Unlike PUMA who just couldn't resist over-reacting to that little spew-spoof that ran around the web a while ago, the Subway sandwich chain knows who to deal with potentially bad public relations.
A cab driver was pulled over by police while trying to eat a Subway sandwich and fined. What does Subway do? Distance themselves from the whole event? No. They pay the guys fine ($135), give him free food, and feature him in an upcoming ad campaign. Glad to know there is some brilliance still in the ad business.

Sex, sex, it's all about sex. Even for the the Snuggle fabric softener brand's iconic teddy bear. Rather than a little cutesy teddy bear, he has been made over and now hangs out with a different kind of teddy. Models wearing teddys. Sweet.
A new campaign unveiling the Snuggle teddy's new image will begin next Monday in television, radio, print, and outdoor. The campaign was created by Lowe & Partners Worldwide in New York. Read more about it in this New York Times article.
