Sorry, I know it's been a little advertising intense today. But I'm geeking out a little.
Intel has maybe the best campaign out there. Few brands go out of there way to show they 'get' their consumers.
Congrats to Venebles Bell (I know it's an old campaign, but they just released some new work)

Stupid never rests.
3 Tennessee freshmen football players were arrested yesterday for armed robbery. To be that stupid is one thing. To be that stupid in season is entirely different.
Maybe if a booster had them in the back pocket this never would have happened.

Pure evil genius.
But they're downfall might be what makes them successful. This is the only place where decent creatives might be willing to work for free because of their connection to Crispin Porter.
Their first project (creating their logo) had 1,118 entries. And after browsing them, quite a few were awesome. 5 people got paid. So 1,113 entries went unpaid (most designers entered more than once I imagine). One person got a measly $100. And the winner got $1,000 still probably less than they would have been paid in a regular gig.
So the question is, how long will people be willing to work like this? If you work on five projects and never see a dime, or very little money, will you work on a sixth? Especially against such stiff competition. Eventually, and I think soon, the numbers and quality will diminish.
I imagine there will always be ad school and design students who figure they're not getting paid anyways, but how long can you survive on student labor?
Good luck guys, but I have a hard time seeing how this can survive for the long - haul.
