In 1977, Wells Rich Greene and Milton Glaser created the iconic I Love New York campaign, which helped increase tourism in NYC, but not so much in New York State. To correct the sins of the past, a new campaign is being unveiled today. Saatchi & Saatchi was hired to give the campaign a $17 million makeover and hopefully more tourists will leave the already crowded city and go upstate.

I have to put on my hater hat for a moment concerning the latest ads for Belvedere vodka
Apparently 20 million bucks won’t buy as much as it used to, or you get what you pay for:
I saw this ad over the weekend:
Further research led me to the news that Belvedere had hired Terry Richardson to do some high concept high fashion ads or something. I’m no fan of “fashion photographers” because much like “fashion designers” or “fashion models” their pretentiousness far outweighs their total value to any sort of culture, but I realize they’re good at being artsy and if you need a living mannequin, that’s the world you need to embrace.
But THANK GOD they got famed self-indulgent “filmmaker” Vincent Gallo (he of the Brown Bunny, a blowjob and a round of boos at Cannes) to look like a homeless guy to shill for their vodka.
Is that really luxury? Really?
Oh, but it gets classier:
You see, because she’s checking her lipstick at crotch level in a belt buckle. The crotch level of Vincent Gallo no less. Did we not learn anything from Chloe Sevigny? Were Quentin Tarantino and Michael Bay not in the mood to tell you they’d put you in their next movie?
Oh we’re sooooo naughty…
Like any douchebag in a room with attractive ladies, Gallo also breaks out a guitar at parties trying to convince them that he’s sensitive and a non-hacky version of John Mayer. Does this still work? I thought most women stopped being impressed after their first year of college.
Careful, if you get him wet he either melts or multiplies.

It’s always a drag when you throw a party and the half-human/
half-lime guy shows up, overcompensating for his appearance by throwing coasters around. You’d almost rather have Little Bit o’ Luck drop by than Little Bit o’ Lime. It’s only a matter of time before Limey picks up a kid and throws him into a bookshelf. See more (lots and lots more) about the Lime in this behind-the-scenes video. By DDB Chicago. Via Advertolog.

LONDON – James Whale, who was sacked by TalkSport on Monday after urging viewers to vote for Tory Boris Johnson, is to join shopping channel Bid TV.
LONDON – People who have seen ads on TV and online are significantly more likely to buy a product than those who have seen ads on just one of those media, according to research from Thinkbox and the Internet Advertising Bureau.
You have to feel bad for the kid in this Nail Communications spot for Rhode Island’s CollegeBoundfund. Not the girl who spells “peregrination†correctly, but the boy in his jimmies twirling around with the box on his head, much to the wordless dismay of his father, who’s already worried about paying for college. Can Dad spell “peregrinationâ€? Has Dad done anything all day except watch TV and cast disapproving looks at his son? The kid’s way too young to have to spell anything. Let the boy grow and wonder! Sorry, I’m still smarting because I didn’t get any college scholarships myself. Maybe I shouldn’t have shown up for class with a box on my head.
