The caskets run anywhere from $895 to $3,199, but for the moderate price of $1,699, for instance, you can get the Executive Privilege casket for your business-class loved one.

Dave Muhlenfeld, the Martin Agency copywriter behind the FreeCreditReport songs and this catchy Coke/Walmart ad from last year , is at it again with an ad for Walmart celebrating the little things in life. What things? Like the way an e-mail can make you want to talk, or the way a little kid can make the world seem big. That kind of stuff. For Walmart, whose current tagline is "Save money, live better," the message is spot on, but then again, it is the holiday season, so maybe not....

Where was I going to go, Wal-Mart? That was a 20-minute...
