McImperialism

http://www.whoppervirgins.com/

After a few brilliant campaigns such as subservient chicken, whopperettes, the x-box games and whopper freakout it seems like the colleagues at CPB possibly made a little slipper.

The idea sounds great on paper but this whopper leaves a very bitter taste in your mouth (pun intended). Do we really need hamburgers introduced to Eskimos? Has American imperialism not been under attack enough the last few decades?

Interesting one to follow...

Prediction

The word of 2009 will be de-friending.

At mashable.com you can find some remarkable de-friending stories.

There are quite a few stats on how many friends you can really keep up with on the internet. Some say five...

spider meme

Last week I was explaining this hilarious spider meme to some colleagues during lunch. Yesterday I was watching the brilliant BBC program 'Have I got news for you' (which, by the way, has great extra footage on the website) and the same story came up. Speaking about a meme...

Use the force

Nice overview on all the iPhone apps. In a few months there are 10.000 iPhone apps in the iTunes store. This shows the power of open source and also the changing environment for a brand or product. The public wants to be part of the process, they want to get involved. And that's a good thing! Why? Because they outnumber you and are probably much smarter than you (at least a few...).

Space

It takes a woman to lose her handbag in space...;-). If it had been a Gucci she would have jumped right after it! That's my pointer to NASA: go for designer stuff.

Moby talking some interesting shit on copyrights.

He's an ugly bastard but he seems to understand how to deal with the sensible matter.

The basics look right: you can use his music and if it turns out to be a success you pay Moby. So if you make some money, Moby makes some money too. If you suck...

Searching saves the world...

If you have the option between "green" or "not green" and it doesn't make any difference in the service you get, wouldn't everybody opt for green? Or is this (online) green promise too "flat", without any real tangible result? let's wait and see...

I wonder why Google stopped endorsing this project?

Twitter or Facebook status

Just installed Twinkle on my IPhone. It's a rather cool twitter app which allow you to twitter anywhere, anytime.

I still have reservations about micro-blogging (who the hell cares if you had your first coffee this morning or if you're going to eat a sandwich...), but in certain cases it can be interesting.

What's really cool about Twinkle is that it has geo-location (via IP-address), so you can see who is twittering in your neighborhood.

Another question: what's the difference between a Tweet and a Facebook status update?
Are all those FB newbies actually Twittering without knowing? ;-)

Prince Albert?

Looks like Google has a piercing :-). A nice tribute to our king to celebrate 50 years of the Expo 58...

Hell, that must have hurt!

Tuymans "against" the wall

Take a look at the Tuymans video on the new website of Klara.

Should an (commercial) artist "mingle" with the streets? Luc Tuymans belongs it a posh art gallery where he prostitute himself to a bunch of uninteresting people with too much money (does it show I not a fan ;-). He's no guy of the streets. That's maybe why so little people looked at it. They should do the same test with a real graffiti. I wonder what the result would be...

Keep the streets for the street artists! People like this. Young, fresh, unemployed,... ;-)

I do like the new website of Klara. It looks like they understood that radio is dead as a single media. it's all about convergence. The right balance between radio, internet, television,... In search of the perfect mash-up.

If the crabalizer was a cyborg...

Good initiative and maybe the future of broadcasting, but for the moment it has a strong "close-but-no-cigar-feeling".

Obama Girl

Seems that politicians seem to adapt very good to the new media. Both Hilary and Obama are using platforms like YouTube and Facebook to spread their message. In my opinion, Obama is the most clever one...

On YouTube, it started about 6 months ago when a so-called fan of Obama posted a spoof of the 1984 ad of Apple. He uses this iconic ad to portrait Hilary as an evil manipulator and controller of the universe. I never believed this was done by a "fan". It has got the word "spin doctor" written all over it.

Same story for Obama Girl. She appeared on YouTube a few months ago and is a big hit now with almost 5 million views up till now. She no ordinary fan! She is so perfect...is she black, white, Hispanic? You just can't tell, perfect for every voter to identify with. Her first video is a textbook example how you can bring a boring message over to a large, non-interested public. Throw in some boobs and a nice ass and they'll watch it (over 4,5 million times!). The second is even better! Obama Girl gets help from her even more beautiful girlfriend and they go to the gym and get sweat all over their body. This clip is a real production.

And what does Hilary do? She cries...her spin doctors believed that she needs to show emotion so the public perceives her as more emotional and soft. It's a pity she can't act though...it doesn't look genuine to me! Do people really buy this crap (b)?

Interesting to see how this evolves...will the Americans go for tits and asses or for (fake) emotion?

To be continued...
