We will carry your suggestions through to May 6 and then we will crown the winner just as the new PM takes over. TheMarketingblog 'Cheering Up' period is now in progress.


Brilliantly edited,this video is actually a remix of a previous viral video that caught two cats apparently engrossed in conversation.

Another embarrassment for the Tory party
From 'Cash-Gordon' to 'Crash-Gordon' and see Hitler's reaction to the fiasco
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhUkExL-wFI

British Twitter users discovered that a tweet containing a hash tag with the site’s name could be posted to its front page without moderation "Those responsible for the page should have been filtering incoming Tweets or simply sanitising the code before it was reposted"
Hitler's reaction to Cash-Gordon fiasco

The Conservatives’ flagship Cash Gordon campaign has been taken down after hackers targeted the site with a rudimentary code injection attack. The twitter stream on cash-gordon.com  allowed mischievous tweeters to redirect visitors anywhere they wanted:

The view from Latin America’.

In late 2009, MEC asked a number of commentators, both from within and outside WPP, to share their thoughts on the effects that major global forces, most particularly the financial crisis, were having on consumer behaviour.

Named 'Strategies for a new consumer age' a collection of essays and videos has been created and when put together they show how consumers around the world might behave post-recession, and how brand-owners could best capitalise on this.

Heighten awareness of male domestic violence
An image of an emasculated man who appears to have no genitalia
"One man dies as a result of domestic abuse every three weeks"
http://www.ncdv.org.uk/maleDVweek.html

An image of an emasculated man

JWT London is launching a provocative campaign for the National Centre for Domestic Violence (NCDV), to highlight the fact that one man dies as a result of domestic abuse every three weeks.

The print and TV campaign focuses on the embarrassment and trauma experienced by many male domestic violence victims who often feel too ashamed to report the crimes they’ve suffered or to ask for help.
JWT London has teamed up with renowned photographer Nadav Kander, to produce an image of an emasculated man who appears to have no genitalia. The image is accompanied by the words “we know how it feels to be a victim of male domestic violence.”

By launching this campaign, the NCDV hopes to heighten awareness of male domestic violence, which affects a substantial number of men across the UK.

Critics of Nestlé took social networking site Facebook by storm last week when a Nestlé company page on the site received thousands of complaints about the company's alleged use of palm oil from deforested areas in Indonesia.  Five lessons from Nestle’s Facebook PR disaster

The food giant has a 'fan page' on Facebook where users can celebrate and discuss their favourite Nestlé brands. But the page began to attract a swarm of comments accusing the multinational of unethical practices.  One said: "Start taking some responsibility for where you source your ingredients… and just maybe we will forgive you."
