Campaign: Helen Mirren rallies against old age in debut ad for L’Oréal
Helen Mirren stars in an ad for the cosmetics brand L’Oréal, which tackles the issue of women feeling invisible as they get older.
McCann London created the spot, which opens with Mirren, who is 69, getting a bit miffed when she is offered a seat at a bus stop.
The actress then begins to talk about the rejuvenating effects of L’Oréal’s Age Perfect cream, dons a leather jacket and goes out on the town.

AdWeek: Crematorium’s Weird Ad Campaign With Cute Kids Has Everyone Confused and Angry
It’s early in 2015 yet, but St. Louis Cremation has put forward a strong contender for the year’s most bizarrely tasteless ad.
“Don’t let the flower fool you,” reads the meme-style copy on a picture of a smiling young girl. “She’ll be a teenager soon.” Placed right above the body-burning company’s prominent branding, it has viewers wondering if the ad is urging parents to buy services for their own kids—because life is short, and everybody dies sooner or later.
Naturally, the crematorium’s owner says that wasn’t his intent—he only wanted to get the attention of readers.
The New York Times: Comcast-Time Warner Cable Deal Still Up in the Air a Year Later
A year after it was announced, Comcast’s audacious acquisition ofTime Warner Cable remains in limbo as Washington regulators scrutinize the deal. No surprise there. After all, the $45 billion merger would consolidate an already-concentrated industry, uniting the two largest cable operators in the United States.
But in recent weeks, the air of inevitability around the deal has dissipated. With the Federal Communications Commissionproposing stringent new rules to govern the Internet, analysts have grown more skeptical about the acquisition being approved. Investors began betting against the combination late last month, with shares of both companies falling sharply before recovering last week.
