Adland - all the adnews not fit to print.
Give the gift of Spork.
This holiday season, Spork Design of Columbus, Ohio dished out a most tasty and well-endowed interpretation of the classic agency Christmas card.
View it here, and sorry ladies -- they're booked solid at the Blue Oyster Club for the next two months ;-)
Hot stuff! Bea Arthur would be proud.
Kaminsky.nu
For those of you already suffering from severe adcritic withdrawel I might recommend watching Swedish TV commercials at the site called http://www.kaminsky.nu.
Lots and lots of quite surreal, good and bad films to go through. Widen your broadband experience with foreign commercials. No subtitles - often the joke is international and in some cases the dialougue is in English. Do not click on the non-existent read more link - there is no more to read.
ps - they also have trailers.
Campaign Brief Online
Campaign Brief is now online... well actually a while back but, better late then never.

just a little more ad news from another part of the world
AdCritic Critically Wounded
Apparently, all the advertising and traffic in the world still won't keep a website alive these days.
According to dotcom death chronicler fuckedcompany.com , AdCritic.com has found that it's uncommercial and pulled the plug.
A lack of response from their URL confirms this.
Don Tennant doesn't feel so great.
Tennant died Saturday at his Los Angeles home. No cause of death was given. In 1950, Tenant was hired at Leo Burnett, in 1952 he conceived of Tony the Tiger.
Women washing their face in face wash commercials
Dear Ad Agencies, and whomever this may concern:
We see shampoo commercials featuring women washing their hair in the shower. Prell, Pert Plus, and Herbal Essences commercials feature women washing their hair in the shower.
Now, let's look at your typical face wash commercial. Women with her hair tied back, splashes some water on her face, at the sink. Then she lathers up with a face wash, and then splashes water on her face to rinse it.
So the question is: Why don't we see women washing their face in the shower in face wash ads?
Stopping advertising to save money, is like stopping your watch to save time.
Seems everywhere we look, massfirerings are happening. 10% of the danish advertising professionals have walked to their offices for the last time. W+K have slashed staff worldwide.
In Stockholm the freelancers gang is growing to critical mass. Large agencies in the u.s. calls staffers to the friday meeting ("we feel, it's better to fire on Fridays") as morality sinks to mimic the agencies golden cow account tagline, like a Rock.
No logo
Did you know that No Logo by Naomi Klein finally did make paperback? Did you also notice that amazon.com has a 42 pages excerpt?
