Wherein I scan the Monday morning headlines so you don't have to:
From Advertising Age:
—The digital special issue (although these days isn't every issue about digital?).
—Rethinking whether Web advertising should even exist. Not to rain on your St. Patrick's Day parade or anything.
—What Google's stock drop means in the larger world, if anything.
—General Motors will spend half its budget in digital within three years.
—Could it be that the four major ad holding companies are ahead when it comes to digital spending? Strange, but true.
—Unilever tops the Digital A-List. Here are others on the A-List.
—Can someone define AOL for us please?
From Adweek:
—What happens when consumers continue the campaign long after the marketer might have planned on abandoning it.
—Pepsi will launch its own series this summer.

From Mediapost:
—Shamrocks, chocolate easter bunnies ... what's a purveyor of schlocky, holiday-related merchandise to do?
—Madonna still associating with horrible Sunsilk advertising. Is it too late to take back her Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame induction?

From The New York Times:
