kidsleepy said:Cool wigs, Julie! Sorry we had to remove the link. You should consider buying a banner instead; it'll get a LOT more eyeballs on your business. Cheers, KSon the post: Katy Perry and the Popcats - (2013) 3:00 (USA)

kidsleepy said:Sure, I get that. This was being oversimplified a bit for brevity, and also because we're a site dedicated to advertising and not race. From that standpoint-- Cheerios' job is to sell us Cheerios. It is not their job to take on racism, and nor should it be. It's easier from a brand perspective to get the conversation started. And you know what? Shutting down the conversation when it turns from a conversation into outright hatred seems like a perfectly valid move to me.on the post: Cheerios "Just Checking," (2013) :30 (USA)

Oh. I guess we don't really need an app for that.on the post: Feedbackr - an iPhone app for Creative Directors to leave feedback on the go with their voice

kidsleepy said:This wasn't an Abercrombie thing, number one. It was self-promotion for a director to try and get more eyeballs on his work. Unless Abercrombie is so genius all of a sudden they went meta on us, but I hardly think so. Also, I hate to tell you, if you're buying clothes in suburban shopping malls, there is nothing elite or distinguished about you. in fact it's quite the opposite. you are pedestrian.on the post: Abercrombie & Fitch rebranded in Skid Row -> #FitchTheHomeless

kidsleepy said:Fair enough. You're not a plant. But I can guarantee you there are usually plants standing by, same way as EA. This is advertising. It's one of the tools of the trade. Social media is generally unauthentic from the start. The majority of Buzzfeed top ten lists are nothing more than paid advertising. Likes are bought on youtube twitter fans are bought, and the use of "fans" by a brand on instagram is so bad now, that the FTC has determined paid posts must be labeled as such. And by "paid," that could mean as little as an ad agency buying you a cup of coffee. Until proven otherwise, I'll substitute "plant," for "tools of advertising."on the post: Oreo "Wonderfilled Anthem" (2013) 1:30 (U.S.A.)
