I was thinking the other day about all the technological advances that happened with dolls when I was a kid: the kind with the hair you could cut that grows back, or the one whose hair changed colour when you ran a cold hairbrush through it, or — my personal favourite — the one that pissed into a changeable cloth diaper! after suckling real fluid from a bottle.
The film is called “Art & Copy”, I copied the synopsis below. The film explores the advertising and design industry and looks at campaigns that have transformed the world of advertising over the years. It opens in select cities on August 21.
Synopsis
ART & COPY is a powerful new film about advertising and inspiration. Directed by Doug Pray (SURFWISE, SCRATCH, HYPE!), it reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential advertising creatives of our time — people who’ve profoundly impacted our culture, yet are virtually unknown outside their industry. Exploding forth from advertising’s “creative revolution” of the 1960s, these artists and writers all brought a surprisingly rebellious spirit to their work in a business more often associated with mediocrity or manipulation: George Lois, Mary Wells, Dan Wieden, Lee Clow, Hal Riney and others featured in ART & COPY were responsible for “Just Do It,” “I Love NY,” “Where’s the Beef?,” “Got Milk,” “Think Different,” and brilliant campaigns for everything from cars to presidents. They managed to grab the attention of millions and truly move them. Visually interwoven with their stories, TV satellites are launched, billboards are erected, and the social and cultural impact of their ads are brought to light in this dynamic exploration of art, commerce, and human emotion.

MINNEAPOLIS (AdAge.com) — "Citius, Altius, Fortius" — "Swifter, Higher, Stronger" in English — goes the international Olympics motto. But the U.S. Olympic Committee wasn't so swift recently, at least when it announced in July that it planned to pair up with Comcast to create an Olympics channel.
NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Don Hewitt, the CBS executive who established one of TV's most durable genres — the newsmagazine — and one of its most hallowed programs, "60 Minutes," died Aug. 19 at the age of 86 from pancreatic cancer. In 1980, "60 Minutes" was the No. 1 program, a feat it would achieve five times, a record CBS said was only matched by "All in the Family" and "The Cosby Show."
Modern targeting tools allow for deep intrusions into people's private lives, but too stringent legislation will actually make for more unwanted marketing, argues Gunnar Brune.
