Ever heard of The BeanCast? It’s OK. Neither had we up until a few months ago when this half of Adrants was invited to appear. It’s a podcast. Well, a new one is up and it’s – surprise – all about the Super Bowl. Yea, we know. It was duller than a newspaper circulation department this year but, hey, it’s our job to discuss the ads ad naseum, right?
Hear Steve Hall from Adrants, Bill Green from Make the Logo Bigger and Ken Wheaton from Advertising Age diss the crappy ads and, yes, laud the ones we loved. There were few.
We also talked about the Phelps “debacle,” Ashton Kutcher, swimsuit click-fraud and those 60 poor souls over at Crispin Porter + Bogusky. Sweet, huh? Oh and we couldn’t help but mention an actor named Christian Bale.
