New Pepsi… Heard it here first

A messenger arrives at my apartment this morning with 5 6 empty cans of Pepsi, each one representing a different Pepsi logo, starting in 1890.
OK.
Twenty minutes later, he’s back, with a second delivery, 5 6 more empty cans of Pepsi, logos continuing up to present day.
OK.
Finally, he shows back up again. (By this time, Karma […]



Wow… “How not to act on J-Date,” part 2?

Y’all remember the story about Darren S, right?
Think he has a brother? Hat tip to Hot Chicks with Douchebags
Wow. Just… Wow.

Live Streaming of the Capital Communicators Luncheon

Currently in Washington, DC, about to co-speak to the Capital Communicators Group. I had a bunch of meetings I’d been putting off in DC, so was able to schedule this talk and take the day down here.
Anyhow, am going to try and live-stream through Yahoo’s new live-streaming service. So if you’ve nothing better to do […]



Making the Most of “Short-Burst” Downtime

I put “downtime” into two different categories. Short-burst downtime, and long-burst downtime.
Long-burst downtime, we all know, are the hours between the flight attendant saying  “Sir, the doors closed 15 minutes ago, Blackberry off, NOW,”  and that first “ka-thump” of the wheels hitting pavement, hundreds or even thousands of miles away.
Then there’s short-burst downtime.

That’s what YouTube is for….

Life is better thanks to Youtube.
You know, except for these people.
This is why at MY bar-mitzvah, I had a talking robot that took up most of the face time on the video.
Good lord. Train wreck time. Have fun.



Mercs 2 Continues “make publicist look like idiot” campaign

Brilliant viral campaign running on most of the major "boys" sites (break.com and the like) for Mercs 2 - Just brilliant. Of course, they make the PR guy look like an idiot, but it’s still very, very funny.
Start here and watch "Introduction," then work your way up.
This one is even better - He reminds me […]



PETA sets Olsen Twins in Crosshairs…

Takeaways: PETA has a "youth marketing division." Huh.
"Trollson Twins", "Hairy Kate and Trashley", and "Full House of Horrors". Hee.
One thing I’m not sure I like - "Visitors are encouraged to contact the twins’ publicist about their cruel decision to flaunt fur in public."
Why drag the publicist into this? I seriously doubt s/he has any control […]



2007: The year of the video greeting?

Looks like everyone seems to be sending out Video Greetings this year - they would appear to be replacing the "this is what we did this year" letter.
Below is the one I just got from the Humane Society of the United States. It’s sweet.
