Parrot Makes Noise, Shark Spotted, White World Wrinkled

– We got to check out the Facebook redesign yesterday. There’s tabs and room for more ads (I’m seeing TWO now instead of just ONE!). Also, personal information is intuitively distributed so you don’t have to read everything from one long column. A lot of people are annoyed because it’s heavy with the social media vibe, but we’ll be used to it in, like, two weeks.

– For Parrot, Feed Company started a video campaign featuring a nightmarish kid on a driving lesson. “We’re done, we’re done! FUCK IT!” Heh.

Shark sighting. Or not. By Mullen for the sharks and rays exhibit at NE Aquarium.

– New spot by BBH/NY and Partizan/LA for LG Steam Washer. It’s called “World of Steam” and takes place in a wrinkly fabric world. It’s weird, but not as weird as this was, and I guess sort of passively pleasant.

– Another Parrot thing: Parrot Not Quail. (I’m not really down to make a parrot the state bird, but we did make the Terminator governor.)

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
