Princess Leia Walks Around NYC, Gets Harassed by Everyone From Yoda to Darth Vader

The universe was shaken when we watched hidden-camera footage of a woman walking around NYC and getting harassed. Then we saw what happens when a white man suffers the same fate.

Now, in the latest parody of the Hollaback! catcalling video, we take a galactic leap to find out what it would be like for the most famous princess in the entire universe, Princess Leia. I mean, I know firsthand what it’s like, but at least this time it was taped. 

Watch below as Leia encounters scoundrels in this wretched hive of scum and villainy, aka New York City. Help her Obi-Wan, you’re her only hope. Needless to say, there’s a giant disturbance in the Force.



Economic Scene: Net Neutrality Debate: Internet Access and Costs Are Top Issues

After President Obama urged the F.C.C. to set tougher net neutrality rules, questions loom about decreased competition and the cost of monitoring.



State of the Art: In Net Neutrality Push, Internet Giants on the Sidelines

Companies like Facebook and Google have stayed away from mobilizing their users to support an issue that primarily affects smaller Internet upstarts.



R/GA Gets Cam Newton to Scream for Beats

R/GA enlisted Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton in its latest ad for fashion headphones brand Beats, entitled “Straight to the Gym.”

Newton, of course, is no stranger to advertising, having recently appeared in spots for Gatorade and Under Armour (which he can be seen wearing here).

The basic approach of the “Straight to the Gym” is nothing new. “Give up, that’s what they want you to do. Stop, that’s what they want you to do,” says Newton in a voiceover that plays as he puts on a pair of wireless Beats and begins an intense workout. The 60-second spot leans heavily on its soundtrack: Kendrick Lamar‘s guest verse on Jay Rock‘s “Pay For It.” In the ad’s most interesting moment, Newton lets out an agonized scream mid-pullup, driving home the message of the song, and the spot. The ad very much follows in the footsteps of R/GA’s recent ads for the brand showing athletes working out, such as the recent spot celebrating LeBron James’ homecoming, and this ad starring Serena Williams. Maybe it’s time to change up the formula?

adam&eveDDB Celebrates Holiday Materialism for Mulberry

In adam&eveDDB’s Christmas spot for Mulberry, a grandmother “wins Christmas’ with a Mulberry bag, trumping some pretty stiff competition in the process.

The ad follows a young woman as she opens a series of presents, beginning with a pointillist portrait of her painted by her sister. Each gift gets more over the top and ridiculous, verging into the absurd, until the girl’s reaction to the Mulberry bag from her grandmother reveals it to be the best gift of all. It’s an interesting approach, forgoing the typical sentimentality of holiday advertising for a tongue-in-cheek celebration of materialism. adam&eveDDB pulls it off well, slowly ramping up the absurdity and not taking itself too seriously while still effectively promoting the brand. That the agency was able to produce both the heartwarming “Monty The Penguin” ad for John Lewis and this, pretty much its polar opposite, shows impressive range. (more…)

Nestle USA Trims Digital Agency Roster


After a lengthy review process that began this spring, Nestle USA whittled down its more than 15 digital roster shops to eight, including Dentsu’s 360i, Engine’s Deep Focus, Interpublic’s Huge and WPP’s Grey, as well as independent shops ResourceAmmirati, Threshold Interactive, SmithBrothers and Swift.

The review, which covered Nestle USA brands, was initiated earlier this year to “streamline the agency roster and increase the impact of the company’s digital efforts,” the company said in a statement. It did not include Purina, Gerber and Nestle Waters, which are housed in a separate Nestle division.

“Our decision to award the business to these agencies was based on a strong combination of factors including strategic planning, digital acumen and team strength,” said Chris Padgett, VP-digital marketing at Nestle USA, in a statement. “We have initiated a phased transition of our digital business, and look forward to working with these agencies on our business. We thank our previous agencies for their years of excellent work on behalf of Nestl.”

CBS, Disney Fear Comcast Merger Could Reveal What They're Paid for Programming


CBS Corp. and Walt Disney Co. are among companies seeking a court order to stop the Federal Communications Commission from disclosing programming contracts as part of its review of Comcast’s proposed purchase of Time Warner Cable.

Some programmers oppose the deal partly because they fear it will give the combined Comcast-Time Warner Cable too much clout in negotiations over how much to pay for programming from CBS and others. Such retransmission talks are a major flash point in the struggle over who pays for content and rising pay-TV bills. But even the deal’s approval process, it seems, now threaten to undermine the programmers’ position in such retransmission talks.

The companies will suffer “substantial harm” if distribution agreements are disclosed, lawyers for media companies wrote yesterday in a request for an order in the U.S. appeals court in Washington blocking release of the information.

RPA Stokes Nostalgia for ‘Happy Honda Days’

RPA looks to the gifts that you loved receiving as a kid in its “Happy Honda Days” campaign, celebrating such cultural touchstone of yesteryear as He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Stretch Armstrong, Strawberry Shortcake and Gumby.

The ads all follow in a similar formula, with each character asking viewers if they remember how excited they were to receive them as a gift, before saying that they can get that same feeling by purchasing a Honda CRV, Civic or Accord. In the 30-second “Skeletor” spot above, for example, the He-Man villain reminds viewers of the exultation they felt when they got him as a holiday gift, before touting the CRV’s rear-view mirror, used to detect danger (in this case, He-Man). Children of the eighties and/or fans of these characters should appreciate the dose of nostalgia present in these ads as they tout the vehicles’ features, and RPA went ahead and applied the formula to half a dozen different characters so viewers don’t grow tired of the same ad.

“Every season consumers are inundated with holiday ads. Our goal is to break through the clutter by tapping into people’s memories of their favorite childhood toys and helping them relive that feeling of getting something they loved for the holidays by getting a great deal on a new Honda at the Happy Honda Days Sales Event,” explained Susie Rossick, senior manager at American Honda Motor Co., Inc.

The broadcast spot will be supported by print ads in People, Sports Illustrated, and local newspapers in top markets, as well ad network radio ads.

W+K, Sony Focus on the Products

Wieden+Kennedy’s latest spot for Sony, titled “Script to Screen,” has already earned more than a million YouTube views since its debut this weekend. But it’s new to us, and it’s the opening of the Fall edition of the brand’s ongoing “Be Moved” campaign, which started during the Golden Globes in January and continued in February with a profile of the New Jersey man behind “the world’s largest model railroad.

“Script to Screen” is a bit less…quirky than that offering:

In case you missed it, the point is that Sony doesn’t just make movies, music and games — they also make the tools.

Since this work is all about the products, we have two product-specific spots after the jump.

Stressed Out? This Kitten Therapy Office From Tidy Cats Will Cure You With Cuteness

Kittens are notorious advertising stars, and as it turns out, they’re miniature therapists too.

At least, that’s one takeaway from this stunt in Los Angeles, where Purina Tidy Cats invited stressed-out people into a glass room—fully visible to people on the street—and had them listen to guided mediation.

And then … the kittens are unleashed. And adorable overload ensues.

The video, from Rainn Wilson’s media company Soul Pancake, might seem better suited to cat adoption than cat litter. But it’s fun to watch, and will surely get a bajillion views.
