I’m a huge political junkie, but I had not seen most of these ads. Some of them are so “freaky” I don’t even know what to say.

A well done crossover promotion for the USA Network summer series, Burn Notice and Royal Pains. Bothe shows return on Thursday, June 3, back to back at 9 PM and 10 PM. I’m looking forward to it.

37signals new book REWORK was released a little more than a week ago. It is currently #3 on Amazon. In the top spot is Karl Rove’s new book Courage and Consequence, which he has been on TV for what seems like twenty hours a day promoting. In a wonderful display of humor the folks at 37signals and Coudal Partners wondered how they could complete with Rove and all his powerful friends booking him on every media outlet. Well of course they created an attack ad.

In fact, the UK broadcast of his show was forced to run without any advertisements for five straight days in a row as of yesterday. And if that isn’t bad enough, 103 former advertisers have made public their intent  to halt all future advertising on his program.
