Doesn't defeat the point of the original story... In my opinion, the kids weren't compensated fairly. The fact that they will be better off does not change the fact that they were exploited. I can point to that photo of the movie star…

Slumdog kid actors get ripped off by Hollywood

I guess this should not come as a surprise, but the child actors in Slumdog Millionaire were paid $2,454 (Azhar) and $722 (Rubina). Granted, the budget for the movie was only $15 million, but it made $120 million. They couldn't kick a little bit more to those kids?! They live in a tent in the slums! I sincerely hope people raise a stink and Fox Searchlight chooses to do a little more to help these kids. Read the SF Chronicle story here. http://tinyurl.com/apy5zy

Axe Effect Scientifically proven?

Okay, I admit it. I have a love/hate relationship with Axe (Unilever). On the one hand, Axe ads make me feel icky. Most of them are tasteless and sexist. I am not so humorless that I don't emit an occasional chuckle, but I delude myself into thinking that we live in a world with a bit more sophistication. As a marketer, however, I have to… Continue

"Matthew" is actually just the English version of Matthys... :-) My company is 3 years old but I've been freelancing and building up a client portfolio for 10 years now. I used to be at Publicis Advertising before that. My company has 16 employees at present and we are a very creative bunch and an asset to any client using us! All our work is done over email and ftp. Cheers Matthys

But I decided to sell Coke back to Coke. Do you love Coke? Then Coke belongs to you too. You own it. So get paid already! Sell Coke back to Coke like I did. What are you waiting for? Would you rather have a Coke, or $784,642.86 in cash? (Watch this Carlos video for all the details. Tell all your Coke lovin friends. GET PAID. NOW!) http://www.adgabber.com/video/brand-ownership
