    Wait copywriting is a bullshit hack job done by joke-y and moneyed youngsters tending to the whims of dullards? I thought it was like "The Right Stuff" or some shit.

    what if one of these young waggish copywriters is engulfed in flames out on the sidewalk, and maybe I'm walking down the other side of the street with a Venti coffee loaded in my bladder? Should I cross and extinguish? I just can't know for sure until I'm there I guess. #marketing

    Cute story, but even Darren Stevens or those guys on Mad Men would know that you can't leave the word "juice" unmodified, if the product has no juice. #marketing

    When is the novelty people associate with all of this stuff going to wear off? Because I want to be there, watching all of their "I just sharted and it's making its way down my leg" faces. #google

    @LatestBy: It'll probably start out as a serial rapist's "souvenir" on SVU and by next season, the techs will be hacking into it on both 24 and Criminal Minds.

    Very scary, but I predit it'll be the norm within the next decade. It's sort of Facebook photo tagging taken to its logical, evil conclusion. #google

    I heard the ads with Julia Allison in them were Web-only, and she wasn't in any of the ones broadcast on television.

    Is that wrong? Hamilton, do you know for a fact that this one was broadcast on TV, not just posted on the web?

    Just curious ... #advertising

    I've never seen this commercial before. Does it even play in the U.S.? Besides from that, it is a very odd commercial. Why was she even up there? And why didn't the "Can you here me now" guy get to say anything? Odd indeed. #advertising

    She's become the female version of the Mac Guy.

    Minus the annoying not-quite facial hair.

    I think. #advertising

    Nothing odd about it at all. There are lots of models with great racks who have no name recognition. #advertising

    Dude, I watch sports obsessively, which is the only time these ads are ever aired, and she is not in the tv edit. Maybe this version airs on, like, Oxygen, I guess, so I shouldn't be so strongly dismissive but ads only count when they're shown on Fox NFL Today. It is weird that they forced poor Peyton Manning to sit next to her though. The one with the cartoon characters from "Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs" sitting with Peyton and Justin is way better because what the HELL is going on in that one? #advertising

    Fankly, Justin Timberlake comes across vastly more dorkumonguous than Miz Julia. In the old days A-listers had the decency to shill exclusively on Japanese TV. This is kind of a step up for her and a tumble down for him. #advertising

    She's really just a Real Housewives of Schenectady waiting to happen, or perhaps an inevitable participant in VH1's Real Love with an Old WhoreBag and the People They Like to Copulate With for Money on Television As if We Didn't Know series. #advertising
