Share our message! Or possibly yours…

Oh internet, you magical place, you! There’s a social media “create your own ad” contest being held by Shell. In their own words:

Today, we want to take the Arctic Ready message offline, directly to the drivers who benefit from Shell’s performance fuels. That’s why we’re launching a new campaign (deadline this Thursday!), from which the best ads will be printed and posted in strategic locations worldwide. With your help, we at Shell can tell the world how pumped we are about Arctic energy, and take the Arctic Ready message to Arctic-enthused drivers everywhere.

It’s simple enough, you choose an arctic-themed picture, type your message, and it’s done. This being the internet, it’s being trolled like crazy, and it’s hilarious!

So far Shell is being pretty good sports about it, at least on Twitter. I hope they can maintain that attitude, it’d be a shame for all that to disappear in a flash of corporate indignity. Here’s the link!

Wishes really do come true!

I had two separate dreams where my dog was hit by a car this morning, so it’s more of a relief than usual that I woke up to find something cool.

The Digital Cuttlefish is an anonymous rhymesmith, and probably my favorite person that I know nothing about. Seriously, I know Cuttlefish teaches at a university, and I’m pretty sure lives in the eastern half of the United States, to the north. I think xe is male, but that’s little more than a guess based on universities still being mostly a boy’s club and my own biases. That’s about it.

Anyway, Cuttlefish had some time to kill and created a car sticker out of his logo, posting a picture of it with a joke that this product was clearly missing from EvolveFISH.com‘s inventory. Then this happened.

I love the internet.

Since Cuttlefish wants to be anonymous, obviously the more people who buy these and put them on their cars, the better, so here’s the link!
