Great subtle advertisement for a meditation center.

This is a pretty fun Holiday Inn Express ad, cultural appropriation issues aside temporarily. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-PzDk_brV0]
Yea, yea, I know. You're thinking, "If I wanted to see a fucking commercial I would have turned on my TV." As compensation I offer you this kid's encounter with lobsters:

The cynic in me is suspicious that this is a viral effort from Red Lobster.
Funny snarky commercial from Tide. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju4jAfg4p8s]

Gas prices are still wallet emptying high, the housing market is crashing, Wall Street is imploding, and in such a climate what is Chrysler going to do? Roll out with a massive advertising campaign that is centered around a web-based reality show promoting their updated Dodge Ram pick-up truck.
The promotion of the truck centers on a Web site, RamChallenge.com. The Challenge is an obstacle-course driving competition with four pairs of competitors, which Ms. Meyer said mirrored typical Ram drivers: cowboys, military men, firefighters and contractors.
While I actually applaud Chrysler's strategy of circling their wagons around one of their marquee core products, I'm skeptical about this reality show advertising concept. This is exactly the sort of stuff that companies such as Chrysler should avoid, because it comes across as trying to repackage what is essentially a lengthy commercial into something that it is not, or in other words putting lipstick on a pig, to use the parlance du jour. And this RamChallenge.com represents the worst of this: a Frankenstein shoe-horning of a hot TV format (reality shows) mashed onto a web platform, and then "ramming" it down the throat of consumers.
24 flashers were distributed among the busy streets of Sydney and Melbourne during the winter to remind those residents that they could escape the chilly weather by visiting the sunny beaches of Queensland.
Note the guy in the khaki jacket in the background doing the ol' classic look back.
As summer is rapidly coming to a close here in New York I would prefer these uh, fleshy sort of vacation destination reminders, instead of those annoying subway advertisements from every single island south of Florida. I'm just sayin'.

I passed by this street billboard today that was made from turf and advertising Monday Night Football on ESPN. It actually made me pause to take a closer look and snap a photograph of it. Nicely done, NFL.
I wonder how long before someone splashes some paint on it.

This Nike commercial is like the We Didn't Start the Fire of sportswear commercials, that is speciously connected events, moments and people are creatively edited and set to music as though this will unify everything. But it totally doesn't. Instead it reminds me that my eye can process images really quickly and I may have ADD. It's still a super cool commercial though.

My "FAKE" warning is going off, but either way this is a brilliant BMW print ad for its used car division. Talk about managing your brand!
