Never bring a knife to a gun fight, or an attorney to a PR/advertising battle. That’s the lesson in the “2009 Battle of the Toasted Sandwiches.” Here’s a quick blow-by-blow recap (see Adweek for more): Dominos issues an independent taste test comparing its oven-baked sandwiches to Subway’s.

Folks if you haven’t discovered The Clip Critics, catch up with this “best of” hosted by Michael Buckley. They’re among my favorite creators, and deserve far more subscribers than they have. I still have my own favorite… the boxer getting his leg knocked broken. Where’d that one go, anyway?

Remember The Richter Scales and their controversial “Here Comes Another Bubble?” Common- a photographer named Lane Hartwell sued, and they had to pull the video down? I was furious and held a contest for those who could do the best mosh-up of Hartwell’s photos? Courtesy of TechCrunch, here are The Richter Scales at TechCrunch’s “The…
