Imaginary brands: past and future

Brainiac points out a contest of potential interest to those who follow imaginary brands. The contest is from Mark A. Raynor, author of The Amadeus Net, “a satirical novel set in the near future.” Contest is:

Alter a vintage ad — for any product — by inserting a product from a fictional future. That is to say, a product featured in a book, movie, or TV show set in the future. Post the ad online, and alert Rayner. The winner will receive a copy of “The Amadeus Net,” and will also get a walk-on part in his next novel. Deadline: April 20.

Details here and here. Entries to date here.

And if some of you are wondering, the answer is yes: Inspired by Worth1000.
