- Artie Lange's promoting his upcoming movie with a NSFW pinball game which is actually kinda fun.

- Just as marketers are beginning to spread their seed all over MySpace, Thought of A Technocrat analyzes MySpace Bulletins and reminds us it can be a very seedy place indeed.

- HBO is promoting the last season of Deadwood with an online virtual poker saloon and game called Dead Man's Hand.

AdJab calls to our attention the stupidity of some of the latest work from Mike's Hard Lemonade which involves a guy holding a bottle in front of the camera and making it talk. With the word "hard" in the name, there's far better things they could have done than this.

- Once again, IKEA has taken its retail locations directly to people, this time dressing up trains as if they were one's living room.

In a newsflash of epic proportion, Copyranter reports online dating site True has placed an ad on the Internet that, stunningly, does not show a woman wearing a bikini.

cheers.
