Fine in my opinion, so long as it doesn't start too early.

Interesting, I'd agree with some of those stats, especially about them destroying the magic. I don't know about banning them, but they do turn me off because they're so IN YOUR FACE CHRISTMAS when I'm not feeling Christmassy at all yet. I counted at least four major highstreet retailer ads set in a 'winter wonderland England' that simply doesn't exist. It's like they're all trying to out-Christmas each other.

So far my Survey Monkey isn't looking good for Xmas ads.

Chris, I've fed your little surveymonkey and I take it that Chris isn't short for Christmas!

I agree that the commercialization of the birth of Christ starts way too early, and every year seems to be a repeat of the same old stuff you've seen over and over since childhood.

Ad Santa's should have a clause in their contracts that specifies; give us all a big surprise, give us something new!

Facebook is so last year. Twitter's going out too. Royal mail is dead. So what's next?

A survey a few years ago found New York tapwater one of the cleanest sources of water in the world.

re: YouTube rocks to 1bn but is the end in sight for Facebook?

SEAN RUTTLEDGE — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 13:47:21 GMT

Why do these guys but into a 2 0r 3 year life-cycle and feel they have to re-invent themselves every 5 minutes anyway ? surely they create a self fulfilling prophesy?

If it aint broke DON'T FARKING FIX IT !

Nick Myers — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:30:02 GMT

I think what we are seeing is an accelerated version of the traditional product life cycle, and stages of adoption. For example, friends and family in their advanced years (60+) are now using FaceBook.

The challenge for companies like Facebook will be to stay fresh through re-invention. I like the strategy of Twitter founders, everything they've built into the site has followed what users have actually been doing (e.g. @, retweet etc).

re: Greenwash is now a criminal act, brands beware!

Kevin Gordon — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 20:31:58 GMT

There's an interesting green conundrum here.

Is it more morally correct to print contents on egg boxes or save 35 tonnes per year, and is it necessary to describe everything in a product to make it legal?

I know there are moves afoot to produce a Cancer-Free cigarette.

When it arrives, should you be allowed to smoke it in a pub?

The erosion of human rites has gone hand in hand with corporations being handcuffed to be politically correct to the point where you can't even say "You'd be mental not to go to a certain garage in Brighton"...because it may upset a few mental patients.

I heard a story of someone recently suffering memory loss watching TV and laughing when the captain in an old black and white film was caught in the act himself.

Where will it all end?

Advertisers making oblique films in Iceland to avoid "sue your ass" lawsuits?
