BP Gets (a Little) Better, MySpace Backlashes, Sicilians Sell Alibis, Ideas Get Buried (Crosses and All)

– Oh, if only gasoline fumes smelled as nice as these candy-coated BP ads look. Meet the trippy A Little Better campaign, the result of possibly too much inhalation.

MySpace doesn’t work for everybody’s agenda, and apparently the people you’re trying to reach may judge your business by your personal social network. Who’d’ve guessed. Well, life on MySpace (if you can call it that) is still going swimmingly if you’re Obama.

– A Bucharest-based Sicilian started a website service called Babalucio. Sound fishy? Wait until you find out what it’s for. We hate to be spoilers but we can’t help it: they sell alibis.

– Germany’s Getty Images brings us to where ideas go to die. We’re not sure what the idea cemetery is selling, but the dedicated website has a handy function for picking grave markers, selecting an idea to bury (photo upload included! YES) and then e-mailing it out and about.

We thought of shooting some over to an agency or two but it’s too close to ad:tech to do that safely.
