Some Agency Created A Cuervo SportsCenter Parody

You know some creatives are having a lot of fun when they string together the words "visibly excited" and "cocktail" together which is what was done in this SportsCenter parody for Cuervo. The person who sent it to us, telling us her company created it, apparently doesn't realize proper publicity can only come when we actually know the name of the company. Perhaps she'll let us know.

UPDATE: She did. It's Tribal DDB.

According to HP, Those With Glasses Aren't Personal

Acknowledging the power of online communities, blogs and social media, HP is releasing the next series of its "The Computer is Personal Again" campaign online before it hits TV. Unfortunately, the three commercials, starring Mark Burnett, Pharrell Williams and Mark Cuban, will not take full advantage of the web's viral capabilities as, according to the press release, the spots will be released on the HP website and, apparently, not simply seeded out to YouTube, a far faster method of spreading them around. Surely, they will end up there anyway, but HP has chosen to launch them from a site that, on the plus side and the reason they are hosted initially on HP's site, is said allow people to create personalized versions of the spots to feature on blogs or to send to a friend. This, of course, follows nicely with the personalization focus of the campaign.
