– George Parker thinks every agency vying for the Heineken account is out of their minds and says it’s a forgone conclusion the account is going to Red Brick Road.

– Samuel L. Jackson calls the cell phones of your friends and family with customized messages to invite them to see his new movie, Snakes on a Plane.

– Altoids is auctioning off three tins of its new Chocolate Dipped Mints on ebay.

– Another wizened George Parker insight: Saatchi has set Youth Connection, a new division focusing on, well, the youthful. George says don’t bother, “None of them ever last, because no one in advertising really has a clue what’s going on in a kids head.”

– This dude is really looking forward to Snakes on A Plane.

– Currently under construction, Madonna will appear on an 8 story billboard outside Hollywood’s Roosevelt Hotel for H&M.

– If you’re into magazine inserts, Ron Redfern has them for you here.

The habit of stacking your own plates and wiping up your own mess before leaving a restaurant table costs nothing and asks nothing of anyone else, which is probably why it stands out so clearly to the people whose job is cleaning up after everyone who doesn’t.
