One week after this year's Cannes Lions Festival, DDB Toronto's Daniel Bonder will be turning 29 and officially too old to attend the prestigious Young Lions Academy. Given that this was his last week in life to be "young", he created "The Fuck-It List" - his submission to enter the 2012 Academy. We'll see what the jury says

It's almost Creative Week. And that means it's almost time for the annual One Show. Are you biding your time before the festivities kick off? Are you anxious? WIll you win a Pencil? Well if you simply can;'t wait, here's something to help you pass the time. Mullen created Kill for a Pencil, a marriage of HTML5 and 8 bit gaming.
In Kill for a Pencil, players help ad man "Jon Scraper" navigate the streets of "Madville," challenging famous advertising icons for the right to a coveted One Show Pencil. Players will recognize some familiar characters, from a lizard hawking car insurance to a well-constructed deodorant spokesman best known for his small white towel and massive pecs.
"We're hoping this crazy ad game becomes sticky," said Mark Wenneker, Chief Creative Officer at Mullen. "The One Show is a perfect place to see how people like it."
Have fun.

Remember Cornelius Trunchpole? You know, that guy from another era who decided to make a return to the world of advertising? Some thought the man behind Trunchpole was Alex Bogusky. Some thought it was Gerry Graf. We still don't really know - ok, we sort of do - but read our interview we had with Cornelius back when he was hitting the scene in late 2010. And get ready for the documentary.
Oh Yes. The Man. The myth. The legend will be featured in a documentary May 9 at the Galapagos Art Space in Brooklyn. Check out the details and a teaser here.
His "life" and tremendous contributions to advertising will be examined as will his recent rise to fame via social media. It should be an amazing experience. Maybe. Just maybe we'll all finally be able to meet the infamous Cornelius Trunchpole. Here's hoping.
Good God! If ever there were an argument for why conference booth babes should be seen and not heard, this is it. David Spark from Spark Minute conducted a duel interview with the Fling.com and iBallers booth babes whose booths were facing each other at the ad:tech conference in San Francisco this week.
Spark very politely made the booth babes look like blithering idiots. Of course, to be fair, booth babes are hired to look good, not to know that much about the company they are representing. The video proved both points.
We snapped some shots of the ladies as well which you can see here. Oh and then there was this picture.

So today ad:tech San Francisco kicks off. Much learning, insight and networking is expected. Last night, several parties kicked things into gear. After a restful nap and a martini at the Marriot's View Lounge, I met Vanessa Branco and we headed over to Row where Dataxu , AdSafe and Ligit were hosting a cocktail party. The place was packed but we did run into Lloyd Berry, a staple at every ad:tech I've ever been to.
We all chatted and then decided to head over to 111 Minna where MediaSmith and PubMatic were hosting their party. Lots and lots and lots of great food there which was good because as a matter of course we never waste time at a sit down dinner. There's just not enough time. Too many things to do.

Held from 7:30PM to 11PM at a yet to be disclosed location (you'll find out when you RSVP), the party will feature an open bar, appetizers and music that's not so loud you can't enjoy a bit of relaxing networking.
