Axe oferece novo personagem para “PAIN” no PlayStation 3

PAIN Axe Playstation PSN

Em parceira com a Sony, a Axe apresenta sua nova ação de in-game advertising. Um personagem da marca fará parte do jogo “PAIN”, de PlayStation 3, também conhecido como o “Jackass” dos videogames.

Smooth Jarvis vai contar com movimentos inspirados pelo comercial “Double Pits to Chesty” de Axe, em que Adam Jones salta de moto enquanto passa desodorante. Você se arremessa contra tudo e contra todos, enquanto realiza a “perigosa” manobra.

O download do novo personagem é gratuito, e inclui uma promoção que vai premiar os jogadores que fizerem os melhores movimentos com Smooth Jarvis. Os prêmios são um boneco e uma Sony HDTV 42 polegadas.

Sim, “PAIN” é um pouco diferente, mas uma das melhores coisas da PSN. É mais um brinquedo do que um jogo, e para entende-lo melhor você pode assistir o trailer abaixo:

Megan Fox contra o bullying em viral para “Jennifer’s Body”

Diablo Cody, a roteirista de “Juno”, escreveu “Jennifer’s Body”, uma mistura de comédia com horror que estreia em setembro nos EUA, e em 23 de outubro aqui no Brasil.

Protagonizado por Megan Fox, o filme mostra uma cheerleader que é zoada no colégio. Acontece que ao invés de ir chorando pra casa, ela mata e devora seus desafetos.

Em um vídeo-viral para promover o longa, Megan Fox aparece como em um típico comercial PSA (Public Service Announcement) falando sobre bullying. Se você é pentelhado pelos amigos na escola, ela dá a dica: devore-os.

Ah, e aqui no Brasil o filme ganhou o título de “Garota Infernal”. Se o filme já tinha cara de ser uma grande bobagem, a tradução não ajudou em nada.

How CMOs Can Help End the Recession


There are as many opinions about what got us into economic trouble as there are pundits in the world. Most blame the economic debacle on Wall Street, poor regulatory oversight or aggressive no-money-down mortgage lenders. However, what remains overlooked in the financial blame game is not a particular of "who," but "what." What people forget is their fundamental role in the larger scheme of economic, social and personal value creation.
