Cynopsis reports “NBC has given a full season order to Friday Night Lights, starring Kyle Chandler. Thus far this season the show has averaged a 2.7/7 among A18-49 and 6.7 million viewers overall.”

– We can’t read “Brazilian”but Burger King Brazil has launched a contest that asks people to submit their own Whopper commercials mirrored after a currently running campaign.

Commercial Alert’s Gary Ruskin eloquently responds to the recent food industry self regulation announcement saying, “”Self-regulation is just another word for letting the fox regulate the chicken coop, which of course leads to dead chickens. Self-regulation has been a key ingredient in the childhood obesity epidemic. It is the problem, not the solution. The childhood obesity epidemic will continue until Congress passes tough new laws against marketing to children. Self-regulation is no substitute.”

– Advertika has an interesting Flash video that has fun with the world’s flags.
