I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
just a thought.. is the new blogversations part of the ad creep phenomena...? In a way?
1) We match advertisers with bloggers
2) Advertisers propose a topic or question (not an advertorial)
3) Bloggers accept or reject the proposal
4) If they accept, bloggers discuss the topic or question, and link to the discussion on their blog's front page
5) Advertisers truly engage audiences without doing evil; bloggers get paid for doing what they do best - blogging!
So you log on for your daily dose of EverlastingBlortKottke or Wendellwit and they're all talking about...say, the new iPod ready BMW..... How would you feel about that? (not much different from today perhaps...but...Well, what do you think about it?)

Well, Blogversations promises to engage the 18-34 market with blog-conversations on popular related blogs. Blogads is similar - "Blogads stir opinion makers. You need to woo the early adopters that traditional media can't reach. You need to impress 100,000 opinion makers with a colorful pitch, not pester 100,000,000 nobodies with a soulless textad or banner."
Dagens Nyheter reported today that the cow has been slaughtered. On Monday the Cow Parade project people received cow-bits in a bag..... The rest of Dagens Nyheters article sounds like a press release for Cow Parade itself, so apparantly, no clues on whoddunit...
DE SOM TILLSKANSADE sig den färgglada kon av glasfiber framför Moderna museet har förstört den. På måndagen fick projektet Cow Parade tillbaka delar av den kidnappade bildstoden, vandaliserad, i en säck.
Bakgrunden är följande: för några veckor sedan försvann en av kossorna i det kritiserade Cow Parade-projektet, en ko designad av Backa Carin Ivarsdotter som var placerad framför Moderna museet. Så småningom visade sig att den 160 kilo tunga glasfiberkon i naturlig storlek var kidnappad av några som kallade sig "Stockholms militanta graffitikonstnärer". På internet gick de ut med kravet att alla kor i utställningen skulle bort från stan före klockan 12 den 23 augusti och förklaras för icke-konst. Kidnapparna krävde också väggar där stockholmare kan måla och praktisera yttrandefrihet.
BIFOGAD PÅ SAJTEN var en film som visade kon omgiven av två maskerade personer med var sin slagborr i händerna. Dessa borrar har nu varit aktiva.
Projektet Cow Parade har funnits sedan år 2000 och figurerat i flera världsstäder. Kring projektet finns både sponsring och kommers med försäljning av småkor. Bakom evenemanget står Stockholm Visitors Bord och organisationen Cow Parade som i ett samarbete med svenskt näringsliv möjliggör utställningen som avslutas den 31 augusti. Därefter ska de cirka 70 korna auktioneras ut till ett utropspris av 45.000 kronor. 75 procent av pengarna ska gå till Bris.
På tisdagen kl 18 förs ett samtal om kossor på stan, samt privatiseringen av våra gator och torg på Färgfabriken. Där visas David Lynchs av Cow Parade ratade ko just nu. Med vid samtalet är Barbro Hedvall, DN, Bosse Bergman, KTH, Åsa Drougge, arkitekt, Carl-Johan De Geer, konstnär, Tove Fraurud, ung vänster, Gunilla Hedén, kultur och näringsliv.

When he showed up for work at Octavo Designs of Frederick, Maryland, the following morning, he said he was told he'd embarrassed and offended a client who provided tickets to the event -- and that he was fired.The client was a public relations worker who represents the Berkeley County school district, he said. "It's just bizarre that you disagree with them and it all turns evil," Hiller said.
scribbling on bills is already verboten (to continue the bad Hollywood German accent thing). There's some law against defacing the poor old King (on coins and etcetera) and yet another that forbids writing and/or tearing bills apart (and then taping it back together), as it "retires" the crisp clean bill early and thus, costs the Reichbank money (and in the end, us taxpayers). Too many scribbles or pieces of tape and the bill is void and will not be accepted by banks, so careful how many phonenumbers you write down. ;)
I've noticed that links and funny images on the web tend to re-appear in two-year cycles. Seriously!
This ad is now hot stuff over at here at Adrants, and Boing Boing. It was hot stuff back in 2002 as well. :)
The makeup artist Katherine Wilkinson worked on this ad (and has a headshot of said actress). She'll know....
