this might be it and the ideas berg/bonnier showcases are interesting but the execution is a bit clunky. well, that’s the easiest thing to fix i guess.

wireless power outlet. really?
Posted on | October 8, 2009 | No Comments
it was introduced at the CES early this year but so far i’ve been only aware of the powermat. what’s more interesting though is the technology integrated into other areas like a kitchen counter top or office desk. like that a lot, cables should be part of the past by now.

pornconfetti
Posted on | September 17, 2009 | No Comments
who would have thought anyone would ever care about the original material confetti is made from. well, someone from germany does and turns porn mags into party confetti, called pornconfetti.
so if you are actually the party dude that sits quiet in the corner because no one wants to talk to you, you can now spend time with trying to find the hottest confetti piece in the mix. that easily fills the evening and might be rewarding.
online orders are possible at pornconfetti.de.


what’s the point?
Posted on | September 8, 2009 | No Comments
a disaster on all levels. the ad below (the headline reads: “the tsunami killed 100 times more people than 9/11. the planet is brutally powerful. respect it. preserve it.”) from DDB in brazil was originally rewarded with an one show merit award that just got withdrawn.
first of all the fact that it got a merit award is pretty bad in itself because the creative message has no point. why comparing one disaster with another one? should i feel more bad for the victims of the tsunami? yes, our planet is powerful but what does it have to do with 9/11? i respect that anyways.
secondly it’s bad to label an ad creative which uses an image that creates guaranteed uproar just because of it’s topic. and lastly the web community bashed it for being a hyper insensitive ad which i am sure doesn’t help the WFF at all. all leads to DDB having a completely home made image and pr issue. advertising that works - in one way or the other.
