Optimal Energy: What do the next 4 minutes of your life look like?
Posted on 08. Feb, 2010 by Jonathan Cherry.
There’s been a lot of talk about ’saving the planet’ and ‘going green’, but talk is cheap and your actions today will affect society tomorrow.
Here’s how South Africans are changing the world for the better… and no, we’re not talking about Die Antwoord.
Iron Man Macbook sticker not for the average jockstrap wearer

Not the iPad
You’re going to label yourself terrible as a nerd if you have one of these, but for those that dream about the lovechild of a MacBook and Iron Man – this is for you.
Get it - before it’s too late
If you like this kinda thing – here’s the trailer for the upcoming Iron Man 2 movie…

Lowe Bull have pulled out another interesting print ad campaign for the Cape Times. It’s not as powerful as the previous one [The Day Before] but acceptable all the same.
Doh...
Mike Ratcliffe is globetrotting and kindly sent us his favourite sign, which he spotted in the Washington DC area.
Probably the absolute worst name they could have granted this place. [thanks Mike]
Please, pray to your gods that this does not become reality. We’d rather exist in a world where machines control us that be spammed like this. Somebody go and take care of the mo’fo that invented this AR stuff before it’s too damn late. [thx Jonathan]
In general, city skyscrapers are damn ugly. It’s no wonder people feel tired and listless when they walk into these places. They’re not natural, or fun or inspiring in anyway. How innovation and creative thought is meant to flourish in a solid concrete block pumped full of artificial light and air conditioning is beyond us.
Left front
Our understanding is that aircraft paint is damn expensive. Probably because is not such a great idea to be bulleting through the atmosphere at the speed of sound with a squashed pigeon still attached to the edge of a wing – so the fancy paint eliminates that unfortunate situation.
Chicken Licken and KFC: Pregnant seems to be the flava of the month
Posted on 02. Feb, 2010 by Jonathan Cherry.
We’ve been avoiding talking about this ad on the Cape Talk Ad Feature for some time now, but we just can’t keep it in any longer.
Wonder if Jacob Zuma is spending a lot of time at Chicken Licken. Or maybe licken’ chicken is what got him into trouble in the first place.
KFC are also on the ‘pregnant’ vibe. Is it something in the water? What came first the chicken or the egg?

The ransom note
As part of their Valentine’s Day campaign, Woolies are running a Twitter-based competition which was promoted with in-store banners with one glarring error…
Oops
The web address on the posters www.woolieslovebird.co.za was clearly incorrect and was not registered by Woolies. Spotting the error the guys over at Yuppiechef [an online kitchen tool retailer] registered the domain and held the Woolies love birds for ransom.
The terms of the ransom?… [www.woolieslovebird.co.za]
To get it [the domain] back, and have us point the address to their competition asap, we’re asking Woolies to match, rand for rand, all donations made towards our 2010 charity, Soil for Life, between now and Valentines Day (and to be nice, we’ll put a limit of R5000 on it). Sound good? Excellent. So we invite all our fans to go ahead and donate R25 or more to support a great cause and make Woolies pay or the lovebirds get it
Thankfully Woolies are indeed playing along and are matching the donations rand for rand for Soil for Life.
Make it better
As intelligent as we are as a species, we do a pretty good job of stuffing things up. Pepsi have identified this fundamental flaw in our thinking and are putting their huge marketing muscle behind making things better.
The Pepsi Refresh Project is giving milions of dollars to funds great ideas that fix the world.
