The Friday Salute – 7/12/13 Edition

Share

Raise a Martini or 2 to the pop, tech, NOLA, music & marketing culture you should be celebrating at happy hour:

BruLee

Bruce Lee is back… To sell Johnnie Walker whisky.
➔ Businessweek causes controversy with its newest issue’s raging hedge fund cover
➔ Because beer shouldn’t meet Mentos… And everyone should follow this rule.
➔ Heineken dares you to hit the button and be sent to parts unknown.
➔ They’re running with the bulls in Spain. We run with roller derby girls in NOLA.
➔ Other European holidays: Bastille Day… It’s French, so it too gets the New Orleans treatment.
➔ Discovering English music by the Little Comets that’s not half bad and anything but Jay-Z’s “Magna Carta Holy Grail”
➔ The World’s Biggest Building opens in China… Complete with its own sun.
Pacific Rim: Giant robot movie directed by del Toro – Not as bad as it sounds.
➔ The cutest darn kitten that a crow couldn’t kill. (What? We have a soft side.)
➔ A creepy, heart-felt and subtly instructional commercial for IKEA…With dolls.
Horror film fest advertising that hits home… Literally.

This is a list of the things that hit our radar this week.
