Have you seen Hugo Lindgren in those New York Times Magazine commercials on TaxiTV? We saw a really charming one a few weeks ago, advertising "The Money Issue." The sound was off, but it looked like Mr. Lindgren was selling an Emmy statuette to a sketchy-looking guy outside The New York Times building on 8th Avenue. (It makes more sense in the full video!) Anyway, judging from the Times Mag's Twitter, the next spot will involve fluffy bunnies. [@NYTmag]
