– Diggin’ these Beijing Olympics-based efforts for Mini Cooper and Samsung. Well, the Samsung one might have confused me if I saw it in person, but the Mini rickshaw thing is pretty dope.
– Should Starbucks engage in latte art? American coffee snobs, a subculture Starbucks helped create, would probably argue yes — if it’s at all serious about maintaining luxury cachet. (Which I increasingly doubt it is.)
– More Michael Phelps ads by Visa. PS — Phelps scored a perfect eight gold medals in the Olympics this summer. It’s so exciting, I’m starting to get spam about it.
– So I guess Verizon is not that into disco.
– Rainbow tribe daddy Brad Pitt is launching a body wash in partnership with Kiehl’s. The product will cost $16.50 market, he’ll appear in no ads, and 100 percent of profits will go to JPF Eco Systems, a green charity he and Kiehl’s started together. How sweeeeet.
