Around the Creative World (09/09/09)
September 9th, 2009
Uh oh. It’s 09/09/09. You know what that means…
That movie 9 opens up in theaters.
Here are the top “creative” stories from around the web today, September 9th, 2009. (It’s not as scary when you say it that way.)
- DDB Brasil made a huge mistake (in my opinion) with this 9/11-themed ad for the World Wildlife Federation (you know, the group that stole their acronym from wrestling?): Tsunami.
- Allen Iverson just announced that he will sign with the Memphis Grizzlies via Twitter. Is this the first free agency sports signing announced first through Twitter? I can’t think of another…unless there’s an obscure arena football league player out there with 300 followers…
- Christina Warren, Mashable: New iPod Designs Leaked? [PICS]
- The Onion via Mashable: Teens Don’t Tweet Because They’re Too Busy Sexting [Satire]
- The Germans are starting another war…on traditional media. (Phew. That would have been bad…for the world, and for half of my ethnic background.)
- Did I mention that Eleventh Hour is on Twitter?
- Did I mention that I’m on Twitter?
- Vitaminwater is letting the consumer come up with the next flavor. (The kids call this “crowdsourcing.”)
- Some ‘Bruno’ ads are too racy for the subway in Hong Kong. (I forgot about this movie already. It’s still being released internationally?)
- Remember that long armpit-haired chick riding a bike with a dork behind her in that Boost Mobile commercial? Yeah, I hated that commercial too. Well, MSNBC agrees with me.
- In closing, I leave you with an Australian cheapskate, who kind of resembles Perez Hilton, trying to cut costs on a relative’s funeral and on the cost of a date.
