Howie Mandel: 'I censor myself more than I ever have'
Posted in: Uncategorized
Howie Mandel has got himself one heck of a deal. The hit gameshow he hosts, “Deal or No Deal,” returned to CNBC for a new season last week after a nearly 10-year hiatus. Next month, “America’s Got Talent,” for which he serves as a judge, returns to NBC with “The Champions,” featuring the winners and near-winners of previous seasons battling it out in what Mandel calls an “Olympics of talent”: only the best. Meanwhile. he’s been honing his stand-up set on the road.
Ad Age caught up with Mandel, who has recently been outspoken about the havoc that political correctness has played on comedy. He shared his thoughts on hosting gameshows which a generation ago he says would have been career suicide and the perils of social media. This interview has been edited for brevity and flow.
I was a fan of yours as a kind growing up in the ’80s. Do you ever go back and watch your stuff from then? You have a totally different on-stage persona now.

The U.K. advertising watchdog bans offensive gender stereotypes in ads: Friday Wake-Up Call
Posted in: Uncategorized
Welcome to Ad Age’s Wake-Up Call, our daily roundup of advertising, marketing, media and digital news. Friendly reminder: The deadline for the Ad Age A-List Awards is on Tuesday, Dec. 18 at 5 p.m. EST. (Creativity Awards have a bit longer, until Jan. 8).
What people are talking about today
The U.K.’s advertising watchdog no longer wants to see ads that show a man struggling to put a diaper on a baby, or a woman unable to park a car. Starting in June, such ads will no longer be permitted. The Advertising Standards Authority, or ASA, says it wants to “prevent advertising from including gender stereotypes that are likely to cause harm or serious or widespread offence.”

Kind en Gezin: Breastfeeding Extras
Posted in: Uncategorized
Breastfeeding away from home, makes more and more mothers feel uncomfortable. They receive negative comments, are asked to ‘do it somewhere else’ and feel embarrassed. The Belgian organization ‘Kind en Gezin’ wants breastfeeding to be something normal again. To do this they invented ‘Breastfeeding Extras’: mothers that breastfeed their babies in the background of popular television programs, series, movies or video clips. By bringing breastfeeding back into popular culture, our Extras are making breastfeeding truly part of everyday life again.

Postobón: Placemat for Two
Posted in: Uncategorized
In recent years, Manzana Postobón has taken hold of the main restaurant chains in Colombia. This expansion made us aware of a problem: 3.4 million tons of food are wasted in Colombian restaurants every year. This problem is even more worrisome when you add the fact that more than 40.000 homeless people have nothing to eat and they look for their food in the trash. This situation led us to look for a solution: we designed a placemat that can be easily turned into a box.

Vodafone: Say It Tika
Posted in: Uncategorized
In 2017, over 500,000 New Zealanders heard Google Maps mispronounce Maori place names on a daily basis. With only 3.7% of the population able to speak Maori, our country couldn’t afford for our precious native language to erode any further.
With Vodafone connecting half the country to Google Maps – and with aural and oral assimilation the best way to learn a language – we saw this as a prime opportunity to contribute towards a revitalisation of the Maori language.
So, we created ‘Say It Tika’ (Say It Right); a campaign powered by Vodafone and Google, that rallied the nation to help Google Maps find and fix its pronunciation blunders at sayittika.co.nz.
This interactive site enabled locals to listen to every Maori place name in the country on a digital map. And drop a pin wherever Google Maps was falling short. In just 14 days, half the country engaged and 67,000+ pins were placed. Vodafone and Google then worked with linguists to fix these phonetic errors.
