Ypulse Essentials: Economist Pizza Boxes, Racy Snowboards, Hot Topic's Music Site

7 days left until the Ypulse Youth Marketing Mashup East! We just added a new exhibitor: The Passion Group. And heads up: Virgin Mobile will be making a very big press announcement….

I'll have a pie chart with that pie (The Economist uses pizza boxes to lure college readers) (Culture-buzz)

- Burton catching flack (for its racy snowboards at "family-friendly" ski resorts. And Tobacco Free Kids goes after Virginia Slims for making "pink" deadly.) (AOL News)

- Hot Topic (launches its own music site…hmmmmm. Plus AdAge.com, reg. required, says MTVMusic.com gets it right)

- More teens choosing Obama (this poll is from Channel One. And this one is from Gaia Online. Plus how Obama is using social networking as an integral part of his ground game. And designing democracy on Cafe Press) (Wired) (BusinessWeek)

- Comedy Central gets chatty (joining with Meebo for its election coverage while Current gets Tweety and Diggy on election night) (Mashable)

- Millennials are more timeshifters (when it comes to watching TV than Boomers. They also see less ads online.) (TV Week) (MediaWeek)

- Sarah Grimes on a new kids TV study (exploring gender)

- Where are they now? Bolt (does anyone else think it's funny that The Industry Standard, remember them?, is doing "where are they now" features)

- The Beatles join Rockband (and everyone keeps talking about how cool Little Big Planet is) (New York Times, reg. required)

- Top 10 Gen Y blogs (defining Gen Y as young professionals – thanks for the honorable mention!) (Ryan Stephens)

- Build your own trend story (with help from Gawker, making fun of the New York Times, natch)

P.S. "Footloose," "Melrose Place" and now "Fame" is being remade? Nooooo! I love the original "Fame" movie……
