We are seriously digging this new Allstate work!

When you’re up against GEICO and Progressive, it’s got to be tempting to pull out the Big Bag Of Crazy just because that’s what all the cool kids are doing. But then you remember you have a ga-jillion dollar brand to protect. But that doesn’t mean you have to suck. So what you do is, you position the world as crazy, while keeping Allstate customers “in good hands.”
Funny, on-point and stylish. Well done.

Rhett&Link strike again, and somehow make the repo man loveable. We’ll take our bacon out by the pool, Jeeves.

Running a down-and-in…to our stomachs!

From the Department Of Hilarious Unintentional PR, Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Golden Tate got busted for breaking in to a Seattle-area Top Pot Donuts last night.

"They're irresistible," Tate said. "It was kind of a foolish mistake
that won't happen again."

At least not while the store is closed.

"If you ever want some maple bars, that's the place to go," he said.

Tate, 21, was neither arrested nor cited. He was given a warning,
said Officer Carla Iafrate, the public-information officer for Bellevue
Police.

Stupid rookie. That coach is gonna be on him like frosting on a delicious maple bar.

"I'm not disappointed in a guy being in a doughnut shop when they've
got maple bars like Top Pot has," Pete Carroll said."

D'oh!

But seriously – everyone who wants to go to Top Pot right freaking now raise your non-mousing hand. Us, too. Can you buy PR like that? You cannot. Unless you have donuts. Who says crime doesn't pay?

A scant week after overtaking Microsoft as America's second-largest company, Apple has apparently decided to retire the venerable "Get A Mac" campaign. Now, we could argue about whether this makes good business sense or not all day long, but here's the important part:
In a sea of sucktitude, "Get A Mac" consistently brought smiles to our faces. The moment we saw John Hodgman's fact-packed melon, we knew we were in for a good time. How many other campaigns can you say that about? Uh-huh. That's what we thought. Hopefully this tribute video takes a bit of the sting out.
