Meredith and Elizabeth Twins for a Day
Fellow PR team member, Meredith Schneider, and I were twins on Monday. We knew we had the same blouse, but neither called the other to say we were planning to wear it. I guess great minds think alike! We had a good laugh about it.
Something scary is going on in the creative department at HM&P. And it involves a whole lot of duct tape.

Adidas remixed the Star Wars Cantina scene. How do you send claps over the internet?
Do you ever have one of those days where everything goes wrong? You spill coffee on yourself, you’re late to work, you rear-end a cop at a red light. Well imagine that but with a flat tire on a plane and being in the airport during an emergency evacuation. It’s pretty awesome.
Lots-O’-Huggin’ Bear, one of the new characters from Pixar’s Toy Story 3, is making the rounds as 1980’s TV ads. The ads look real. They look just like TV you recorded onto VHS ages ago so you wouldn’t miss the new Saved By The Bell or Miami Vice, complete with sound glitches and fuzzy video artifacts. Amazing work Pixar! They’ve released 2 (so far): the 1983 ad for American audiences and another 80’s ad from Japan.
And to complete the illusion, Pixar created a YouTube account and filled it with real vintage TV ads, sprinkling in their fakes.
Brilliant.
Lots-O’-Huggin’ Bear will be on the big screen June 18th with Buzz, Woody, and the rest of the Toy Story crew, and in your homes as a plush toy as soon as you click through and buy him for a mere $30. Your kids will thank you.
Churchy LaFemme, the mud turtle who was one of the principal characters in cartoonist Walt Kelly’s satirical comic strip Pogo (1948-1975), was as superstitious as a summer day is long — so much so that he would panic whenever he discovered that: “Friday the 13th come on a Tuesday this month!” (Or on any other day of the week, for that matter).
As it turns out, though, for Latinos Friday the 13th does come on a Tuesday, because in Spanish-speaking countries, Tuesday — not Friday — the 13th is traditionally considered to be the day of bad luck.
Do you see the problem?
People in Latin America are forced to face the purported hazards of Tuesday — though not Friday — the 13th, while non-Hispanic folks in the U.S. and Canada need to navigate the perils of Friday — though not Tuesday — the 13th.
We bicultural U.S. Hispanics, however, must contend with both.
So, you know, yikes!
This commercial is so funny just thought I would share it.
I was reminded today that sometimes I forget to tell people what a great job they’re doing. Guppy, this one’s for you:
The geniuses at ThereforeYou have created this amazing Pac-Man trailer.
Pharmaceutical CEO Michael Pacman is forced to take his own dangerous medications in order to survive a maze designed by a sadistic patient out for revenge.
