To protest the arrest of the character Susan Lucci plays on All My Children, ABC Daytime shot a "Free Erica Kane" rally complete with a performance by boy band B5. Hence the Che Guevara-inspired poster in the post below. B5 wrote a song called "Erika Cain" (kids are down with typos, y'all) with La Lucci's siren standing in as inspiration for that "ideal girl" who ends up driving you bonkers. The ep featuring the rally will air later this month.

When we heard that a UK vehicle-branding company launched Limited Edition (seven only) Led Zeppelin Jeep Patriots "each boasting a full range of refined extras as well as stunning graphics that pay a wonderful tribute to one of the most highly regarded and documented bands" that meant just one
thing: Tagline time! Below are mine--send yours to bebenkamp@brandweek.com (or leave as blog comments so everybody can see 'em) and if I get enough for a column I'll print them later.

PS to those under age 25: "Led Zeppelin" was a rock band your grandparents used to listen to while reading the Hobbit and toking on their Bicentennial bong.
