TV Ad
This is a great ad piece, I don't think it was ever aired here, click the screenshot to take a look at the mpe file. Watch the first 5 seconds and try to guess who's ad is it...

My odd obsession with Frosty across street continues...
I got up this morning and proceeded to walk to the living room and look out the window, expecting to see flurries, but lo and behold, all I saw was an amusing sight of Frosty:

aha
I just bought the perfect gift for da boy, or actually, for us. I sure hope he likes it.

*theabove chart is purely my own speculation. feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

So what's next? A new women's shopping magazine called Shop etc. Sounds familiar? Yes, Hearst is putting out this magazine, I guess to compete directly with Conde's Lucky, which is first of its type and have won good reviews and adage magazine of the year.

Also, men, don't feel left out, because soon at your local newstand you'll have plenty of new "shopping" magazines to choose from: Condé Nast will be launching Cargo, a male version of Lucky, and it's sibling company Fairchild will launch Vitals, also a men's shopping magazine. I'm sure Hearst would not be far behind, especially if Shop etc. becomes a real success.
