  • Now Casting: Survivor meets Mad Men

    January 26th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    The guys behind "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and "The Apprentice" are now casting for a reality series where hopeful young advertising folk pursue their dreams of either working at one of the top agencies in America...or getting attention by failing miserably in front of millions.

    Either way, color us interested. Flier - not designed by a top agency - below:

    If that doesn't pan out, you can always find a job here.

  • Requiem for a Tree

    January 26th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    German artist Bartholomäus Traubeck rigged a record player to reads tree rings instead of vinyl using a light, digital camera, and a computer program to process it. Further proof that Philip Glass is actually made of wood.

    PSA on deforestation in 3, 2, ....

    YEARS from Bartholomäus Traubeck on Vimeo.

  • Football for 3,000

    January 25th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    For two days every year, a sleepy town in England turns into one brutal, bombastic, big-ass rugby game. More than 3,000 people converge to beat each other unconscious while chasing a ball around.

    Think of it as Pamplona's running of the bulls, only with more balls and beer than bulls.

    Steven Prestemon, editor at Whitehouse Post served as Executive Producer as well as Editor on "Wild In The Streets", a documentary that chronicled the event.

  • New Work: Martin Agency tackles Discover Card

    January 25th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    Let's be honest here: Discover has become the MySpace of credit cards. But Martin Agency has been giving it a pretty nice once-over with a slew of catchy ads. If anyone can salvage the brand, it'll be them.

    Speaking of the Martin Agency: They're hiring.

    Turn off the fucking sports radio talk shows already. Stop thumbing solemnly through football articles like funeral cards. And maybe curtail the Twitter death threats aimed at a kicker who missed wide left. It's time to let the healing begin, people.

    Right after this.

  • "The most bowel-releasingist rock theater production"

    January 24th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    The Baltimore Rock Opera Society needs a few good men. Or women. Or whatever the hell your gender parts qualify you as.

    This is a call to arms for grits and griots alike (lifted from their website):

    "Attention brethren! Baltimore Rock Opera Society is gearing up to produce it’s most bowel-releasingest rock theater production to date, and we need your help! BROS is searching far and wide to recruit creative types to lend a hand in all aspects of ValHELLA, a Norse mythology-inspired ragnarokoperetta. Say what? ValHELLA tells the story of three demigod brothers and their role in ragnarok, the downfall of the gods that created the world we live in today–all in 90 minutes. That’s right, BROS is finally packing the epic into a sittable time frame. If you want to be a part of it, the following departments want to hear from you:

    Prop building
    Animation & Special Effects
    Set building
    Costumes
    Backstage crew
    Front of house crew

    If any of this describes what you’re into, or even if you can help in a way we haven’t thought of yet, please contact Mungo at johnny@baltimorerockopera.org and let him know what you’re interested in doing. All work will be done on a volunteer basis, but you’ll be able to share plenty of Natty Boh and receive our eternal gratitude.
    Finally, for the prima donnas out there, we will be having auditions in mid-February–exact date and time to be announced soon. Want to be there? Join the mailing list or follow us on Facebook to be sure that you get all updates."

    Let's face it. You're getting kind of weird. All you do is sit in your cube all day surfing Gawker. Sure, maybe you write a few headers or adjust the kerning on some 1/4 page promo in the Penny Saver, but really, you need to get the hell out.

  • DC changing street signs; still unnavigable

    January 23rd, 2012 / Comments (0)

    Crimes. Corruption. And now mixed case.

    And so ends the severe reign of all-cap street signs in our nation's capitol. But fear not, like most things in DC, it'll take a decade or more for it to actually take full effect.

  • VW creates Golf-porn for iPad

    January 18th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    AKQA knows that Vee-Dub owners are almost as religious about the brand as Apple owners. To celebrate the new 256-horsepower Golf R, they created an iPad app, presumably to help drivers pass the time when they're not driving the car, thinking of driving the car, or learning to speak German. The app is video-rich, packed with documentaries, testimonials, and retrospectives. One thing we would've loved to see - a game that allows you to virtually test drive it.
