– Apparently, Lord Maurice Saatchi is an idiot. Yup, he is.

Adland has re-designed and we like it a lot.

– Part name-change announcement, part just-fun-to-do, the Chicago office of Zig has created a silent auction to remind their old Hadrian’s Wall email list of their new name. They’re auctioning off various Hadrian’s Wall paraphernalia on eBay.

– Landor Associates has unveiled the new identity and rebranding work it did for The Museum of Television & Radio which is now dubbed The Paley Center for Media. Hmm, even posthumously, media types have an ego the size of a museum complex.

– Ads of the World, the one stop shop for ad creative the world over has been acquired by Jupitermedia Corporation and incorporated into the publisher’s Graphics.com network.

– Scamp’s got the new Sony commercial out of Fallon London. We’re not impressed. Other than wishing our local car wash was this much fun.

– Bob Garfield and Lee Clow sit down for a chat about what’s happened in the ad industry since “1984.”

Cornell researcher Vanessa Bohns has spent years studying why people agree to requests they’d rather decline, and her research consistently finds that people dramatically overestimate the social cost of saying no, which means most of the exhaustion of over-committing gets paid for a consequence that was never really on the table
