FIRST -- the video animation IS STILL UP ON www.motrin.com -- someone has posted online that it was taken off - NOT TRUE...animation is still up. See my previous post http://tinyurl.com/mmotrin for whole story on how I called agency and talked to a rep earlier today etc.
SECOND: the blogger who some other tweets are saying started controversy or wrote about the animation on www.motrin.com is Jessica Gottlieb here is a link to her blog http://www.tinyurl.com/5tzum3 The post that started it all (she needs credit) http://tinyurl.com/5tzum3 I just talked to Jessica via phone.
Here is the full link: http://jessicagottlieb.com/2008/11/16/blame-me-for-motrin-moms/
or you can try this link -- these shorter links tend not to work forever so that's why I put the full website above: Jessica blog
HERE ARE SOME VERY QUICK SCREENGRABS of the video at www.motrin.com.
from www.motrin.com from an animation called: Motrin Mom-alogue as posted on www.hollywood2020.net @ 2:45 p.m. PST Sunday, November 16
another screenshot from what www.motrin.com calls Motrin momalogue as posted on www.holywood2020.net reporting on the twitter storm on moms vs motrin #motrinmom @ www.twitter.com
on the right side of the Motrin.com screen it says Motrin Momalogue as posted on www.tinyurl.com/mmotrin by Joyce Schwarz blogging at www.hollywood2020.net'
here is how the video opens click on the arrow on www.motrin.com and wait for 10-15 seconds it must load first then watch Momalogue from Motrin's ad agency.
another screenshot from the now 'famous' Motrin Momalogue www.motrin.com as posted by Joyce Schwarz on www.hollywood2020.com in response to her post www.tinyurl.com/mmotrin
This is one of the final screenshots in the animation posted at www.motrin.com promoting Motrin to moms in a little video called Momalogue -- this appears to be the most controversial screen according to tweets on www.twitter.com for #twittermom One tweet complained about how zany or yes, crazy the eyes and cartoon quality appeared to denigrate moms according to her post. Amazing 2000 twitter posts in less than 24 hours. Youtube videos & a chat online tonight. Joyce Schwarz, veteran ad agency exec and consultant to agencies www.joycecom.com and via email at joyce @joyce dot com was first to contact the ad agency TAXI's rep --Taxi NYC is agency of record for Motrin see www.tinyurl.com/mmotrin

Note this blogger Joyce Schwarz also called the 1-800 number listed on Motrin -- here it is
This site is published by McNeil Consumer Healthcare, a Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc., which is solely responsible for its contents. This website is intended for visitors from the United States. Questions or comments? Call 1-800-962-5357 IT WAS A RECORDING that at first thought I was talking about Paquin (not MOTRIN) I had to correct the recording which says callback during work hours.
I also own the trademark on "Mamalogues." Seems to be confusing. You can't have a car company and call it Dadge or open a coffeeshop called Stahrbuchs.
