Getting Hacked

A real company has pretty much copied Powerthirst for their commercial. It's for a car dealership, no less. We're feeling pretty beat up by this, and will accept a variety of condolences: cards, flowers, orphangrams. You name it.

Dead-Frog.com

We were mentioned in dead-frog.com! The subject is a commercial for Brawndo Energy Drink, which borrows from the concept we used for Powerthirst. (Borrows with our permission, of course.) Satire being used to advertise for the object of that satire -- Naomi Klein is feeling pretty smug right about now.
