(TrendHunter.com) Although I am extremely sick of the obessesive airport security measures, I actually think this is a swell idea. Maybe the name ‘Tunnel of Truth’ makes it sound cool and geeky. The Transportation Security Administration is exploring a way to take advantage of people waiting in long airport lines by …

Variety, Publishers Weekly and dozens of other trade publications are going up for sale as the publishing company Reed Elsevier looks to get out of the uncertain advertising market.
The company’s business information unit includes some relatively well-known titles (Broadcasting & Cable, Multichannel News, New Scientist) along with sector-specific publications (Custom Builder, Microprocessor Report, Home Textiles Today). Of the 400 publications, the most prominent is Variety, the Hollywood trade magazine.
Last year, the unit had revenue of $1.76 billion with an adjusted operating profit of $233 million. Most of the revenue came from advertising. The trade show business, Reed Exhibitions, will not be sold.
Analysts estimated that Reed Business Information would fetch at least $2 billion.

(TrendHunter.com) Okay, I may be the only one here with a dirty mind but I have to admit I did stifle a nicker at diva designer Jean Nouvel’s new rocket-shaped form for YSL L’Homme. It helps if you know the French architect’s work: maybe you’ve seen his monumental and unapologetically phallic ‘Torre Agbar’ tower in …

Naughty marketing is one of the most tried and true ways of getting attention, but it’s still rare to see full on nudity in a public place. Selfridges in London had a model pose nude in their window during rush hour, wearing nothing but a shawl as she posed for a painting by Jacques le Trompet,.

While the Toyota Corolla Superbowl ad received a fair bit of praise, I wasn’t entirely satisfied. Fortunately, I stumbled upon the new microsite for the car, dubbed “Corolla the X,” complete with an impressively elaborate crest. The site is a fairly bold yet unobtrusive mix of animation, audio, video, and games, managing to do a fairly impressive job at showcasing the features of the Corolla with some humor and without the usual buy-this-car spiel. The site even makes me appreciate the superbowl spot slightly more. My only big question (and maybe slight hesitation) is whether or not “Corolla the X” can really work. The Toyota Corolla has never been in the upper echelon of the automotive world. Can its image reflect it effectively? Will it be able to persuade buyers? Then again, it IS the Corolla… not exactly an unknown in the field.
