PostSecret's Frank Warren Shares the Love At South by Southwest this week, one of the keynotes was given by PostSecret's Frank Warren. PostSecret started as a blog and still is a blog. Its purpose is to provide an anonymous online confessional of sorts where people's post cards they have created with their secrets on them are posted on the site. The site became a phenomenon and has spawned four books. Sarah Chalke Sports Hanes, Fights Wedgie Epidemic Wanna see Sarah Chalke of Scrubs shake out a wedgie in public? Click on "See Sarah Shake It" at WedgieFree.com. Superfluous body-bends and orgasm faces come stock. This isn't the first time an underwear company has used an ass-shake to push panties. See itchy actors jiggle for Jockey. But if watching a celeb channel Shakira doesn't do it for you, WedgieFree also includes Wedgie Stories (where you can contribute and rate tales with a blush-o-meter) and Wedgie-Free Wednesdays, a contst you can enter for free undyroos. This is part of Hanes' effort to promote its new wedgie-free panties, which look suspiciously similar to the underpants we were forced to wear before Gwen Stefani introduced us to the subtle magic of thongs. And neckties without shirts. MySpace Finds God! Following a decrease in CPM costs some months ago, MySpace's prototypical True.com ads and Crush Calculators have been largely replaced with what looks like a pretty big ad buy by Biola University's school of international studies, which is colonizing the social network for Christ. Is the Lord in your Top 8? Maybe he should be. PR News Channel Launches 'YouTube for Businesses' ...and it looks slightly left of lame. But we can see how, in the farfetched event it were to catch on like wildfire, the site would make useful Channel 6 fodder. See featured videos, including Back to School Diet Tips and (grimace) Dangers of Cigar Smoking. NIB 'Fastrack to Cannes' for Sale on Easy Street -- er, eBay London-based Enter the Chapel swears it has an ad idea that's instant Cannes-bait. But oops, the idea was castrated internally, so now it's for sale on eBay. What've you got to lose? Five quid? Your dignity? Victor Chandler Casino Launches 'Chip Challenge' by NPB How to get new blood into a casino: - Promise the newbs free money Mohegan Sun, are you listening? Red Cross Hearing Test Harnesses Senses for Meaningful Message How does your hearing compare to others in your age group? Find out in this quick hearing exam, sponsored by the Red Cross and Oslo Health. You might learn something about captivating audiences to broadcast a message they'd normally ignore. That's what we walked away with. Thanks Shedwa for pointing it out. MySpace Launches Safety PSA You can debut all the privacy controls you want, but there's nothing like a generic safety PSA to show the feds you mean business. See "Don't Stop the Dialogue," produced by Big Fuel for MySpace. It will run on iKeepSafe.org and MySpace Safety along with featured safety tips and a soothing message from CSO Hemanshu Nigam. Chill effect much? Clio Launches Future Gold Young Creatives Program The Clio Awards team just launched the 2008 Clio Future Gold Young Creatives Program. It's open to copywriters and art directors worldwide, 30 years of age or younger. 12 people -- two from each of six global regions -- will be picked to attend the Clio Festival in South Beach from May 14-17. They'll engage in a 24-hour creative challenge that will be judged by Clio jury members and a client. Winners will be honored at the Awards Gala on May 16. Looking to join? The deadline is April 1. Here's your chance. (It'll only cost an arm and a leg -- but who needs those where fame's involved?) Oh, and beware portfolio thieves. Even among friends! It's a jungle out thar. Because Trolls Are Human, Too. Well, Maybe Not BoingBoing TV put together a mockumentary outlining the history of internet trolls, or people who lurk on your site and leave snarky commentary while swathed in the soothing blanket of anonymity. Like typical troll narratives, it makes no sense and will probably not make you more sympathetic to its plight. But we all need to explore our demons.
