The Other White Meat

Great blog about the pork industry's decision to abandon their long running tag line 'the other white meat,' and why doing so is a mistake!

Great refresher on Branding 101 as well!

Ralph Bakshi's fractured, forgotten film

I loved Ralph Bakshi when I was a teen. I guess I was turned on by the rotoscoped animation in the Lord of the Rings, and with the crude humor and drama of Fritz the Cat. I've never seen Hey, Good Lookin' or Harlem Nights (I'll refrain from using the producer's-not Bakshis-offensive, revamped title), but I just stumbled upon a great article about Bakshi and the traumatic time he had making these films. Looks like I'm going to have to hunt for the DVD's so I can see them for myself.

If you're unfamiliar with Bakshi, I recommend Fritz the Cat, the Lord of the Rings, and Wizards.

Social Marketing (great video!)

Terrific video presentation on social-marketing brought to my attention by Dave Courvosier.
