CHASE doesn’t mind if you go bankrupt

LVHRD’s offices are close in the heart of Soho, and there are an increasing number of Chase banks in the area.  I personally spend the occasional 10 minutes or so in line a few times a week.  Behind the tellers, CHASE recently installed three synchronized hi-def screens that are generally filled with bubbly marketing messages pushing the latest product or service offering.

Just recently they were marketing their mobile alert service, which allows customers to text their account number to a short code and receive an instant balance on your account.  The…

More and more I have been reading that celebrity is dead, and that more and more teenagers care less about celebrities. But what if everyone could be a celebrity? What if everyone could be Kanye West? Check out this new television infomercial featuring Kanye, a perky blond, and some regular guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TrkrSdyIHY

The Circuit is MOJO HD’s first original Web Series. An informative, entertaining, sometimes twisted look at the latest in tech news with host and honorary LVHRD member Deepak Anannthapadmanabha. It’s like the cool parts of Rocketboom made it with G4 while the Daily Show caught it all on tape.

Episode 9 this week includes Deepak tossing balls with Howard TV’s Bowling Beautys.

Full uncut episodes premiere every Tuesday at noon at thecircuit.mojohd.com, or catch them on youTube.

Teensexed JC Penny Advertisement

A third-party ad agency created the following spot for JC Penny, without approval from the boring clothing manufacturer nor their juggernaut ad corp Saatchi & Saatchi. The ad is really well done, and has a lot of blogs blogging because of its excited portrayal of teenagers preparing to do it.

The ad isn’t upsetting because of the teen sex, it’s upsetting because it implies rocking gear from JC Penny will get you laid. Not true! Go back and ask me when I was poor and 14.

Olafur Eliasson’s NYC Waterfalls: Yawn

There is nothing worse than an artist who busies fleets of contractors and piles of money to half-assedly remind us what a sick artist mother nature is.

Compared to the beautiful sun-tunnel he built in the Tate, this is a rainy scaffolding.

Yawn.

Andrew Bush: Photos at 66/65 MPH

There are three universal laws of driving: 1. The driver picks the music. 2. It always takes less time to come home than it does to get where you’re going. And 3. When you are behind the wheel of your car you are totally invisible.

Architectual Adaptation

Chapels transformed into lofts, old airplanes reborn as railroad apartments, and vacated hangers - with their jets long gone - now shelter community water parks. Humanity’s continued swell and consumption has rendered recycling an absolute necessity, but a few forward-thinking architects see it as more than that: this is recycling as art.

Wear My Sunglasses at Cannes.

When anyone, who is anyone, in the Advertising business kicks it to Cannes, it’s up to the kids who think on the edge of the box to have some real fun.  We really enjoy Ben’s approach to social consumption. We just hope nobody had pink eye.

Put your name on the Moon: Deadline is Friday

Are you the kind of person that wants to send your name to the moon? Don’t answer that.

If you know a friend *nudge nudge* that thinks it would be cool to send their name to the moon in the form of raw, digital data, then  “send them” this link. They have to do it by Friday.

Walk from the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park, no cars

New York will close a record-setting length of pavement for three magical Saturdays in August. The project, NYC Summer Streets, will prohibit cars from accessing a stretch of road running from the Base of the Brooklyn Bridge all the way to Central Park. Run, walk, take Yoga classes on stages set up along the route, and thrill and unbridled excitement of jogging where only cars once dared to roll.
