If you are a fan of comedy, live in the New York area and want to support a good cause, mark December 17 & 18 in your calendar for the John Roberts Comedy Show in support of HUNGRR. John Roberts is the co-writer (along with Clay Weiner) and star of the YouTube hits The Tree, Jackie & Debra and The Phone Call (just to name a few). View all things John Roberts here and full event details here. All donations from these two nights will go to Community Food Bank of New Jersey.

Synchronized for the Audi Q5 the latest from Psyop, produced with Tempomedia and Stink, for Berlin agency Heimat. Psyop was asked to show the principle of synchronicity and to find interesting ways to create real images of driving using thousands of perfectly synchronized humans holding cards. A Q&A with Psyop directors Eben Mears and Marco Spier is posted here along with full production credits. 

This is the third time that I'm posting a link to Yay! Monday! It's out every Monday and is a great place for creative inspiration or diversion. In this week's edition, I really like the work of Paris-based illustrator Emmanuel Polanco and photographer Narelle Autio.

This spot for JC Penny, by Saatchi & Saatchi New York and directed by Hungry Man's Bryan Buckley, hits home on so many levels (too many to get into). So many things are great about this spot; the intercom relaying positive messages, the line "duel bag doesn't even know why he's here" and the review board - priceless. Thank you peg leg Tommy for sending it my way. It made my day. Question: do they sell these fantastical "dog houses" at JC Penny? If yes, put me down for two.

This spot has reminded me how much I miss Mad Men. When will season three start (dying here). If you feel the same way, get a little Don Draper and Robert Sterling fix in this video created to promote the CTAM Awards. Found on AdRants (thanks Steve & Angela).

I've been a fan of Montreal-based Sid Lee for some time now and I'm happy to report that they've just opened the doors to their new European office in Amsterdam. Sid Lee's Amsterdam headquarters not only houses the agency, but also the company’s first creative gallery, retail store and café. It all sounds super cool. Good thing they changed their name a few years back from Diesel to Sid Lee. The name Diesel would have been really confusing in regards to the retail store. The full story, with pics, is here on Marketing's site.

I'm a girl, my website is pink and yes, I love Barbie. Growing up my two favourites were Ballerina Barbie and Superstar Barbie (pics here). Mattel, Ogilvy Los Angeles and The Famous Group have teamed up to create this amazing site that features a lengthy video that veers through 50 years' worth of Barbie dolls and their accessories. The clip is seemingly taken in one shot as a 35mm camera roams through an expansive miniature set featuring Mattel's various Barbie designs. Visitors can stop the video along the way to take close-up looks and get info on specific Barbie items, click on whether they had it or wanted it and share memories of the items.
