Hipster bashing has been everywhere of late. Since "Being A Dickhead Is Cool" hit our viral senses a year ago, hating hipsters is well...hip. The word 'dickhead' has even entered the lexicon of our everyday speak as a new term for hipsters. Some brilliant people who do Honda's advertising realised this and have made this wonderful ad. It's wry and funny and there isn't too much hate in it. Just poking some gentle fun.

Controversial Club Orange Ad
Hi, god we are bad at this recently!! I can't really make excuses. Anyway, we're gonna try post something everyday even if it's just small. So I haven't been able to turn on the radio without hearing something being said about the new Club orange campaign. I am not going to say anything and let you all judge for yourselves. Needles to say whether or not you agree you will see where the controversy arises.

Rolling Stones Promote Black Ops.
Now this isn't new news, but those of you with a TV may have noticed an advertisement for the multi-million selling computer game Call of Duty: Black Ops. This excellent bit of selling candy manages to make the game seem like a movie with it's excellent choice of footage and use of editing. But what really makes the ad is the inclusion of what is probably The Rolling Stones best song, Gimme Shelter. This has seen a resurgence in interest in the song and subsequently in sales. In fact sales of the song are the highest they have been since it's release in the sixties. If you look at the comments under the multiple videos of the ad on the internet you will see a generation who were unaware of Gimme Shelter asking what this song is that so perfectly compliments the action. This is one of the savviest bits of business the Stones have done in a pretty business savvy career. Actually I was wondering why my younger brother, who had shown very little interest in music I had shoved his way, had come asking for my copy of 40 Licks. He had booked Black Ops months in advance. Mystery solved. Whatever you make of the medium of promotion, it's heartening to see the comeback of a truly brilliant song.
