Advertising on Broadway

Broadway patrons were outraged when a three minute ad for London's tourism bureau aired this week before their scheduled Stomp. It was the first time an ad has ever been shown on Broadway. Obviously, outrage was not the reaction the tourism bureau was going for, so it seems to be a failed experiment.

It might have been cool if the ad itself were acted out, with singing and a storyline and whatnot.

Any businesses out there want to try this on? I'll write a three minute musical for you.

Global Warming Is Our Friend

Sustainability advertising has been turned on its head.

A series of TV ads will be released today in the United States to emphasize the benefits of greenhouse gasses, especially carbon dioxide.

The ads, sponsored by the Competitive Enterprise Institute, have been made to counter the bad press greenhouse gasses have been getting lately and are being produced just in time to poke holes in Al Gore’s new theatrical release, “An Inconvenient Truth.”

Here is some copy from one of the ads:

"The fuels that produce CO2 (carbon dioxide) have freed us from a world of back-breaking labour, lighting up our lives, allowing us to create and move the things we need, the people we love. Now some politicians want to label carbon dioxide a pollutant. Imagine if they succeed -- what would our lives be like then?"

"[These ads] fly in the face of most of the science," Charlie Miller of Environmental Defence said of the institute ads.

Red Hot Chilli LOHAS

It appears that the lifestyles of health and sustainability movement has picked up some celebrity support. Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, after attending a LOHAS conference in California has insisted that his record label print their latest album on fully recyclable paper. He is the latest in sustainable celebrities including George Clooney, Daryl Hannah and Raquel Welch.

Nothing draws the eye or adds credibility faster than a celebrity. They are an advertiser's holy grail.
