Monday Round Up: Hey, Best Jobs Yo

Today is probably the first day I've ever wished to be working government style and having the day off. Man the post three-day weekend Monday is pretty much the worst invention, ever. I give you, therefore, some links to make the soul feel good, or not:

*The fact that I can say this - my moonlighting gig from this blog is as a copywriter, just came in at #25 in the 'Best Jobs in America' at Money magazine. But really the stress level is only a C? What agency is that at? 1. How are bottom feeding PR people in at #20? 2. Ad Managers, aka Media Buying folks, are #11. 3. Tech writers are #13? Come on. Discuss. (Via AdFreak)

*I debated this briefly today, but the new VW Jetta ads - taking off on ICBC's own scary drunk driving warning ads - are interesting. Not sure about the "Safe Happens" but they look good and are well written. Damn you Crispin Porter! Damn you to hell!

*Ad of the day. Part I: New Coke ad from Jack White. Catchy tune. Odd ad. Great Afro. Cute Red head. But watch out Coke, Jolt is coming back and the target is Red Bull.

*Ad of the day. Part II: I was settled on the Jack White Coke thing, until this insane, retro crazy, ad for Lambretta scooters came dancing into my head. Watch it. Love it. Live it. Addictive advertising.

*Ads of the day. Runner ups: This smug Land Rover ad is fairly cool, in a "it's Santori time" kind of a way. Graham, my faithful music guru pointed out the 2nd Adidas adicolor ad ("Pink") today. Graham has the dish on the ads music too, including MP3's - nicely done!

*Kevin Smith is having way, way, way, too much fun on Clerks II. This crazy You Tube video goes on forever and does a sweet tribute to the site with a "trainwreck" short that includes homage to another clip made for Pixies lovers. PS - yes, we still love Rosario Dawson. PPS - Here's a thought, why aren't film people on the list of best jobs? I know why, but... (Screenhead rules)

*Moving right along... A. George W. Bush meets Kevin Federline, Popozow. B. The background extras of Lost. What up. C. Worst Magazine, ever? Jossip has details. Cargo is alreay shutdown, guess again. D. Definetly want to catch American Dreamz this weekend - it's just too insane to miss. I don't care how bad the reviews get. Well...
