That Sam Mendes ad for the new iPhone is pretty good, but this Louis Vuitton campaign featuring Zinédine Zidane takes the cake. The photography is distinctly Annie Leibovitz’s and the website is excellent.

Can you still watch football?
Much has been made recently about the link between NFL careers and brain damage. The New York Times has run an excellent series on the subject and Malcolm Gladwell just penned an essay equating football with dog fighting in the New Yorker. I expect that he’ll rehash much of its content for his New Yorker Festival talk today. The main point is that now that we know something about the risks to the brain of playing football, watching the game should not be a morally neutral act, just as watching dog fighting should not be one either.
