Ku Klux Klan & Makes Nice With The Black Man

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

becksheader When I saw this ad for the first time thought of Samual L. Jackson and his famous line from the movie “Pulp Fiction”… “Oh I’m sorry did I break your concentration?” What a kick ass ad campaign for this product, “Becks Modeling Clay”. Talk about getting the attention of the public to sell your product! The concept and execution of this campaign deserves an award! I’d like to send a shout out to Scholz & Friends Hamburg the ad agency that put this all together.

How Facebook Stole My Life, And Got Away With It.

Do you find yourself glued to the computer monitor tirelessly monitoring the mundane nerosis of  people you haven’t seen since kindergarten class? Have you done the 25 things you didn’t know about me survey? Have you woken up in the morning and before you brushed your teeth and rushed to see what messages you have on Facebook? If you answered yes to any of these questions your not alone… but you need help. If you answered yes to all three of these questions burn your computer go to the library and actually face a book.

LOL, in all seriousness this video pretty much sums up the good ol Facebook. There is no mistaking the growth of this social monster, its out of control! Like Peter Parkers gramps said, with great power comes great responsibility! So all you 120 wpm, (fill in the blank’s) keep things in perspective or you might find yourself like this guy, alone staring at a monitor and talking to yourself.

No Animal Testing! Noah Menschen für Tiere e.V.

Advertising agency Jung von Matt/Elbe from Hamburg, Germany recently put together this ad campaign for Noah Menschen für Tiere e.V.. This is one of the most creative public service announcements I’ve seen in  a while. The imagery definitely gets your attention and out of that attention hopefully arises awareness. I personally never seen animal testing imagery before, its almost as if its a don’t ask, don’t tell policy. Its nice to see an organization making efforts to raise awareness.

Nike comes through once again with a BIG budget and hires one of  the best ad agencies in the world, AKQA of San Francisco. The commercial is 30 seconds of pure eye candy and the soundtrack is awesome. I’m not sure but I think its RATATAT who made the song.

Advertising agency Strategies of  Cairo, Egypt recently put together a new ad campaign for international grocer Carrefour. The campaign is ingenious and uber creative, its one of those ideas where you’re like damn… why didn’t I think of that! Before seeing this ad I hadn’t heard of Carrefour so I went and checked out their website and it looks like they’re a blobal company and growing fast. My first thought was they are the Walmart of food!

Meltin’Pot – Sex, Blue Jeans & Aliens

When it comes to crafting jeans that fit your arse like nobody’s business, its nobody’s business except the Italians! Don’t get me wrong there are manufactures around the world that make some kick ass jeans but no other country can stitch a more consistent configuration of mix cotton blends to make an ass look so good.

Advertising agency Armando Testa from Turin, Italy was hired by Meltin’Pot to create a new ad campaign for their latest leg hugging, ass shaping jeans. The campaign is pretty good although if you’ve never heard of the brand Meltin’Pot you might not know what exactly the ads are for especially if you just saw only one ad.

In any case the artwork for the ads is bright, vibrant and has a surreal feel. You’ll definitely want to click on the thumbnails below to get a closer look.
