If there's one thing Snoop Dogg can't stand, it's cybercrime. That's why he's taken a noble stand and teamed up with Norton to put a stop to the mayhem.
Snoop wants to expand people's awareness about this cyber-problem. That's why he's asking people to create and upload 2-minute-or-less anti-cybercrime rap videos to HackIsWack.com or at facebook.com/Norton.
A panel of Norton representatives along with Snoop’s management will judge videos based on originality, creativity and how well they convey the anti-cybercrime message.
Then, the winner gets two tickets to see a Snoop concert, the opportunity to meet with Snoop's management or agent (but not with Snoop), a $1,000 travel stipend in the form of airline vouchers, hotel accommodations for two days and one night and a Toshiba laptop.
Oh...also by the way...if you want to, while you're there you can download the new Norton 360 Version 4.0 with a $10 discount. But whatever, that's not what this is about, this is about anti-cybercrime awareness rap.
Take a look at the first ever TV spot for medical marijuana. Created for Sacramento-based distributor "CannaCare," it aired in CA this week.
What do you think? Notice they don't really mention the word "marijuana." Does that keep the conversation on the issues that the substance treats? Or does it dodge the overall arguement? It definitely looks and feels like a low-budget PSA, but it's not bad for such a loaded issue.
Victor & Spoils has TWO new open brief "Squirrel Fights." One for Dish Network and one for Harley-Davidson.
As you may know, earlier this week Harley walked away from Carmichael Lynch after 31 years. That's 31 years. Wow. Yesterday, John Winsor, CEO Victor &Spoils, wrote an open letter to Harley. In it he explains the concept of crowdsourcing and announces that V&S is gonna "pitch." Wicked smart.
Check it Boston creatives. Get smart, get at them, get money.

Introducing Ping, a new social networking thingy from Apple that's music focused and runs through iTunes. Basically, you can follow your favorite artists to know everything that's going on and you can also discover new music by following your friends and seeing what they're listening to as well.
Right now, we'll probably say, "Sheesh! ANOTHER networking site? No thanks!"
But in a few days we'll probably say, "OMG! Ping is the greatest thing ever!!!"
