– David Griner of AdFreak reveals the promotional origins of that one office freakout video. You should thank him; it involved interpreting Russian. (Well, no, not really.) Also, Angelina Jolie is a factor. Collective ooOooOooh.

– Traffic scores the $185 million Mitsubishi account. Meanwhile, the Michelin Man gets cozy with TBWAChiatDay. Awwww.

– Beef and vegetable not doing the job? Treat yourself to cock flavoured soup mix. Just like mama used to make.

– France’s Le Figaro was given promotional access to As if Nothing Happened, the latest album by Carla Bruni, the only First Lady we’ve ever seen naked. Her musical interpretation of Nicolas Sarkozy: “You are my junk. More deadly than Afghan heroin. More dangerous than Colombian white … My guy, I roll him up and smoke him.” SRSLY?

– Renetta McCann is “not joining the Obama campaign — in any manner.” Well, Renetta, Peter denied Jesus not once, not twice, but thrice. That didn’t make them any less chummy.
