– As AdFreak points out, Chysler may want to revise the ad it has placed introducing the Time PErson of the Year. The ad’s headline reads, “You might not be the Time Person of the Year.” Oops.

– The controversial PayPerPost, a service that pays bloggers to write things about brands now requires those bloggers to make not of that on their blogs. Since the disclosure is not on a per post basis, this simply calls into question the merits of every single word ever mentioned on the blog.

– Esquire gives a nod to the 2003 Pop Montreal Festival poster with its current cover featuring George Clooney.

– Looks like Channel One, the company that pretends to educate kids but is all about delivering ads to them, is in trouble. Complaints have increased. Revenue is down. Regulation looms. A sale is possible.

– Yet another spoof of Dove’s Evolution.

– Greenpeace continued its efforts at calling the public’s attention to Apple’s apparent less-than-green approach to manufacturing its computers by shining green lights on the the company’s 5th Avenue store in New York City last Thursday night.
