The Mosler MT900S looks like something Darth Vader would drive, if he needed to drive. So it was fitting that the first customer ever for the new model was George Lucas.

The filmmaker ordered his car with an all-black interior and exterior, rear wing delete option and an Alpine 12-disc CD changer/stereo with a lightweight carbon fiber subwoofer enclosure. In addition, Mosler Automotive custom fit the seats and interior to Lucas' personal dimensions. Final sales price was $203,000.

A quick poll - which full-on lip-kiss makes you queasier? The one for Lisa Marie Presley or the one for James Brown?

As if to prove the "head on apply directly to the forehead" theory of advertising - repeat everything three times so people pay attention - here's my third (and final) ad agency related post of the day. Back in 2001, an excellent little spoof called The Truth in Advertising did the rounds, and is still talked about in hush tones at agencies. Now there's a successor, which clearly suffers in comparison (as would anything), but is probably still worth a few minutes of your time - The Truth in Ad Sales.

I stayed away from mentioning "ad agency christmas cards" because by and large they were all self-referential, unfunny and unoriginal. But kudos to Mono (great name) for a little app that had me playing with it for quite a while.

Over the last few years, I've often been involved by big, slow moving Fortune 100 companies who have asked for a "viral video". I've often told them them that one of the (many) reasons a clips goes viral, especially in the US, is because it provides a level of entertainment that national broadcasters are uncomfortable with, either language or nudity, or themes.

And they usually nod their heads wisely, ask that you try anyway, and fail spectacularly because, mark my words, no marketer every got to a position of authority in a big corporation by taking risks, they did it by MITIGATING risk whenever possible. Because risk, by it's nature, sometimes leads to failure.

So my hat is off to Kodak, because this thing REALLY made me laugh this morning. It may not be "jibjab" but, for a company like Kodak, this is pretty damn bold, and someone in that company took a huge risk. Kudos.
