Jameson brings porn back to Times Square

I’m not one of those New Yorkers that pines for the bad old days. A hooker on every street corner and junkies huddled under the Coney Island boardwalk just doesn’t make my hometown seem any more “real.” And as much as I dislike the shopping mall-ification of Times Square, I was shocked to see a 15-foot tall Jenna Jameson staring down at me from a billboard for her latest porn flick, Krystal Method. Could Times Square again be going to the dogs? Granted, the visual—two scantily-clad look-alike blondes standing very, very close together—is no more salacious than an ad for Calvin Klein jeans. But Jenna’s not selling jeans, she’s selling what’s in them. Not to mention that the title plays off an incredibly addictive, dangerous drug that has been credited with a boom in AIDS cases among urban gay men. (Not the film’s audience, but still.) Call me a prude, but it just doesn’t seem right to have the ad a few blocks down from a three-story Toys R Us. Ew.

Springsteen not welcome at Starbucks

Talk about marketing cross-promotion gone awry. First Nike refuses to let Sears sell its shoes anymore, fearing they one day might appear on Kmart shelves. Now Starbucks has declined to sell Bruce Springsteen's new record in its stores, due to lyrics in the song "Reno" that makes explicit reference to a prostitute's sex practices, including how much she charges. Starbucks originally planned to sell the new Columbia Records release, called Devils & Dust, the first Springsteen album to carry a parental warning label, in stores until the questionable lyrics came up. Is it just us or is everyone getting a little jumpy? Relax people, it's just marketing.

Blockbuster's blockbuster earnings call

Here’s a nice Friday time-waster for you, or you can call it as investment research: go to the Blockbuster site for full audio of the argument between Blockbuster CEO John Antioco and investor Carl Icahn on Blockbuster’s first quarter earnings call. (You will have to register). Among the highlights: the two sparring over the size of Antioco’s bonus and whether the whole board should be up for referendum next year. The six-minute exchange—which starts 45 minutes into the call—would have gone on longer. But Icahn appears to be cut off as the chirpy conference call operator interjects. “This is not the appropriate forum for that dialogue.”

Mobsters demonstrate prescription drug preferences

We knew mobsters had brand preferences when it came to stuff like cars, but who knew they had such deeply-ingrained desires when it comes to prescription drugs? But yesterday’s announcement of charges against three suburban New York doctors for supplying Viagra, Levitra and Cialis among others to members of the Gambino crime family proves that direct-to-consumer ads have had an impact within La Cosa Nostra. Even though the complaint centers around erectile-dysfunction drugs, other reports about the investigation demonstrate their yen for brand name prescriptions goes further. According to this story, they were also after cox-2 inhibitors like Celebrex and the now-off-the-market Vioxx, and this story alleges that there was even discussion regarding the anti-cholesterol drug Lipitor. (BTW, in case you were speculating, we are using this post as an excuse to run the pic of the Viagra guy with the horns again.)

Eating the flag: American Idol Pop-Tarts

I don’t know why I should be so amazed about the depths to which licensing has sunk, but could you take a moment and ponder this box of limited edition American Idol Pop-Tarts? They actually feature blue frosting with white stars and red-and-white striped filling! Forget burning the flag—our children are eating it! I’m ashamed to admit that last night with a tired 7-year-old in tow at the supermarket, I actually acquiesced to his demands and bought them, in a purchase that will live in infamy at our house right alongside the time we bought Fruit Roll-Ups that leave temporary tattoos on your offspring’s tongue. But Pop-Tarts have to be the worse transgression, as they are the apex of junk food—featuring colors not found in nature, no nutritional value, and the ability to never go bad even after decades in the cupboard.

Red Sox auction off a motorcycle

Attention Red Sox Nation! Beginning on Monday, Sox fans will be able to bid for a Harley-Davidson "Fat Boy" that has been autographed by the 2004 World Series Champion Red Sox on eBay. The highest bidder will no doubt treat the bike—which comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Curt Schilling and a clear "bubble" display case—like a member of the family. IPG's Hill, Holliday, Connors, Cosmopulos is auctioning off the chopper and plans to donate 100 percent of the proceeds to Bridge Over Troubled Waters, a Boston-based organization that helps homeless, runaway and high-risk youth. The auction will run for 10 days. "The money generated from this auction will go to one of the most important charities in our community," said Hill, Holliday president and CEO Mike Sheehan in a statement. "Through its tireless efforts, Bridge Over Troubled Waters has helped countless teens break the cycle of poverty, abuse and neglect by building secure lives and becoming contributors to the community."

Six feet under, brought to you by Costco

Maybe you read this week that Costco is now selling travel urns—well, they're really boxes—on its Web site that meet “U.S. transportation security guidelines” and can be carried aboard a plane rather than checked. The warehouse chain’s supplier, Renaissance Urn Co. (love the name!), cited the desire of Americans apparently have to travel to scatter their loved ones’ remains in places far from home. And hey, the boxes, which come in three different colors, are a bargain. They’re only $64.99, compared with $250-600 for an urn purchased from a funeral home! We went to the Costco Web site to check the boxes out and found out that they sell caskets, too. The “Mother Casket” goes for a low, low price of only $924.99, while the “Kentucky Rose Casket” retails for only $1,499.99! Got us thinking that Costco should start packaging this stuff with all the items they sell in bulk. A big funeral and reception could finally give people a reason to buy 500 plastic spoons and a 40-ounce plastic jar of cheese balls.

New energy bar lets you eat like a soldier

American cuisine draws on lots of inspirations, but rarely is one of them the fare eaten by U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. But now comes word that a trio of brothers has bought the rights to manufacture the military’s energy bar for consumption among the general public, whose war-like activities, of course, run more along the lines of fighting for better position on the freeway and struggling for control of the remote. The bar, called HooAH! (a play on the Army abbreviation hua, for “heard, understood, acknowledged”), will be mostly distributed in red states though they can be purchased online at this site, where, you’ll note, the camouflage-style packaging used by the folks in the “combat feeding” division of the Army has been replaced by a wrapper that is more blatantly patriotic. But the weirdest thing about this new product—besides the fact that a HooAH! Bar has a shelf life of three years—is that it's actually said to taste good. Explains Combat Feeding director Gerald Darsch in this story on the Department of Defense Web site: “We wanted something to bring value to the warfighter."

More gross-out news: Snake found in cereal box

Oooooh, I get it. It’s “gross things in food” season, and we have yet another example. It was reported in the U.K. yesterday that a 5-year-old lad opened a box of Golden Puffs cereal, and a snake—a real snake!—popped out. The incident has all but killed the family’s appetite, and they may “pursue it further,” they told journalists. The snake in question was determined to be a 2-foot long corn snake, which was kept as a pet in England, authorities said. This should not take too long to figure out: who is missing his pet snake Mr. Slithers, and who thought it would be really, really funny to put him in a cereal box?  I think this case could be solved with a simple reward, unlike the famous finger-in-the-chili ruse that was done to Wendy’s recently. (Hey, did you hear that the suspect’s husband was just arrested on a whole different set of charges?) At least the little guy didn’t actually try to eat part of the foreign object, like this poor fellow who thought a severed finger was part of his chocolate custard.

Do we really need creative bathrooms?

We can sometimes be a slave to trends, but we loved yesterday’s New York Times story jabbing at restaurants that make their bathrooms as inscrutable as possible. You may be familiar with the bogs at Manhattan’s Royalton Hotel, which, as you enter, appear to have no doors of any sort, bathroom stall or no. But the trend appears to have gone way way beyond that to include what writer Frank Bruni says are new symbols on bathroom doors—arrows for men, crosses for women—a “scavenger hunt” at Prem-on-Thai in the Village to work the sinks, and a peephole looking out at the room from the central stall at Peep in SoHo, where the goer “must reassure himself or herself that the people on the other side do not have the same, um, privilege.” One restaurateur describes the trend in the context of engagement—a buzzword we hear a lot these days as an antidote to a cluttered world. But let’s face it: At certain times, despite ever-improving multitasking skills, we want to focus on one thing and one thing alone.

WeatherBug searches for twisters

Remember those endless road trips as a kid when the most exciting thing was how many padiddles you saw? Well, WeatherBug, a weather-tracking software, has taken the road trip to a new level with its latest marketing inititive, Storm Chase 2005. The chase team consists of a pair of meteorologists, one teacher and one WeatherBug customer. Last Sunday, the storm chasers—who are looking for tornadoes in the Midwest—began a week-long quest for wild weather. WeatherBug users can track the team’s progress throughout the week as they blog about their experiences. Among weather watchers, there’s a definite “fascination with tornadoes,” according to Alyce Menton, director of corporate marketing at the client, based in Gaithersburg, Md. So far, the group has yet to encounter even a quasi-threatening rain storm. “This is the time of year where tornadoes are most likely, but you never know,” says Menton.

Off-road with Vertis’ auto research

This should give pause to marketers who rely on purchasing-behavior research: The top-line finding of Vertis’ “proprietary Customer Focus 2005: Automotive Study” reveals that “the number one reason for many consumers to buy a new car is simply because they want one.” Uh ... yeah?! (Other reasons listed include “need one for work” and “current auto mechanical problems.”) Other findings by the Baltimore, Md., researcher are less obvious and more suspect. For instance, the report says 24 percent of single Gen Y men plan to purchase a new vehicle in the next year. Sounds promising, right? But the study defines Gen Y as those born between 1977 and 1994, which would seem to mean much of the sample includes kids 11-15 years young. Presumably this is the (hopefully still single) target that “wants” a car partly because they can do little except want one. But how can the authors be sure they’re not just lusting after Hot Wheels?

Is there a Most Notorious People list?

We’ve never really been a big fan of People magazine’s Most Beautiful People list, particularly because we’re never on it. (And what’s the difference between this list and the Sexiest People list, which last year included Eddie Steeples—aka the Rubberband Man?) This year’s inclusion of teenage kidnapping victim Elizabeth Smart as a Most Beautiful Person strikes us as more than a little off-putting. And we’re not the only ones. At the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which Smart attended as a guest of the magazine, at least a few people found her presence to be “weird.” The development that thrust Smart into the public eye was not one of her choosing, and some of the crimes with which her abductors have been charged would normally require her name to be withheld. Have we entered a new era in which anyone who has made headlines (for better or worse) can make the list regardless of their notoriety? If so, you can expect a post similar to this one next year, when infamous “runaway bride” Jennifer Wilbanks makes the 2006 list.

Loews gets honest about movie start-times

As you’re sitting in the movie theater waiting for the actual movie to start, maybe it’s crossed your mind that it would be great if you could fast forward through the ads and at least some of the trailers. Well, Loews Cineplex is finally doing something better, by starting to remind moviegoers in its advertising that the movie will actually start 10 to 15 minutes after the traditionally-publicized start-time which, of course, includes the commercials and trailers. The move follows customer complaints. The only thing that’s truly surprising about this development is that according to this story in the New York Daily News, the idea is first being tested in two theaters in Connecticut before rolling out nationally in June. We ask: what’s there to test?

Outdoor advertising gets ugly in Utah

Reagan Outdoor in Salt Lake City doesn’t have the best luck with its billboard clients. First there was the animal-rights group that wanted to show a sexually dysfunctional homosexual couple. Then there was the breast-augmentation surgeon whose ad might be seen as tame in Los Angeles but not so in Utah. Now there’s the ad shown here. What’s the problem with this one? Instead of UglyKids.info, many people have been racing home and typing in “UglyKids.com”. There you’ll find a Web site with links to “thongs,” “penis,” “Jewish singles” “Texas hold ’em” and “Kissimmee vacation homes,” among other catch-all search categories. After drawing complaints, Reagan dumped the campaign. What are the ads really for? No one knows. It’s a teaser campaign—the UglyKids.info site currently shows only the billboard, an inscrutable Quicktime video and the promise of “more info May 20.”

What daughters really think of Mom

Who knew mothers were so controversial? In a Good Housekeeping poll of mothers and daughters, 72 percent of respondents “described their mother as a friend.” On the other hand, nearly one-fifth described the relationship in such terms as “cool and reserved” and “high maintenance.” Moreover, “64 percent of women say their relationship with their daughters is loving, but only 47 percent say their relationship with their mothers is loving.” And while 69 percent of women said they’d “be open to having their mother move in with their family, if it came to that,” this means nearly one-third would leave Ma out on the ice. Elsewhere on the pre-Mother’s Day polling front, an online survey by Elegant Bride magazine asked brides-to-be, “Are you going to be a different kind of wife than your mother?” A loyal 15 percent said, “She was perfect, I want to be just like her,” while a critical 13 percent said, “Hell yes, she wasn’t a great role model.” The remaining 72 percent judiciously answered, “In some respects, but not all.” Bonus factoid: Asked to describe “the relationship between your mother and your fiance,” 54 percent said they’re “best friends” (!?); 44 percent answered “neutral (they tolerate each other)”; and 2 percent said “cats and dogs (they don’t get along).”

A rock, paper, scissors and a hard place

I’ve always thought of the Japanese as very buttoned-down, analytical and driven to make all the right business decisions. Then I read in The New York Times last week about Takashi Hashiyama, president of Maspro Denkoh Corp., an electronics firm near Nogoya, Japan. The firm has an art collection it wants to sell, so it heard presentations from Sotheby’s and Christie’s. Poor Mr. Hashiyama. He was so dazzled by both pitches that he couldn’t make up his mind. His solution: Let them settle it with a quick game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, that time-honored way in which kids have settled disputes for generations. Bizarrely, both companies agreed to do so. Christie’s won. Imagine if clients were to choose ad agencies this way. Of course, they don’t, because all things being equal, there’s a more effective way to decide—beat the contenders silly until one of them caves on price. But I guess that’s harder to do if the competitors collude on price and agree among themselves not to budge. Not that I’m accusing Christie’s or Sotheby’s of colluding on price in this case. Never mind that both the former chairman and the former CEO of Sotheby’s (Alfred Taubman and Diana Brooks, respectively) were convicted of doing just that three years ago. Anthony Tennant, the former CEO of Christie’s, was indicted in the same case on similar charges but opted not to come to the U.S. from his residence in the U.K. to clear his name. After that disastrous scandal, these two pillars of the auction-house business clearly learned their lesson. Right?

Hip hip hooray for this Labour Party ad

Who says political ads have to suck like a latter- prototype Dyson? In this entertaining viral ad for the Labour Party in the U.K. (brought to us by AndrewSullivan.com), a woman wakes up shocked to find a strange, smiling man in her bed—not the King from the Burger King ads, but pretty creepy looking nonetheless. They’ve had a one-night stand, and now the guy is threatening to stay ... for four years. “I was thinking this morning we could pop down to Heathrow and test all the foreigners for AIDS,” the fellow says brightly. “Then maybe this afternoon we could open lots of new prisons!” Later, he welcomes his obnoxious friends into the house, ignoring the woman’s complaints. The woman’s old lover, conveniently named Antony, makes an appearance. She pleads for him to come back, admitting that she’s made a mistake. But it’s irreversible. “Why don’t you call me in a few years?” Antony says. The onscreen tagline appears: “Don’t wake up with Conservative. Vote Labour.” Sullivan says the spot is a “spoof,” which we take to mean a viral ad not officially sanctioned by the Labour Party.

Axe deodorant takes its show on the road

So the advertising column in The New York Times this morning was all about a new ad opportunity being offered by Sony on its PlayStation Portable (PSP). The gambit is that people—well, actually young males is pretty much all this crowd cares about—can download short PSP-ready films at Heavy.com, and advertisers can support them “by paying for quick commercials before or after the downloads, or by providing content in the form of branded entertainment.” But what interested us most is the campaign from the effort’s purported first advertiser, Unilever’s Axe deodorant (well, it seems first advertiser other than Sony, which is running short films on Heavy to the tune of Franz Ferdinand’s “Take Me Out”). Axe is paying two guys, Evan and Gareth—yes, Gareth not Garth—to cruise around the country like “seduction crash test dummies” and pick up women. Per usual, we’re not the target audience, but thought you might want to check out their escapades. Frankly, the quickest route to doing that is to go directly to evanandgareth.com where we encountered the duo trying to pick up a young Sophia Loren lookalike in a swamp.

Baseball's new performance-enhancer

It can’t be easy staring down a pitcher in front of 30,000 fans. It must be even harder when the hurler is glaring at you with an intimidating amber glint in his eye. According to this story from the Sporting News, a number of Major League Baseball players have been trying out performance-enhancing contact lenses that help players see the ball in bright sun and have the added effect because of their amber color of making players appear like "some wild-eyed creature from a science fiction film." Orioles’ leadoff hitter Brian Roberts has worn the Nike and Bausch & Lomb contacts—called MaxSight— during game play, while Reds centerfielder Ken Griffey wears them during batting practice. The University of Miami is allowing 20 of its athletes to use them. The companies are also circulating a pair made for golfers, and developing contacts for night play. Before baseball purists start whining about taking the challenge out of the game, consider that even equipment as old and venerable as the mitt had to be marketed to players at the turn of the century. Fielders who considered it unmanly to wear even a bare leather glove to stop a home run changed their tune when star BoSox hurler and sports-equipment entrepreneur A.G. Spalding took the field with a padded model. If it weren’t a rival sports marketer hawking the lenses, I’d say Spalding would be proud.

CBS pioneers rehab synergy

We’ve been sitting around for months now mulling whether we think it’s a good idea for CBS and Viacom to split into separate companies, but after reading The New York Times this morning, we’re convinced they should stay together. Here’s why: it seems that Dr. Phil (does he need further introduction?), whose show is produced by Viacom’s Paramount, has secured an exclusive primetime one-hour interview—during sweeps, no less—with the current holder of the Mr. Rehab title, The Insider’s Pat O’Brien, who was sprung from his facility last week. The Insider, as you might expect, is also produced by Paramount, and y’all get one guess as to which network the show will air on. (Of course, everyone involved says that their corporate parentage had nothing to do with how the interview came together.) Making the whole setup even more beautiful is that the show will air in the spot usually reserved for the Wednesday edition of 60 Minutes. We think this shows that the possibilities of corporate synergy just lie waiting to be tapped—all it takes is a caring—but tough—TV doctor, an underexploited hole in the network TV schedule and yet another contrite, recovering alcoholic.

Mickey, Hilton, Curry join podcasting brigade

What do Disneyland, Paris Hilton and former shaggy-haired MTV veejay Adam Curry have in common? All are plugging their new podcasts this week. According to podcastingnews.com,  Disneyland will send out podcasts of three days of “celebrity-filled festivities” leading to the May 5th launch of the Happiest Celebration on Earth, an 18-month commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Disneyland in California. It will simultaneously kick off ceremonies at Disney parks around the world. Also, you can lose minutes of your life and never get them back by listening to Paris Hilton shop and tool around town with her chihuahua and friends, in her podcasts for her upcoming horror flick House of Wax. And former Headbanger’s Ball host Curry is set to launch his own shown on Sirius Satellite Radio next Friday ... the 13th. Curry’s four-hour, weekday program “will feature highlights and insights from the world of podcasting and will introduce listeners to a completely new range of talent and artists from around the world, including the best new, undiscovered music.” Curry, whose inner geek sprang to the fore during the dot-com bubble, is called the “father of podcasting” in this release from Sirius, which credits him with helping “design the digital tools that have made podcasting a worldwide phenomenon.” We don't know about you, but we're already sick of podcasts—and we've never even heard one.

Allstate signs a car crash of a sponsorship

Allstate reports that it has signed on as the first insurance company sponsorship for Nascar. It's a press release that, were it written by a college English major, would no doubt have "extreme irony" scrawled in the margin. Really though, it's surprising it took this long for an insurer to see stock car races, with their frequent fender-benders and worse, as a good venue for advertising. In addition to becoming the official insurance sponsor of Nascar, Allstate will back an August Nextel Cup Series race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway that will be called the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard. Few sports are as saturated by advertising as stock car racing, whose winners invariably spend most of their post-race interview time reeling off the names of companies who made it all possible. At the Allstate 400, it would seem more appropriate for the driver who crashes out to offer his praise to the race sponsor. It may be the only way to keep his rates from going up.

Levi's Web film goes to the dogs

An AdFreak reader, singing its praises, brought this Levi’s Web spot to our attention. “Punk” says “finally looks like there’s a real and timely strategy.” A dog rips an apartment to shreds while superimposed text talks about how complicated things have become with lines like “Movies became films,” “Mediums became grandes,” “Meat became soy,” before the text explains, “It’s enough to drive a good dog mad.” The black-and-white spot, driven by a punk-pop track by Welsh band My Red Cell, has a raw, homemade feel, especially when it gets to the final shot of the dog ending its tirade by lifting his leg and peeing on a magazine. It’s supposed to be a swipe at marketing with (wink, wink) marketing but all it makes me want to do is swipe the dog ...  I think he’s adorable. The film's not interesting enough to make me want to pass it around and "tell a friend" as the site suggests. I know logic isn’t everything, but why would a dog care about any of this stuff, anyway? He's just having fun while master’s away. I like the tagline, “Uncomplicate,” and the idea that marketing's just gone too far in trying to make products fancier, sexier or more wanted. Unfortunately, this ad didn’t go far enough. Just relied on a dog with old tricks. (Addendum: when we stopped by the site this morning, we discovered there's a second spot up on the home page now, at  501uncomplicate.com. It's a two-minute film called "World Gone Pretty" starring what looks to be a Ken doll and his friends in a think-piece on the horrors of metrosexualism. If you check it out, tell us what you think.)

AI fans in consternation over Constantine

It would not be America if every unanticipated outcome didn't come with a conspiracy theory. Fans of the dishy American Idol contestant Constantine Maroulis, in addition to weeping, have commenced the blaming stage of their grief over his departure from the show last Wednesday.  Whose fault is it? Some say it’s those ingrates at votefortheworst.com, who are pushing the show’s dark horse, the portly and in all other ways less attractive Scott Savol. The site, started in 2003, was created because its founders accuse the American Idol producers of choosing one contestant and “pimping” him/her to the helpless viewing public, creating a show that is tension-free and boring. “So, here at votefortheworst.com, we have a solution. Help us by voting for the worst that American Idol has to offer. That's right, vote for the bad contestants. Everyone knows that the best and most interesting part of the show are the bad auditions. Record numbers of people tune in to see who will become the next William Hung, but why let it stop there?” Well, they may have taken out Constantine, but fellow long-hair, Southern rocker Bo Bice (aka Harold Bice Jr.) looks like he may put up a fight. At any rate, if he should be booted off, his female fans will scratch the producers to death.
