This wooden beast is surprisingly light, at under 15 lbs. It is also surprisingly easy to handle,…

Few months ago I was telling you about a new ecological campaign from Romania aiming to save the Danube reservation. That campaign was talking about the ecological problems from Danubian Delta.
Preserving and protecting nature is now the subject of a new campaign.
Three ad prints are asking people to share 2% of the income tax to give a chance to solve the most important problems of the Danube Delta Biosphere Reservation.
Their mission is: “In the battle against people for the sake of nature! And, finally, for the good of our people. ”
The contribution of 2% for the Danube Delta can help rare species to survive.
I good call for many people to react against indifference and natures extinction.
(TrendHunter.com) We told you Honda’s Asimo robot was scheduled to conduct the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in a performance of The Impossible Dream from Man of la Mancha. The successful performance took place yesterday, and we have the video to prove it.
Even though I feel a little uneasy about the idea of robots in…
The trailer for the new X-Files movie doesn’t really tell us anything, but in a way that’s rather fitting. The FBI is nothing if not secretive. One thing it does reveal, though, is the chance that Mulder and Scully might finally stop blueballing their fans long enough to kiss. Which, if they’ve met any of their fans lately, they’ll do. (Of course, they’ve fooled people before.) Seriously, they shouldn’t keep messing with these fans. They’re the kind who write letters. Scary, scary letters.

Couple this Absolut Vodka ad about all men having eight inches of manhood with their previous ad illustrating that in an Absolut world, men have the babies, and we would have one hell of a freaky world!

LONDON – Design agency Research Studios has followed up its redesigns of The Times and Guardian Unlimited by designing the new Polish national newspaper Polska.
(TrendHunter.com) Scarlett Johansson as a singer? The actress belts out a song in this video called “Falling Down†from her album “Anywhere I Lay my Head†and she can sort of sing. No, she’s not Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston but I think she knows that. She does not have a dominant voice and the video for …
(TrendHunter.com) Soojin Hyun designed this strange concept called the House on the Table. What looks to me like a tree house on a desk is a structure conceived as a sort of personal fortress intended to safeguard a person’s privacy. The House on the Table comes complete with a bookshelf, a vaulted ceiling, four wall…
“You want to buy Desperate Houswives on DVD….”
The Walt Disney Company, not one to be content with a dominant sports and children’s entertainment conglomerate, along with half of my television channel lineup is now building an advertising research lab to find out how they can better reach us?
“By coupling Disney Media Networks’ top-quality content with advanced new research practices, we have an important opportunity to further explore the connection that viewers of all ages have with our entertainment, news and sports programming,†added Anne Sweeney, the president of Disney-ABC Television Group and co-chair of Disney Media Networks. “We look forward to working with Duane to learn more about the viewing experience across audiences and, in doing so, to heighten its value for the public, our advertising and distribution partners, and the industry as a whole.â€
I guess even the number one brand in theme park entertainment and children’s programming has to find a way to keep building on success. But, I can’t help but think a lot of this is Orwellian doublespeak for “people hate commercials, how do we get around that?” or “focus groups.”
Building a “lab” makes it sound almost sinister, since they’re not doing anything medical–evil scientists have labs, people who want to conquer the world have labs, frozen animation moguls are kept in labs.
Never mind, it makes sense now.
Rejected marketing ideas: Hannah Montana tramp stamps, Ty Pennington’s drink and build construction sets and ESPN: the toilet paper.
