches, this blog series will explore exactly those questions in several more installments over the coming weeks. Drawing on the experiences of ISIPE, national networks, and other campus organizing models, I hope to shed some light on everything from how to recruit your classmates, to how to plan a campaign and keep your rebellion rolling for the long haul. Tune back in for tips on how to turn on the heat needed to beat the thought police and transform our the economic student rebellion into a full on revolution.

Johnson's Baby Turns to Social-Media Transparency to Woo Millennial Moms


Johnson & Johnson’s flagship baby brand is launching its biggest ever social-media effort to reach millennial moms. Initially, it will be focused on a promise to remove controversial ingredients from products in what the company calls a move toward “transparency communications.”

“Our Promise,” the first of what will ultimately be more than 40 videos in the program, launches today, featuring Johnson’s Baby brand employees, J&J colleagues and their families making origami storks from paper where they’ve written their individual commitments to consumers, often along the lines of putting safety first.

The idea was inspired by a Japanese legend that “when you make 1,000 origami cranes it signifies a hope granted and a promise fulfilled,” J&J notes in the video. “We are moms, dads, parents just like you,” according to text in the video. “We heard your concern about certain ingredients in our products. Although always safe, for your peace of mind, we removed them.”

Samsung Erects 'Living Color' Billboards in Global Galaxy Tab Push


To showcase the visual capabilities of its new Galaxy Tab S, Samsung has created a global out-of-home color design display using the same technologies as its tablet in hopes of provoking an emotional response among those who pass by.

The digital out-of-home ads will run in high-traffic areas in six cities across the world, beginning in New York City today and rolling out in Amsterdam, London, Milan, Singapore and Toronto over the next few weeks.

The interactive designs, billed as “Color Therapy,” are customized for each region. They change colors and shapes in nearly 150 ways based on the weather and “move” like a screensaver. The New York board uses ink to represent the flow of the city, and the London installation mimics the moment when raindrops hit the ground. The displays also counterbalance the weather by responding with cool tones when it is hot or dry or a warmer color range when the weather is cold or wet.

Leave It to a Laxative Brand to Make the Year's Most Uncomfortable Ad

At first glance, this Dulcolax ad draws you in with its warm sepia tones and lovely vignetted glow. Then you look closer, and … oh my God. Are those turds in prison?

Indeed, orange is the new brown in this extremely odd laxative ad, showing what appear to be the stinky love children of the Michelin Man and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Turdles?) awaiting sweet release from bowel purgatory. And they’re huddled around … is that … ? No, it’s not the Sarlacc Pit that almost eats Han Solo and Lando Calrissian.

“Only you can set them free,” explains the tagline. If the point is to make the viewer as uncomfortable as a constipation sufferer, mission accomplished.

The agency, McCann Health in Shanghai, says the ad ran in Singapore newspapers and bus shelters. “Instead of approaching the dramatization from the patient’s [point of view], we approached it from the excrement’s,” the agency says. True enough.

Brand awareness is up “from almost zero to 21 percent” among the target, McCann claims, and the purchase intention rate increased 57 percent. The agency adds that it expects similar success from the next round of “media bursts” this year.

Expedia Travels Back in Time to Recreate Your Best Throwback Thursday Photos

Expedia and 180LA have done a nice job lately of thinking more broadly about the concept of travel, going beyond physical journeys into emotional, even spiritual ones. (Among its more memorable ads was the 2012 spot about the father’s difficult journey to accepting his lesbian daughter.)

Now, the travel site is getting even more ambitious—and more social—as it travels back in time with a fun project around people’s Throwback Thursday photos.

Between now and the end of August, Expedia is asking Instagram and Twitter users to tag their #tbt photo with @Expedia and #ThrowMeBack. Each week the company will pick one lucky winner and give them a travel voucher so they can indulge their nostagia and return to the place where the photo was taken—and recreate it.

Or, says Expedia, you can travel somewhere different and make a new memory—which seems to suggest this campaign is less about actually recreating the old snapshots and more about just piggybacking on the #tbt trend in general. However, the brand is asking the winners to send in the recreated photos with the goal at the end of the campaign of telling a photo story with all the side-by-sides.

“We all have great memories of summer vacations,” says Dave Horton, creative director at 180LA. “So to promote the nostalgia of summer travel, we wanted to tap into the most nostalgic trend out there, #tbt.”

To promote the contest, Expedia has posted the video below, “Back to Ocean Beach,” showing one family’s journey from Washington State to their old beach spot in San Diego to recreate a cute photo from the ’80s.

Internet Hero Hunts Down All 74 Stickers From Apple's New Ad

If you watched that new Apple ad with dozens of stickers adorning a MacBook Air and felt compelled to track down all 74 in real life, I have bad news and good news.

The bad news is, uh, that’s a strange and unnatural compulsion you’ve got there. The good news? Someone already did it for you!

Mike Wehner at The Unofficial Apple Weblog sussed out all 74 stickers featured in the ad, and while several weren’t actually available for purchase, he came up with some pretty good alternatives.

You’d think that a brand that built a commercial around customizing its product would have planned to offer all of its examples for easy purchase, but apparently not. Maybe Apple was hoping to target people who already own cool decals and convince them to buy a nice $1,000 computer or two to go with them.



Nike Packages Ultra-Flexible Sneakers in a Tiny Shoebox 1/3 of the Regular Size

Here’s a lovely little packaging idea from Nike, and we do mean little.

The Nike Free 5.0 is one of the most flexible sneakers ever made. And that’s clear right from looking at the box, which was designed to be one-third the size of a regular shoebox.

As you can see from the video below, the sneakers easily fold up and fit inside. It’s a cool idea for a few reasons—it uses less cardboard, it cuts down on shipping space, and of course, it communicates a product benefit right in the packaging. A great example of thinking outside the box—about the box.

Unfortunately, it was only promotional packaging for the launch, and wasn’t used on a mass scale. Still, it earned Publicis Impetu a silver Lion in Design at Cannes last month.

Reebok Gets Into the Bacon Business, Catering to CrossFitters' Sizzling Indulgence

It’s a big week for that neighbor of yours who can do a hundred pull-ups and toss tractor tires 20 yards. The CrossFit Games kicks off this week, and to celebrate, Reebok is releasing a new product: Reebok Bacon.

CrossFitters as a whole are notorious for also abiding by a Paleo diet, which allows and praises the consumption of smoky, savory strips of tasty bacon.  

The sneaker brand, once thought of as a go-to for mall walkers, has revamped its image to cater to a hipper, younger crowd, and there’s no doubt that bacon has taken on a cult-like status in recent years. 

Reebok Bacon was created by agency Venables Bell & Partners, which notes: “In sticking with Paleo recommendations, Reebok Bacon is uncured and contains no nitrates, preservatives, MSG or sweeteners. Packaging in dry ice will keep the bacon refrigerated until recipients throw it in the skillet.” 

Beyond sending packages directly to athletes and others in the community, Reebok will have a physical presence at the 2014 Reebok CrossFit Games with its very own Reebok Bacon Box—a food truck handing out bacon-based menu items to CrossFit Games attendees. While it’s tapping into what I feel is a little bit of an overdone trend (I’m over the bacon thing, the mustache thing, the bacon-as-a-mustache thing), Reebok Bacon will likely be a hit for CrossFit diehards.

App Overswipe limita as fotos que podem ver no seu celular

Nosso rolo de câmera dos smartphones virou quase um diário das nossas vidas. Poucas coisas passam sem serem fotografadas, registradas, e cada lugar novo parece merecer um selfie. Por isso, não é raro abrirmos o app de fotos nativo do smartphone, selecionarmos uma imagem e mostrarmos para os familiares ou amigos, seja no jantar em família ou numa mesa de bar.

Acontece que sempre tem quem tenha o dedinho aflito, e pre-ci-se ir deslizando para as outras fotos, um comportamento bastante incômodo, já que a única foto que queríamos mostrar estava ali, em tela cheia, para ser apreciada, e não para abrir caminho para toda a sua biblioteca de imagens.

swipe-just-look

Isso não significa necessariamente que as pessoas vão ver imagens que não deveriam (ainda que muitas corram esse risco, se o dono do aparelho fizer parte de alguns indiscretos grupos de WhatsApp, por exemplo, e não tiver o cuidado de pedir para que as imagens não sejam salvas no rolo de câmera), mas que trata-se de uma invasão de um espaço privativo.

E, cá entre nós, quem tem a santa paciência de fazer a curadoria das suas fotos, não é mesmo? Eu tenho mais de 500 fotografias armazenadas, e nenhuma vontade de organizá-las. Por isso que o Overswipe é tão legal.  É só instalar o app, abrir, dar acesso às suas fotos e pronto, ele se torna um bom controlador de que fotos as pessoas podem ver quando você passar o smartphone para elas. É possível selecionar quais fotos você quer que estejam disponíveis para visualização, e apenas elas serão mostradas caso a pessoa insista em deslizar os dedos pela tela.

overswipe-2overswipe-1

A versão gratuita do app, contudo, não provê nenhuma segurança para caso a pessoa saia do Overswipe e abra o aplicativo de fotos. A intenção do modelo grátis é apenas a de evitar o ‘swipe maroto’ dos mais curiosos, e não impedir que quem esteja com seu smartphone em mãos não possa sair daquele ‘ambiente controlado’.  No entanto, se você preferir evitar até esse detalhe, é possível adquirir a versão Pro do aplicativo e criar uma senha que impede a pessoa de sair do aplicativo. Uma opção que pode ser perfeita para quem precisa lidar com curiosos de plantão, ou até como uma forma de controle parental no smartphone.

overswipe-3 overswipe-4

Por aqui, já está devidamente instalado.

Hot Wheels Rolls a Life-Size Darth Vader Car Into Comic-Con

To promote its new line of Star Wars-themed character cars and die-cast ships, Hot Wheels showed up at San Diego Comic-Con this week with a life-size Darth Vader car.

The car, a modified Chevrolet Corvette C5, incorporates a lot of Vader’s helmet details into its design, along with a 526-horsepower LS3 engine and custom red line tires. It’s always the details that make things like this so fun.

The ad promoting it mixes driving footage with a custom Emperor Palpatine monologue, otherwise presenting itself almost like a typical car ad. But I think the atypical car on display here more than makes up for it.

 



Hilton fará smartphones se tornarem chaves de quartos em breve

Se os futuros consumidores estão nos dispositivos móveis, é para lá que a rede de hotéis Hilton vai. A empresa anunciou que está investindo 550 milhões de dólares em tecnologias que vão permitir a reserva, escolha de quartos, check-in e abertura das portas dos quartos com o uso de smartphones, praticamente acabando com a necessidade do recepcionista.

Mesmo com um investimento alto, isso não será feito da noite para o dia. A expectativa é que novos sistemas que permitam reservas e destrancamento de portas através do mobile esteja em funcionamento no final de 2016.

Essa inovação no sistema de hotelaria é mais uma necessidade do que um mimo para os clientes. Outras redes concorrentes do Hilton, como o Marriott, já estão se mexendo para melhorar sua presença mobile, e também começaram a fazer os primeiros testes do uso de smartphones como chaves para as portas dos quartos. “Percebemos que mais de 40% dos visitantes do nosso site o faziam através de um dispositivo móvel. Há quatro anos, as visitas mobile somavam apenas 1%”, explica George Corbin, SVP de digital do Marriott, em entrevista ao Wall Street Journal.

 Se conseguirem conquistar os clientes através de boas plataformas móveis, os hotéis terão a vantagem de poder “monitorá-los” e usar as métricas para oferecer serviços extra

Além disso, as redes de hotéis estão cada vez mais interessadas em fidelizar o cliente. Ao fazer a reserva, boa parte dos viajantes está preferindo checar em sites agregadores, como o Expedia ou o Hotels, e esses sites cobram uma taxa dos hotéis para intermediar a reserva.

Se conseguirem conquistar os clientes através de boas plataformas móveis e de uma integração entre a experiência digital e a estadia no hotel, as redes também terão a vantagem de poder “monitorá-los” e usar as métricas para oferecer serviços extra – quem sabe um drink para quem estiver fazendo um check-in, ou rememorar outros serviços que o hotel oferece no período daquela reserva.

Além do Hilton e do Marriott, a rede Starwood também está se preparando para apostar forte em mobile, com algumas de suas unidades já testando o uso de smartphones para abrir quartos, com previsão de oferecer esse serviço em cerca de 150 unidades Aloft e em todos os Hotels W até o final de 2015.

O único receio fica por conta da rápida mudança de comportamento dessa geração mais jovem – será que, até 2016, não serão outros os dispositivos e plataformas queridinhas dos consumidores?

Return to Rushmore: Best Buy's Back-to-School Ad Channels a Wes Anderson Classic

Wes Anderson’s Rushmore was a clear inspiration for Best Buy’s back-to-school spot, which, like the 1998 film, focuses on a student juggling an excess of extracurricular interests.

Created by Crispin Porter + Bogusky, the ad’s clearest connection to the film is The Creation’s rowdy 1967 track “Making Time,” which also plays over the movie’s opening montage. (You can revisit Anderson’s excellent Rushmore intro below).

Let’s hope the student in the spot has a less tumultuous school year than Rushmore anti-hero Max Fischer, who deals with everything from Olivia Williams’ unrequited love to a no-holds-barred feud with Bill Murray.

Anyway, it appears that Anderson’s oeuvre, which straddles the line between art house and mainstream, has seeped into the collective consciousness and inspired a new generation of commercial creativity. (Wes’ chest must be swelling with pride now that his quirky coming-of-age tale is providing a template to help lure customers to the retail floor.)

Asked if the spot was indeed a literal homage to “Rushmore,” a coy Best Buy rep told AdFreak: “Any time you’re compared to an Academy Award-nominated director, that’s a good thing. And to be honest, better to channel Wes Anderson than Wes Craven.”

Nova tecnologia pode corrigir problemas de visão diretamente na tela

Essa é uma notícia que vai fazer míopes, hipermétropes e astigmatas comemorarem. Uma nova tecnologia, que está sendo desenvolvida pelo MIT em parceria com a Microsoft, promete ajustar as telas do dia a dia para ‘desfazer’ a distorção de imagem causada por problemas visuais mais comuns.

Isso significa que, no caso de um míope, a tela seria capaz de alterar a imagem de tal forma que seria possível neutralizar a miopia, corrigindo a imagem visualizada. Seria como colocar seus óculos na tela a ser vista, e não no seu rosto.

Na minha experiência de mais de 15 anos de óculos (que felizmente ficaram para trás graças a outra tecnologia, o LASIK), isso pode ser interessante para as pessoas que possuem uma visão boa para o dia a dia, mas que precisam usar as lentes quando fazem um esforço visual maior, como ao usar o computador, ler um livro ou assistir TV – os famosos “óculos de leitura”.

Segundo os pesquisadores, que devem apresentar a descoberta em uma conferência internacional em Vancouver, no Canadá, essa tecnologia utiliza um algoritmo que distorce a imagem de acordo com a prescrição oftalmológica de cada usuário, e que funciona em conjunto com um filtro de luz que é colocado na frente da tela em questão. O algoritmo é capaz de alterar a luz em cada um dos pixels da tela, e quando os raios luminosos passam pelos pequeninos furos do filtro de luz, eles chegam à retina do observador de tal forma que é possível corrigir a distorção causada pelo olho. Já deu para perceber que é algo bem individual, né? Por enquanto, valeria apenas para objetos de uso bem pessoal, mas já ajuda bastante.

Além disso, um dos principais beneficiados pela nova técnica seriam os pacientes que não conseguem tratamento através de (ou apenas de) lentes corretivas, como é o caso de alguns defeitos físicos dos olhos.

Essa nova tecnologia provavelmente não acabaria com o uso das lentes corretivas, já que resolve a falta de ‘nitidez’ apenas das telas luminosas e não do restante de interações visuais com o mundo, mas pode ser uma importante revolução para quem precisa ou quer usar telas e tem problemas mais sérios do que os meus míseros 1,5 graus de hipermetropia de alguns anos atrás.
