PSY, LMFAO, MIA Perform Sans Music for Anti-Piracy Campaign Here's a really strange -- but intriguingly unique -- campaign from Madrid-based Lola/Lowe and Partners for Kiss TV which aims to take on music piracy. Three videos feature songs performed without music by PSY, MIA and LMFAO. The three music videos end with the tagline, "If you take out the music, you take out their meaning." Will they be as popular as the originals?

Grey Poupon Thanks Emmy For Not Winning So last night. The Emmys. As you may have heard, Grey Poupon was nominated for a Best Commercial Emmy for its Crispin Porter + Bogusky- created "The Chase" commercial. It didn't win. That honor went to Canon for its Grey New York-created "Inspired" spot. Last night, Grey Poupon decided to release a concession speech made up of tweets and Facebook posts it solicited. At 6:41, the speech is epic...in length. And that's really all. Coke Apologizes For 'You Retard' Bottle Cap Promotion Coca-Cola is in a bit of hot water over a bilingual promotion in Canada which resulted in "You Retard" being printed on Vitaminwater bottle caps. The bottle cap was found by Blake Loates whose sister, Fiona, has cerebral palsy. Fiona's father, Doug Loates was angered and wrote a scathing letter to Coke. In the letter, Loates wrote in part,"The R-word is considered a swear word in our family. What would YOU do if you opened up your bottle of Vitamin Water and on the bottom of the lid it read, 'YOU RETARD? I bet you'd be pissed if you had a Fiona in your life! ... Can you imagine if SHE [Fiona] had opened this bottle???" Mother Sells Daughter's 'One Direction Tickets on eBay As Punishement Well this one's going to sting for life. After finding out her daughter lied about sleeping over with friends at an older boy's house, the girl's mother placed four One Direction tickets she had bought for her daughter and some friends for sale on eBay. And she didn't just place them on sale. Accompanying the ad was a scathing letter publicly chastising her daughter for her behavior. While punishment in this case is likely warranted, doing so publicly is questionable. Yes, it sent a strong message to the daughter but does she need to be scarred for life for committing a "crime" her mother basically admits to doing herself when she was a kid? Or at least that the mother's friends did when they were kids. Of course, this doesn't make what the daughter did right.
