Wesley. I can’t believe he got kicked off of Project Runway–so soon. I had Wesley winning it all in an office pool. Yes, Wesley’s overworked eco-friendly work wasn’t stellar. But Natalie Portman digged the bow. And I didn’t hear a single compliment on Leanne’s mess of a dress. The hair pieces alone should have been enough to kick her off. And what’s up with the judges liking Stella’s gymnastic whore outfit. Wesley’s outfit was not the worse. Honestly, I think he got kicked off because he was too quiet and well, that doesn’t make for good television. I am officially banning Project Runway.
I FN HATE PROJECT RUNWAY
24 JulKevin Tenglin Rocks My World
22 Jul“Be polite and do your best without getting an ulcer. Watch porn and be happy. And hang out as often as you can. Don’t worry, there’s a Friday every single week.”
-Kevin Tenglin
Kevin Tenglin said this to me 8 years ago at Brandcenter, formerly known as Adcenter.
Kevin Tenglin recently had his name featured in an iPhone spot. And now people think he’s a celebrity. Read this blog. Too funny.

Jerry Tam Gets The Boot From Project Runway
17 Jul
The first contestant sent home from Project Runway this season is Jerry Tam. Jerry Tam has his own line out called Form, so I thought he would be good. But it turns out, Jerry Tam totally sucked at Project Runway’s first challenge. And it was well deserved. C’mon. Yellow dish gloves? White boots? A raincoat out of a shower curtain? And shower hooks for hooks? Seriously, there was nothing interesting about Jerry Tam’s first and only Project Runway look.
AdTech. Yes, yet another Adserving company you have to know about
16 JulAdTech. It’s new–at least in the America. It’s a German company that’s popular throughout Europe and it’s got Gannett (and its corporate parent, AOL)as its first big client. So you better pay attention. AOL currently uses AdTech to serve half of their ads and it’s only a matter of time before the rest gets served.
Now that AOL’s not so dependent on Google, what will that mean? With all these ad serving marriages like the Google-Doubleclick, Microsoft-aQuantive, and WPP-24/7 Real Media ad serving marriage, Gannett-AdTech will definitely be one to watch out for.
Japan Examining Bisphenol A Safety
15 JulAfter Canada decided to ban Bisphenol A aka BPA, Japan is now looking into this toxic chemical compound. It’ll take one year to complete their study. But who cares? It’s a step in the right direction. And perhaps, more countries will conclude that BPA and Babies just don’t mix.
Walmart and Toys "R" Us Pledge To Go BPA-Free
15 JulOn another note, because of the National Toxicology Program’s recent findings on the effects of BPA on lab animals where they proclaimed there is “some concern,” big changes are happening.
For starters, the largest retailer in the world, Wal-mart has pledged to sell only BPA-free bottles by early next year. Woohoo! And Babies “R” Us has pledged to rid its shelves of all BPA or Bisphenol A bottles by the end of the year. Hooray! Whole Foods is also pledging.
4 Ohio parents sue companies selling BPA bottles
15 JulYep, you read that right. 4 parents are suing baby bottle manufacturers. These parents are filing a suit against:
-Vandalia
-Evenflo Co
-Avent America Inc
-Handicraft Co
-Gerber Novartis
It will be interesting to see what happens.
