¡SLENSKE! on ad placement and brand affiliation

File this under out-of-touch brands desperately trying to market themselves to that oh-so-covetable MePa-frequenting douchebag demo. In a stroke of branding genius the hair care wizards at American Crew (you know, they made the pomade you wore in junior high before realizing pomade was relegated to the Jersey Shore crowd) decided to paint over one of Conor Harrington’s brilliant murals, which has stood unscathed on the corner of 13th and Washington — in fact one company went so far as to paint their ad on a sheet of removable particle board so as not to harm it — since 2008′s Outsiders show. The only redeeming factor? The brain trust at Crew positioned their ad to look like Harrington’s Revolutionary soldier is taking aim at their idiotic slogan. And to answer their question: no, Manhattan doesn’t cause hair loss, lame-ass brands who mindlessly ruin great pieces of street art do. —Michael Slenske

From Rachel Wolak:
“I made a recent trip back to SF. I was awake for 4 days and I gave a homeless dude a shower. Typical visit you would think, but this time it was for the 48hr YouTube Cannes Young Lions.”

From Kenzo Digital:
Whether you are for health care reform or not, one thing remains clear: the American public simply does not know enough about the legislation. As concerned citizens, our goal is simple, to raise awareness and create a dialogue. As the debate on health care reform continues to evolve, we feel that it is more important than ever to be aware of the issues and facts at hand. We are not taking a particular stance on health care reform. Rather we seek to inspire debate using satire and absurdity to re-frame the ongoing health care discussion. The following is a spoof movie trailer that explores the outlandish nature of the ongoing myth that illegal immigrants will receive free health care.
