Sony is petty gung ho on making its films available on mobile, I guess. Not sure I get this. True, I've downloaded a bunch from...

Sarah Silverman does Jimmy Kimmel. In a manner of speaking.

Like a lot of us in this business, I get a ton of holiday e-mails, PDFs and videos. Most are pretty sucky. Usually the same,...
It's no secret, I'm no fan of PETA's advertising. A greater exercise in self-absorption, never have I experienced. Normally, it's their cheap shot shock crap...
Just found this spot from Australian agency, The Furnace. Anyone want to venture an opinion?
What is it with PETA. Never have I seen a client as dead set on helping its cause by undermining it. Guys, we all get...

By now, you must have seen the new IPod Touch commercial, a consumer-generated concept that's the brainchild of 18-year-old British student, Nick Haley. Of course,...
I'm really impressed with this spot from AIDES. It works for me on so many levels. Very cool stuff.
