Since Facebook is making news this week with Microsoft buying a stake in the social networking service, I thought I’d share this funny and clever spoof of the John Woo 1997 film Face/Off starring John Travolta and Nicholas Cage. The spoof uses the film to address identity theft in Facebook.

The Advertising Show Podcast
Despite my belief that traditional advertising is broken, I really do enjoy The Advertising Show podcast. It’s actually a weekly Internet radio show that is available as a podcast, but that’s a distinction without much of a difference. It’s streamed every Sunday at 5 p.m. Eastern Time. The Advertising Show hosts Brad Forsythe and [...]Why Traditional Advertising Is Broken

As a result, of course, I was forced to endure the commercials. I’m forced to watch ridiculous commercials [...]The Case For Video Biographies For Business

Remember the scene from Minority Report where Chief John Anderton walks through a shopping mall and personalized advertisements jump out at him from each store? That’s Steven Spielberg’s vision of augmented reality:
Spielberg’s portrayal of the future of advertising probably isn’t that far off the mark, except I’d think there would be far less clutter and [...]
