We’re already used to celebrating “the internet” (mostly social media) on different mainstream media platforms, such as TV shows and massive print coverage as well.
One lousy sub trend, which should be legally banned is mimicking ‘internet phenomenon’ in advertising. Like this atrocious rip off or the lame Mastercard idents for the Brits award which [...]
I actually don’t think I ever wrote about banners for the same reasons that I can count on 3 hands the number of times I ever clicked on one.

I couldn’t figure out what brand/product/service lies behind it so I [...]

From next Monday through Dec. 31, P&G’s Charmin brand will operate a public restroom in the heart of Times Square, amply stocked with Charmin Ultra, and complete with attendants who are assigned to clean up after each use. (Via NYT)
