A lot of big-time consumer brands are jumping all over the viral bandwagon. From a creative standpoint, I think it’s a good thing. From a media buying standpoint, it’s exceptional. But, I’d like to make one point of clarification

You’ll need to talk to Nick Denton about A-listing. In the meantime, I can get you a rather nifty Nick Denton Trucker hat. If it doesn’t fit, I’m sure it’ll be a hot item on eBay someday.
