– Look! Look! Another YouTube video contest turns into an ad campaign! This time it’s Southwest Airlines who’s awarding the winner of its December contest with placement during NBA playofs in April. Are you just oozing with anticipation?

– Eesh. Now we have to endure Rachael Ray in Dunkin’ Donuts ads…through 2010!

– Massachusetts retailer Jordan’s Furniture is offering a full refund to anyone who buys furniture before April 16 if the Red Sox win the World Series.
