RIM jobs in jeopardy #FdAdFriday

Years ago, I recall my friend Casey showing me the short-lived "rim.jobs" recruitment site URL that Research In Motion put up. 

This awkwardness happens all the time in technology and Canadian media. I guess some people just aren't up on their kinky sex terminology.

Now that Rick Santorum is out of the race, it's nice to see some new political headline awkwardness.

Awkward Headline of the Day #1 #FdAdFriday

Newser has already edited in on their site, but fortunately Facebook has a longer memory.

F'd Ad Fridays: "At Last Singer Etta James Dies at 73"

Casey also sent me a link to this apparent (and very sad) headline fail:

If it's real, it has since been changed.

But this hasn't:

Rest in peace, Ms. James

F'd Ad Fridays: Get your free dissident Chinese artist here!

Seriously, though, you can join Amnesty's campaign in support of Ai Weiwei here.

Thanks to Sleeveface's Carl Morris for sharing.

This image really wants to be a condom ad

This isn't an ad for contraceptives, as far as I know.  But it probably should be.

What did I miss?

I just got back from 2 weeks' vacation, and there seems to be a backlog of epic waiting for me. What did I miss?

Well, for one thing, the Old Spice Guy is now King of the Internet:









Reuters lit up the viralsphere with what can either be seen as the most childish, or most naive headline of all time:



Another viral sensation (and obvious recreational drug fan) Hungrybear9562, got autotuned:





And, on a more serious note, Minneapolis activist Stacey Burns wrote in to update me on the USI "Fast, Cheap, and Satisfaction Guaranteed" saga:

"The saga lurches forward: although USI pulled the billboards as promised, copies of the ad appeared in men's restrooms throughout Minneapolis in June. In response, as if to thumb his nose at the activism that provoked the billboards' removal--and to demonstrate his commitment to the failed campaign--USI Wireless' President, Joe Caldwell, appears in at least one version of the ad, pictured here at Park Avenue and 9th Street in downtown Minneapolis.



I'm hoping to persuade USI to make a meaningful contribution to the Women's Foundation of Minnesota or another organization that works to promote the safety and well-being of sex workers and to increase housing and educational opportunities for young people."

Change Marketing will return to daily blogging next Monday. Sorry for not announcing the hiatus in advance, but I didn't want to turn up on Please Rob Me...
