Why Date When You Can Engineer? Introducing the Manquarium

We totally dig how girl power in marketing is manifested in self-imposed inaugurations and, now, opportunities to actually build men.

The Lumberjack Returns, Pay Homage to Maddox

Adpulp passes us another goodie via the Scotsman, who posits sweet-smelling metrosexuals are (finally!) bowing out for the retrosexual - or, as Maddox would say, the lumberjack.

While Adpulp ruminates over the presence of Burt's Bees in the market, we're going to take a shot in the dark and say the guy who gave us "9 things I learned about the world according to anonymous stock photo models" is also directly responsible for the return of the flannel-sporting burly man.

Candystand Finally Develops a Sudoku Game

Our surrogate employers at Wrigley's Candystand have leaped on the Goodship Sudoku with a casino twist that we're sure will sell plenty of gum.

If somebody can give us a good logical explanation of why Sudoku has taken the nation by storm, we'll give you a present.

Burberry Spotlights the Monarchy of Sex, Drugs and Rock

Adpulp observes Kate Moss has just been consigned in her 10th Burberry campaign. Shot by Mario Testino, the prints feature the Coke Captain herself rubbing elbows with the sons of rock stars.

Good to know royalty's as decadent now as it was once upon a time. It really brings the fairy tale close to home.
