Facebook Cartoon Campaign
This week Facebook seems to have transformed into a social network for 80s and 90s cartoon characters. Apparently, I am now friends with The Powerpuff girls, Hey Arnold, Sonic, Penny Crayon and Yogi Bear.
According to many a 'copy & pasted' status update...
"Change your Facebook profile picture to a cartoon from your childhood and invite your friends to do the same. Until Monday there should be no human faces on Facebook, but an invasion of memories. This is in support for stopping violence against children."
Many people believe the campaign was started by the NSPCC to support their fight against cruelty to children. However, the NSPCC denies any involvement with the Facebook group. Although, it welcomes the new focus on the work the charity performs.
The instigator of this phenomenon sweeping Facebook has not yet come forward and many people are beginning to wonder how changing your profile picture is really helping children. Although it certainly draws focus to children's charities, perhaps it would have been better to encourage a donation, before you changed your photo? With 90,000 followers in the largest Facebook group (and there are many more), donating a pound a photo could have raised a lot of funds so far...
This is not the first time a charity's cause has gone viral on Facebook. Most recently, Facebook users changed their statuses to suggestive slogans such as "I like it on the table" or "I like it on the floor" to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month. These phrases predictably raised a few eyebrows on the site. But little did they know that women were actually referring to wear they keep their handbag.

Future/Past/Present Ads
Moma Propaganda have recently released the following ads as part of an 'Everything Ages Fast' campaign. They show how social media will age quickly and might appear dated in the future...
"The sublime, mighty community with just 140 letters!"
"The fabulous voice system able to put your family together"
"Striking, miraculous social team-up!"
"Your films will last forever on YOU TUBE, the champion address on the internet!"
I love these ads, they're topical and a bit funny. They really make me wonder what the next big social devices after Facebook and Twitter will be... Maybe we'll all have a computereised commentator constantly updates others on our mood and actions. I can really see privacy going out the window...

Kleenex
My boyfriend's mum found this great pop up press ad for Kleenex Ultra Soft. It must have cost a fortune to produce but its a really nice and simple idea to get the reader to see just how soft the tissues are...
This is the first page you see. It just says 'It's like 80 pashminas in a box'. Sort of boring as you think its just a single press ad and then you open it up to this...
Its a pop-up box of tissues! And you even get a free tissue to cop a feel of - and it really is very soft.
