Hey, everyone! Meet iGuy!
 Strangely enough, the theme on AdFreak this morning is squishy anthropomorphic white things. As we raise a glass to the Pillsbury Doughboy on his 40th birthday (see below), we’d also like to introduce you to iGuy, a new iPod holder that lets your digital device actually look like the living being that you privately know it is. (As far as our iPod is concerned, we’re still scratching our heads about that day a few months back when he flat out refused to play Green Day and seemed to have an obsession—which we didn’t share that day—with Pearl Jam.) Anyway, ever since we discovered iGuy yesterday at the iPod Lounge, we’ve been pining for the launch of iGal, and trying to figure out who iGuy most closely resembles. An albino Gumby? Or an albino, headless Teletubby?

I'm kind of surprised I never saw this site before. I'll be back. Meanwhile, I thought you might enjoy excerpts from "Meet the Pillsbury Doughboy" — a set of guidelines Pillsbury gives to advertising agencies that are developing commercials for the company. It was passed to me through enough intermediaries that I don't really know where it came from
