Loving the legendary Wieden & Kennedy's christmas card making machine which requires you to stand out the front of their office.  Merry Christmas all.

Fucking loving the fact that there are 'Complaints Choirs' all over the world.  The Singapore one is just fantastic.

Menu

CoffeeCompany wanted to attract more students so it installed WiFi but many students used the WiFi without purchasing anything.  So the CoffeeCompany decided to move the store’s menu into the WiFi menu of customers’ laptops.  Cute.

Island

Jesus christ.  This is just amazing.  And made me cry.

It's by Jason van Genderen, who won Tropfest NY 2008, understandably.

Values

Am I the only person who has seen absolutely no value whatsoever come from brand values?  Perhaps they add value internally, but I personally have NEVER seen any clarity, simplicity, richness, help or stimulation come from knowing what a brand's particular values are.  On the contrary, they have simply served to confuse, upset, complicate and terrify me, following me around like the grim fucking reaper of marketing wherever I work.

I feel shackled by values.  I look at a list of 'values' - some nouns, some adjectives, some god knows what, all completely and utterly generic and conflicting - and feel the nausea rising up within.  Come near me with your pointless words 'pioneering', 'reliable' and 'community' and I fear we will no longer be friends. 

Tea Bags

Adventurous dudes dangling from tea bags.  Fucking brilliant.  I want.  Now.
