Hats off to the uber-intelligent folks at 'The Economist' who have, in just two words, so eloquently captured how we are all feeling about the current state of the financial markets.
The JWTgrads are 10 times filtered - just like the Smirnoff Vodka commercial that came out of JWT last year. I have no idea if this means that JWT graduates go well with some tomato juice, worcester sauce, tabasco and a stick of celery but I'll give anything a try once.
Storåkers in Stockhom were so impressed by Improv Everywhere's fantastic Frozen Grand Central that they repeated the event, except as an ad for Telia's 'new' offering of the ability pause live TV which is like, so futuristic over here in the backwaters of Europe.
You know had I'd prefer not to post youbloodytube crap here, so much so that only a perfect imitation of Gordon Ramsey as delivered by a nine-year old kid changes my mind. It's caterer.com that has a campaign with little Gordon - and why? A caterer.com rep said to adfreak they're doing this "show new industry talent how enjoyable and attractive the sector is." Yeah, uhm, that's working.
More inside folks - Little Gordon rips a manager a new one after waiting an hour for his starter. "I ordered the chicken an hour ago, and I can only presume that you're waiting for the eggs to hatch, yes?"
This accent game is a fun little time-waster, even though to be honest - some peoples accents aren't that representative of the cities or countries that they are from. I would have done much better if there had been some Swedes, Finns, Danes and Dutch folk in here. My score - 55 points - can you beat it (without cheating? This game allows you to play again and does not randomize the people, sadly.) Watch out for that articulate brunette in the bottom row. ;) Try the accent game here.
Sarah Haskins shares another bunch of crazy ads targeting women - why is birth control sold as period control? The women in these ads are crazy. Bonus points for the scary Sims-style swimming party - that has got to be the weirdest ad I've seen this year.
All 40.000 commercials in the commercial archive are in Apple's free and fab Quicktime player format.
You should download Quicktime if you don't already have it.
Venture communications Toronto did a spot where everyone blends in, except the people wearing Athletes World - kind of like in that Chinese "Don't Ignore me" - Unicef ad campaign
Grey Melbourne scare the hell out of people by showing what can happen if you don't speak up and ask how things should be done if you're unsure. Yikes, that slicing device is scary.
Grey Melbourne scare the hell out of people by showing what can happen if you don't speak up and ask how things should be done if you're unsure. Anyone else think of the prevent-it.ca campaign with the chef that won't get married because she's about to be in a terrible accident"?
Grey Melbourne scare the hell out of people by showing what can happen if you don't speak up and ask how things should be done if you're unsure. Nailguns are not toys.
Bud Light has drinkability? Somebody was asleep during differentiation/USP class.
Good job highlighting a characteristic that Bud Light shares with almost every liquid substance on the planet.
(And no doubt a number of you smartarses are going to be filing false advertising charges on them.)
