I admit 3-D television is a long way from being a viable product category. There is no programming available and the average consumer doesn’t want to have to wear a pair of goofy glasses that are more likely to get lost or broken than they are to be actually used for watching TV. So I’m [...]

I swear, sometimes I see stuff and it really just makes me feel like I’m going insane.  I walk a pretty fine line of sanity most days anyway, but there are times when people say things that is just completely inaccurate or changed up to fit their needs or whatever and I start to question [...]

Let’s be honest here, who didn’t see this one coming?  According to TechDirt this morning, LifeLock has to pay $12 million for bogus advertising, little actual protection and awful security.  If you don’t recall these ads, here’s one of the long form versions that would run on late night TV: I remember when these spots [...]

Man, do I frickin’ love the real world.  You really can’t beat it when it comes to serving up the crazy.  Sure, you can have your little movies about blue people and classic book characters re-imagined, but I’ll take me a good serving of good old fashioned, real world crazy any day. For instance, according [...]

I didn’t actually go to the Oscars, so if you’re looking for the dish on who was wearing what, you’re in the wrong place.  You’re probably thinking I’m going to review the ads that came on during the Oscars, but you would be wrong there as well, at least for now.  Outside of the fact [...]

Look, I dig a great dog as much as the next guy and I know this ad with all the cute dogs in it is cute, but seriously, do I need to bring up what commercials are really for in the first place again? Beautifully shot, great music, fantastic editing and I swear that bulldog [...]

Oh, lucky, lucky day… I love it when crappy commercials fall in my lap. Oddly enough, this find was the result of looking at what is actually a pretty great response commercial from Gillette to Dove’s new “I’m a Man!” commercial from the Super Bowl. Sure, it took them about a month, but I have [...]

The original music for this spot for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno was The Beatles’ “Get Back (To Where You Once Belonged)”. However, all it takes it a little change in music and suddenly, the spot is actually funny… Watch it while you can… we can know that network doesn’t have a sense of [...]

By the time you folks read this, I will be fresh off my panel on “Digital Asset Optimization” at SES London.  I wrote this before walking over to the Design Center this morning, but let’s just say I was amazing and we, but mostly you, all learned a valuable lesson from my speech.  Remember that [...]
