Fav Jan/Feb posts

A couple favorite posts from Jan/Feb

You know how Capital One let's you customize your card's picture? I had a hypothesis that they probably had to reject quite a few pics based on corporate standards, but it seems one got through...
Favorite SuperBowl ad was for the Hyndai Genesis Coupe. Good strategy showing a majority male audience 3 seconds of your new sports car. It's like getting a taste of a nice steak, and then having the entire meal removed. Well played. Most funny had to be Conan for Bud Light...





Speaking of superbowl ads - Cash4Gold did a fun spot with Hammer and the Mac ("a gold medallion of me wearing a gold medallion"). I had heard from some blogs of how this is a huge scam, and indeed consumerist has a tell-all up. Must read if you want to understand how to run a shady business
