In our regular round-up of the informative and often irreverent postings from Brand Republic's users, we give you a chance to catch-up on what the community is talking about.
In response to from parts of the Muslim community that Channel 4 is humanising suicide bombers in an upcoming drama 'Britz', Mark Griffiths wrote: "It's difficult to pass comment on something we haven't yet seen. But the shock here is hearing that it's OK for people to be dehumanised. It seems to me that if C4 is humanising people who have been dehumanised, then that's a very good thing to be doing.
"Like it or not, suicide bombers are human beings. It may well be that the reason they do what they do is that they believe themselves, or their people, to have been dehumanised in the first place. We don't really know.
"There is no excuse for what they do. We don't really understand them. But if you dehumanise people, you only build in problems for the future, such as creating more suicide bombers."
Honda won the Grand Prix at the Green Awards for its Formula 1 team's environmental initiative.
The campaign featured an image of the earth on the racing team's cars, composed of pixel-sized names of individual supporters who pledged to make a donation to an environmental charity and make green lifestyle changes.
Walter Denny, who was a star on the car, the question many have wondered -- how does F1 racing save the planet?
"As one of the lucky few who had their name on the car as it trundled round the GP circuits of the world, I have to say I never quite got the green message. All I wanted it to do was go faster and win a race so I could say I had been in some small way part of the winning team.
"I do remember a very beautiful website where I signed up -- I even gave them £20 although I have no idea where it went -- tyres, fuel, driver's salary perhaps! Judging by the award I obviously didn't pay enough attention to other things the Honda race team must have been doing.
"I don't recall any green reminders or green tips turning up in my email. Perhaps I missed the point and the drivers were actually pedalling round the circuits -- that may account for their rather dismal performance."
The Post Office's second of its campaign is starting to chaff the BR community.
Richard Hayter said: "Joan Collins, Wendy Richard and now Westlife appearing in a comic/soap type spot. Isn't this just a bigger-budget version of Daz's 'Cleaner Close'? And as for it being 'the people's post office', how come there's always more staff than customers in the branch?
JV worried about how Post Office staff are portrayed: "The key difference between this campaign and Daz's is that the latter created an entirely fictitious company of characters to act as a vehicle for the creative idea. No one got hurt.
"By contrast, if I worked for the Post Office, I'd be seriously hacked off at being portrayed as an incompetent, puerile numpty. And bearing in mind how important customer-facing staff are in a service-driven brand, I would think Mother have done a great job of shooting the internal marketing team in the foot. Bet they didn't get to sign this campaign off.''
Dan Younge said: "They're clearly spending all their cash on recruiting 'celebrities' in an effort to 'big up' the 'local' post office. Has anyone ever seen a post office where you don't queue? My missus spent an hour in the local branch trying to sort out a passport for our 1-year-old daughter. Rant over."
The community wasn't amused by the CIA's new 'Terrorist Busters' logo, based on the 1984 comedy film 'Ghostbusters'. It sports a terrorist, dressed in black and holding up an AK47 under the word 'Terrorist Busters'.
Greig Dowling : "How to Trivialize serious global problems the American way."
While David Henry McGuire said: "A good badge for a cartoon war."
And Alex Donohue intoned: "I find it grossly irresponsible that the US government is depicting a terrorist as some kind of Bertie Basset Licorice Allsorts character."
In response to Charlie Hoults's on celebrities like Bono mixing stardom and foreign policy, Bill Britt said: "The political world has slowly been going mad -- with celebs becoming politicians and politicians turning into celebrities.
"Saint Bono didn't start this mess. The path of film star turned politician began with Ronald Reagan, who had a simplistic answer for everything. But at least he was elected to office, which Bono hasn't.
"Now the flow is going the other way. Al Gore was bred into an old-time political dynasty -- the son of a US senator. After being robbed of the presidency, this wooden presidential campaigner has become an vibrant eco warrior. Now instead of making another run at the Oval Office he is hoping to change the world as a celebrity."
Beverly Thornsett agreed to a point with Paul Ashby's on bemoaning the current age of alienation, but doesn't agree that advertising is the cause of dehumasing of communications. She certainly doesn't agree that "advertising is a mendacious blight upon us all."
She wrote: "Advertising is a blight? Steady on! I have made a decent living in advertising and seen parts of the world I otherwise would never have seen. I think I have worked with decency, truth and a sense of style.
"These days what you see as ads are what the young think is going on, because they are only reflecting the moral decay all around them, from 10 years of lies from Blair, to the yobs blighting most unlit stations in the suburbs, right through to the uninterested policeman zooming by in his car."
In his , Michael Trenerry is encouraged by the marketing possibilities resulting from Google's new OpenSocial, which can be used to create applications that work on any social network.
But Chris Arnold warned that marketers shouldn't rush in: "It opens a debate about advertising on these sites. As much as we want to use theses sites on behalf of our brands I ask if we have yet discovered the right way to do so?
"Certainly doing what some PR agencies do is wrong -- creating false people who plug brands. They soon get revealed and all trust for a brand is lost.
"Social networking marketing handled badly can undo a million pound TV campaign in days when word gets around. And boy does it travel fast. We all know that there are many dinosaurs in the ad industry who still think in old school ways but with a greater need for honesty -- the public just don't believe ads anymore.
"Winning trust and loyalty may require starting with a new slate rather than trying to adapt old ideas."
