When every second counts, you can’t lose any time. With racecars speeding at 200-mph around a track, a pit stop can make or break a driver’s chance to win. That’s why Kyle Busch and M&M’S® Brand Chocolate Candies have Rowdy’s Pit Crew, an elite team who work mechanical miracles. If they can change four tires in 12 seconds, what can you do?
Red and the #18 Pit Crew presents The M&M’S® Racing 12 Seconds Cup. It’s a series of mini-competitions that only you have the talent to compete in. Stay tuned each week for a new chance to play.

Five years ago today, a bunch of youngsters at two companies called The Barbarian Group and Crispin, Porter + Bogusky launched a small minisite three days in advance of the late night running of some broadcast spots. They wanted to iron out any last minute wrinkles in the site by emailing it around to a few more friends, and get a little early buzz before the spots ran.

Apparently they’ve been working on this for 7 years, and they have a raft of major publishers on board: EA, Ubisoft, Take-Two, Atari, THQ, and so on.
Great article published by Gamedaily on a not extreme high quality performing movie. Nevertheless very watchable according to reviews.
The new form of advertising is a so-called viral one including friendfeed, facebook, youtube and twitter. Skittles did it last week, Watchmen does it since Januay 2009 already.
Gamedaily: The original Watchmen is a comic strip of rare detail and even rarer acclaim. While the Watchmen movie isn’t likely to receive the accolades that its graphic novel counterpart has received and richly deserved for the past two decades, it certainly has been composed with a high degree of reverence for its source material.
