What’s the point?

The New York Mets are christening a new stadium this season - Citi Field - and everyone’s all excited about it. Except, of course, for the art director who designed the sleeve patch to commemorate the event. Here’s how I think it went down. Sunday night. The football games have been watched. The beers have […]

Yet another study on the power of marketing - this time from the esteemed researchers at Stanford University.

Then Hooters gave me a ticket.
On the ever-shrinking list of places you probably haven’t seen advertising goes this:Right there where it usually reads “Serve and Protect” it now reads “In partnership with Donelan’s Groceries.
“I’ll bet the National Pork Board is off the list of approved advertisers.
Here’s the scoop.

Exhibit A
And still no cure for cancer. Other things that have jumped the shark: Sudoku, this rockin’ band from Buffalo and, of course, the phrase”jump the shark.”

No posts for three weeks? Sorry, there’s this

First some nerdy word talk, then we’ll get on to the fun stuff.
Remember the goofball that caused a ruckus at a John Kerry appearance a couple months back and got zapped with a stun gun for his trouble? (If not, you can click here.) Sure, he wasted two minutes of my life and those of […]

Well, read it for yourself.

Today I’m linking to the Sheboygan Police Department in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Why on earth am I doing that?

Soooo, what’s likeable here, the ad or the product?(Survey response #9: “In my day we had this huge entertainment center. It was called the backyard. It’s about time these […]

Hey St. Louis, is it true two other cities have the exact same tagline as the one you just unveiled? Don’t sweat it. But next time there’s this really cool site on the internet called Google. You type any word or phrase that you’re looking for into the little box at the top and, voila! […]

If you’re over 30, Halloween means it’s time to head out the Target or Wal-Mart and stock up on enough Boo Berry and Franken Berry cereal to carry you through for 12 months. Count Chocula is still hanging tough year round, but his spooky, crunchy friends have been relegated to October only by General Mills. […]
