Mandy sent us another video of the dancing yellow robot from those Carnegie Mellon promotions we saw. It’s strange in a meet-the-new-cult-on-the-block kind of way, but the story ends in fame, glory and success.
Some promotions/videos/ads are just so whacked there’s really no clear explanation for them.

In October 2006, we wrote about Pornotube, an x-rated version of YouTube. Now another hardcore XXX video sharing site has taken a page from the Youtube.com phenomenon.
Xtube.com and other sites of similar content are showing explicit amateur movies. XXX content has always led the way in turning a …
We love ourselves some SXSW. Expect us there, cameras at the ready, this year.
But this morning when we checked our email we caught a subject line that read, “The TACK: Ted Wants You at SXSW.”
Hey, kids. Before Guitar Hero. Before Playstation, xBox and Wii. Before, well, everything, there was this game called Pac Man.
Every year, the Super Bowl ad orgy serves up its series of duds. This week’s Adweek.com poll asks which client is likely to toss a turd in the punchbowl with a seriously unfunny, undeniably lame commercial during this year’s game. There are many appealing candidates. Perhaps Bob Parsons has lost his creative touch. Or maybe SalesGenie’s inevitable offer of free sales leads will not wow you. Then there’s Hyundai, subject of much speculation that its spot has problems. Why wait to see the spots when you can show off your foresight?

For HBO’s new series In Treatment, Deep Focus along with illustrator Bryan Christie have crafted a website, He’s Listening, that, like the series, lets you get inside the minds of the five patients features in the show.
For a fun Friday diversion, check out Hack Man, a Pac-Man knockoff from The One Show in which you play a creative executive who exacts revenge on four work-related monsters: the confused planner, the “yes sir†account director, the scared client and (somewhat oddly) the client’s wife. The game diverges from real life in one significant respect: the monsters remain vulnerable for quite a while after the creative eats a light-bulb-shaped power pellet—i.e., comes up with a good idea. The game was created by La Comunidad. Entries to The One Show 2008 are due by Jan. 31.

According to PayPal’s 2nd annual U.S. and UK based “Can’t Buy Me Love†survey, 60 percent of young couples in the U.S. argue over money at least once a month. The survey looks at the effects that money, sex, work and household responsibilities have on a romantic relationship and rank them ag…
LONDON – Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) has signed a marketing partnership with Sport Relief to raise money for the charity through its sponsorship of the RBS 6 Nations 2008.
If you want to know what sort of “footwear” football (soccer) players will be wearing in the year 2178, PUMA has the answer for you.
LONDON – The advertising industry has broadly welcomed the appointment of Andy Burnham as culture secretary in the wake of James Purnell’s shock move to the Department for Work and Pensions.
With all of the negative news about the economy out there (I know, I wrote about it here last week!), I'm noticing a very positive trend for small-to-mid-size agencies: the ability to win business from leading advertisers.
NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — While everyone keeps waiting for interactive TV to arrive, it may have already snuck into American's living rooms. A new survey conducted by Harris Interactive revealed that 66% of Americans use their remotes for basic interactivity.
We love it when outdoor boards spit at us, don’t you?
About 40% of the U.S. population owns a dog. But only about 2% of the U.S. population is Jewish, and fewer yet are glatt kosher. Still, marketers have found innovative and insightful ways to create products and services that are relevant to the lifestyles and tastes of these two highly valued consumer segments. So when it comes to U.S. Hispanic marketing, it has always been a mystery to me when clients say they can't make culturally relevant modifications to their product or service offerings.
