The folks behind Axe’s libido frenzy of an ad campaign are back with a surprisingly picturesque ode to the man-deprived “Axe Cottage.†One could even argue that it’s a classy spot. Why? Because I would have expected Axe to show two women rubbing sunscreen all over each other, possibly while watching prison porn. Let’s hear it for baby steps. Via Adrants.

(TrendHunter.com) The S-series concept mobile phone designed by Simon Enever is really attractive and ever so sleek.
Tuvie notes, “S-series mobile concept is not based on today’s range of phones which leaves a lot to be desired in terms of design, the aim of the game being to cram as many functions as possible in…
So yea, billboard cut outs.
(TrendHunter.com) Heart-Beans is not your typical coffee grinder, as it is set to operate according to the user’s heart-beats. The taste of the coffee changes each time according to your heartbeats.
Heart-Beans is a critical design piece, aimed to criticize our consumerism and consumption culture. In a world obse…
Some people’s love of LEGO doesn’t fade with age, in fact, for some people, the desire to build structures out of the plastic toys becomes even stronger. To demonstrate the possibilities of the architectural models you can build, LEGO created a 100 foot building made of 500,000 plastic bricks, makin…
If you run a blog or comment regularly on a blog and haven’t installed Disqus then do it now. Well if you comment on a blog regularly, then let the blog owner know they need to get with the times.
Basically it’s a centralised system for blog comments. If all blogs ran this system then you could have a centralised database of all your blog comments (across multiple blogs) and be able to track the replies. Who’s ever commented on a blog post then forgotten about it. While the replies to your comment stack up.
I also love the Gravatar support which centralises the visual representative of you.
Installation of Disqus took 1 minute for me on Moveable Type. You can then customize the look and feel of the comments through the Disqus admin page.
The only annoying part is Disqus cannot go through previous comments and add them automatically. So Disqus will only be used for new posts onwards. Which is a shame.
David Roberts writing for Fast Company questions American’s zeal for overworking and measures the impact of this hyperactivity on the environment.
The United States leads the world in two categories: work and waste. American employees put in more hours and take fewer vacations than just about anyone else in the industrialized world, and our individual ecological “footprints” are much larger.
Coincidence? I think not. The way we work drives our habits of consumption and waste. The more we work, the more we drive, the more energy we burn, the more styrofoam to-go containers we use. At the end of the day, we’re so tired, we devour more takeout and TV, often falling asleep in front of the latter. If we want to accelerate the recent trend of reducing waste, it may be time to consider the radical step of, well, relaxing more, consuming less, and living fuller lives. May the Wall Street Journal editorial board strike me down.
I’d love to hear your responses to this. The agency business isn’t exactly known for lightweight workloads. In fact, I’d venture that some shops are proud of their sweatshop reputations (sick though it is, such reputations prevent laggards from even applying).
(TrendHunter.com) I haven’t decided if this is the greatest Firefox add on ever, or the creepiest, but I can guarantee it will become a very popular download for a lot Facebook addicts.
It’s a free tool bar add-on that allows you to download entire Facebook albums. You can use it to save any album, be it your own o…
After all these years of creating unattainable fantasy, Axe wants to deliver the real thing.
LONDON – HSBC, the principal partner of the British & Irish Lions tour to South Africa in 2009, has named four HSBC ambassadors for the tour.
Continuing its illogical idiocy, the Truth campaign has dredged up yet another decades old quote from a “tobacco company executive” who is now likely dead if not certainly retired.
LONDON – Orange has appointed Billington Cartmell to its agency roster with a brief to handle sales promotion for its pay-as-you-go (PAYG) mobile offer.
Maybe it's because I've been attending Fiesta Broadway, L.A.'s largest Latino-focused street festival, for 19 of its 19 years, but this year as I walked the length of Fiesta Broadway I reached my personal limit. "Enough," I cried out (to myself). "No mas!" my bilingual Panamanian-influenced brain chimed in, plagiarizing the famous words of Panamanian boxer Roberto Duran. How many "Spin the Wheels" does the world need?
(TrendHunter.com) If you’ve ever wanted to look like an elf, then elfenkleid can make that fantasy come true.
In Germanic mythology, elves were depicted as a race of minor nature and fertility gods, often portrayed as youthful-looking men and women of great beauty. They are said to live in forests, underground, cav…

LONDON – European auction website QXL is closing its UK division at the end of this month after 10 years in service.
(TrendHunter.com) The Beer Can Coffin is the ultimate way to honor a thorough-bred red neck. If if you know someone proud of their hickish ways, you know they wouldn’t get fulfillment from a traditional burial in the afterlife anyway.
This coffin was designed for Bill Bramanti of Illinois who happens to be a major …
