– Mina Hochberg, from her review of J-Lo’s movie The Back-up Plan Reading this on the subway the other day I started giggling; such an accurate description of contemporary female heroines.

“Social media is the ‘Wild West’ of advertising and marketing communications...”
– -NYTimes  (via scottwsparks) This is a perfect quote to add to my presentation for the UNL advertising students on Thursday. Finally finished putting the material together, hoping that I can give them at least a tiny bit of guidance and insight.

iPad on Modern Family
Claire: They're getting more in next week.
Phil: Next week? That's like the worst thing you can say to an early adopter.
How true. This was not my favorite episode of the series, but genius product placement by Apple. I actually thought the integration was organic, especially since Phil's character has already been established as a technophile. Plus, Apple didn't hit the viewer over the head by surrounding the show with iPad commercials.
