Brotherly Love vs. I <3 NY

nobody@vox.com(iv) — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 10:47:56 -0700

I love visiting my friends in Philadelphia. It's not NYC, but I think that's the point, it's a completely different kinda of place. And by different, I mean better for me.

Don't get me wrong, I totally get the romance of Manhattan, but no one really wants you here. Seriously, get out. And if you don't agree, watch the reaction you get when you hold a door open for someone! Seriously, try it, you won't be disappointed!

ANYWAYS, a friend recently passed on an interesting ad campaign capitalizing on the eroding myth of the big city... to get you to move to PHILADELPHIA of all places. And I like it! In her words, "it's great copy. It really makes you think more than twice."

I couldn't agree more, I thought about it THRICE. Definitely check it out. (faves below):

Taco Bell anyone?

BTW, an artist's loft below canal starts at $2200 WITH a brokers fee. PROVE ME WRONG I DARE YOU!

Imagining the Future of Advertisements

nobody@vox.com(iv) — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 09:57:15 -0800

I recently ran across this. It is a compilation reel of all of the ads created SPECIFICALLY for the film "Children of Men".

Question: Was this ad produced in 2006 or 2027?

Okay, weird on several levels:

1. The had to hire a real agency to create all of these ads, like doing "market research" for "the future". Proving my original hypothesis that all real "market research" is about as valid as tarot card readings.
2. They are ads... FROM THE FUTURE.
3. In a future plagued by infertility and chaos, the only noticeable difference are the there are now ads for suicide.
4. Future. Infertile. Chaos. Jackets for Dogs. It's like a reverse timeline for the destruction of our civilization.

Off subject for a second, if you haven't seen this movie already you are missing out. It's the perfect marriage between entertainment and artistic expression.
