That subject line was a blatant lie, BUT there’s a chance that I MIGHT be on Mad Men. You see, they’re holding a contest called the “You Could Be On Mad Men Contest.” The name really says it all.

I’m entering this and I’m feeling pretty good about it seeing as how everyone else who has entered so far totally blows. You should probably enter too.

Feel free to discuss how this is the best F***ing show on TV in the comment section. I swear to God it makes me want to go back to 1950s and work in advertising SO BAD (but only if I had a penis and/or I could be Don Draper)!

Did I miss something? Since when did Converse abandon “classic, cool and American” for “cheap, flimsy and sophomoric?”

I guess the only way to sell an ass load of Chucks (in Target) is to abandon all equity with the style influencer market and go after tween boys so they can wear them for 2 months only to realize that the cool kids are wearing Pumas (not from Target).

This being the goal, “Out of Your League Girl” should work like a charm. I can’t think of a better way to destroy a brand’s equity than a series of poorly done online videos starring some chick that was possibly discovered shopping in a Hot Topic” in Phoenix, Arizona. Also, I can’t escape the notion that the set looks like the inside of an insane asylum.

It appears as though the folks over at a historically unexcessive network have grown a set and put out some rather astonishing content.

I should add a warning here, because this is super creepy and a little gross.

That really just happened. It was Green Porn from the Sundance Channel. You can watch more here…if you want.

Last week, I flipped on the tele after an evening of libations only to see this.

THAT was Animal Planet’s “Puppy Bowl.” It’s over an hour of puppies (mostly white fluffy ones) romping around on a miniature football field in HD. There’s even a halftime “Cat Show” of kittens playing with toys and confetti to what sounds like strip tease music. Yep, I watched it. I also DVR’ed it. Mostly because I didn’t think anyone would believe me should I try to describe it to them.

I can only suspect that this was some sort of half-baked brainchild born out of a desperate sales meeting called to concept a combo added-value package for a list of cross-category advertisers. This just goes to show you that occasionally good things can come out of meetings like that.

Best of luck, Animal Planet. I like your style.
