Friskies is taking aim at the national "CATastrosphe" known as Cat Boredom, or CB. "There's nothing more tragic than a blasé cat," Chris Parnell explains in the video below. So true. Luckily, Friskies has a plan. It's so simple—how did no one think of it before? Thanks to AFG& (formerly Avrett Free Ginsberg) for this important addition to the Internet's somewhat sizable collection of cat videos.

For those who have been following the two-year saga of Cornelius Trunchpole—the reputed 1960s adman who is now making a reputed comeback, reputedly—here's the finished film about him. Art & Corny, clocking in at about 16 minutes, is worth it for the musings of industry figures like Jeff Goodby, Lee Clow, Steve Hayden, Gerry Graf, Barbara Lippert and Michael Wolff. Just don't expect a whole lot of insight from Trunchpole himself. He prefers it that way.
