…And The Strike Goes On…
The Huffington Post and TVWeek can get you your daily update on the WGA strike. It seems like a pretty massive deadlock at this point, and we’ll continue to link updates…but honestly, there’s not much to say at this point.
What we find interesting is stuff like this: NBC Rings Up Holiday Refunds (ADWEEK)
Short of offending the struggling writer living off Cup Of Noodles right now…it really looks like this strike is hurting the networks and studios more than it’s hurting the writers.
E’rybody Makin’ It Rain - This Time With A Little Cherry Chocolate…Mmmmmm…
You might remember Tay Zonday’s original track titled “Chocolate Rain.” Well, the good folks @ True Entertainment & Dr. Pepper decided to do a bit of long form viral in the vein of Tea Partay. Sure, “Cherry Chocolate Rain” isn’t necessarily original, but we love how it sexy-fies Dr. Pepper’s newest flavor.
AdChops is all up in arms about this for no good reason.
When critiquing an ad, I feel it my responsibility to watch the whole thing before casting judgment. I cannot tell you how hard that was on this one. I just wanted to reach through the monitor and choke the little bitch.
Sounds like a touch of bitterness towards a pretty funny piece of content. Then again, where would we be without a little misplaced anger every now and then?
