NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — On an Amazon message board, hundreds of threads have cropped up with show-and-tell requests and offers for the Amazon Kindle reader. Kindle enthusiasts are volunteering to demonstrate the device to prospective owners as part of Amazon's See a Kindle in Your City marketing program. Think of it as real-world social networking. Or taking online consumer product reviews — a concept Amazon championed early — to the in-person level.

BEIJING (AdAge.com) — China will avoid the curse that often afflicts hosts of the Olympic Games — an economic slowdown after the games leave town.

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Donny Deutsch told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" that "women want to be her and men want to mate with her," while Harvard's John Quelch said she's the red Chevy Camaro to John McCain's Ford 150. Read their comments and others and add your own to the conversation.

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — The U.S. Army is turning up in a lot of youthful places lately. For most civilian companies facing a conundrum similar to the Army's — a dwindling group of product loyalists and a public-perception problem — this might be considered smart, or even brilliant, marketing to attract new recruits to the brand. But in the case of the military, when you factor in easily influenced children, their parents and, oh yes, war, it becomes a lot more sensitive.

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — One year after his health-care documentary "Sicko" got leaked online weeks before its theatrical premiere, director Michael Moore is taking the distribution of his latest film in his own hands.

If you take the infamous Donny Deutsch and pit him against, the former editor and British personality, Piers Morgan, what do you get? On September 19th, we will all find out during the inaugural Alfred Dunhill Debate. All this is in support of the new Dunhill store to be located on Madison Avenue in Manhattan. The winner will be awarded $10,000 for his chosen charity.

And just will D.D. be debating on? Oh glad you asked, so glad. Topics include an industry favorite – The Power of Advertising vs. The Power of Editorial. Other subjects of import include: football vs. American football and American dress down vs. British sartorial elegance. Oh boy. This kind of intelligent discourse could just change your life.

Three-to-one Donny gets his ass whupped. Any takers? Come on… I double dog dare you. Keep in mind, Donny was the guy, when talking about Sarah Palin the other day on CNBC, who said he wanted her in bed laying next to him. He also has some sage advice for women in business: Put a skirt on, so you know, all the men will want to do you. Then, they won’t give two whits about what you’re saying. I’m not kidding. The video evidence is waiting for you above.

I wish to gawd I was taking him on. Ever wonder why Donny’s ratings are so abominably low? Probably not, because you couldn’t give a rat’s ass about his TV show, but let me clue you in – it’s because he’s got a bad, bad case of imbecility. Fuck. I’ll say that to his face. Where he at? That video got me. I’m spoiling for a fight.
