OMG, WTF BBDO!

From the New York Times:

Brooklyn has given the advertising industry prominent executives like Jerry Della Femina, Philip B. Dusenberry of BBDO, Michael I. Roth of the Interpublic Group of Companies and John D. Wren of the Omnicom Group. Now, the industry is hoping to return the favor.

At a news conference this morning at Borough Hall, representatives of the industry who included Mr. Roth joined with Marty Markowitz, the Brooklyn borough president, to announce plans for a high school in Brooklyn that would be dedicated to advertising and media studies.

The goal is for the school, if approved by the Department of Education, to open to an estimated 400 students in September 2008.

The proposal for the school was previously disclosed in articles in The Daily News. The plans are being described as the advertising industry begins today a weeklong series of events, panels and seminars in New York known as Advertising Week 2007.

High School Drama + Adcenter Drama = HOLY CRAP!!

Sure it looks good...

... but I really don't think it gets you to your destination much faster in NY traffic.

MySpace TV

Quarterlife is coming.

A show about a group of twentysomethings coming of age in the digital generation. And a social network about what it means to be creative, to pursue a passion, to make a difference in the world -- or just to find a place in it.

From Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, creators of "My So-Called Life," quarterlife is the first Internet series that could just as easily be a film or a television show - it's smart, funny, emotional...real.

It premieres on MySpace November 11th, and on quarterlife.com November 12th.

I was out at Fisherman's Wharf this weekend and ran into some interesting characters. This being the greatest I've seen in some time. If a dog will wear glasses - who knows what is next. So cute! Maybe next on the roster is a GoDaddy tattoo.
