It’s still possible for advertising to inspire:

The biggest glass of Guinness is truly alive inside. See the commercial here. There’s probably about a million more applications of this idea for Guinness and just like I enjoy a good pint, I’m enjoying theses ads.

An incredible opportunity has presented itself and in order to make it happen I need to work my ass off. So that means the blogging will be light until I get this thing going. Details may be forthcoming. Thanks for reading and stay tuned.

This October Oliver Stone will release a film titled W about, well, George W Bush’s life. In case Mr. Stone is unaware, Bush’s term as president doesn’t even end until January 20th! You would think that when making a movie about an American president and their life you would want to include details from their entire time as president in such a film. Apparently not. I wish this was fake, but it appears all too real, here’s a trailer for the film.

I feel like the whole “Pimp my…” thing is a bit played out. But something about this made me laugh. (From Clemenger BBDO, Austrailia)

And from www.pimpmykettle.com, the ridiculousness continues:

It’s just one great idea after another for Denver water over at Sukle. Their latest is the shirt pictured below that reminds you that every drop counts. You can get one free (if you get your water from Denver water at useonlywhatyouneed.org) See even more great ads from this campaign over at Sukle’s blog: Lunchmeat Underpants

Check out my latest post over at Kodak’s 1000 Words Blog, it’s about frickin’ laser beams and how to make sweet photos (like this one) with them.

Viewers of KVVU’s morning show in Las Vegas have been seeing McDonalds iced coffees on the anchors desk lately. It’s part of a deal that Karsh / Hagan worked out, and it’ll be interesting to see what sort of results it gets. According to the NYT article, the achors rarely interact with the cups. If there was a negative story abot McDonalds the editor said he would pull the cups, but what about just plain negative stories?

“Five people were shot today. In other news, this new iced coffee is delicious!”

There are no plans to expand the product placement to regular newscasts, but if this works I can only imagine we’ll see more stations begin pushing the boundaries between facts and ads.

Do you think this will work?

Today’s my birthday and here’s a picture of one of my presents: a piece by local artist Seth Hunter. It’s tar-paper on a giant wood frame, as you can see by the size of it in relation to the door. My favorite part about it is that it’s true-everything would be a mess if it were only up to me.

First person to correctly guess how old I am in the comments wins… well, I don’t have anything cool to give away. But take a guess anyways.

I’m not even sure if you could call this a billboard. But I guess that’s the point-this is something completely different to attract your attention. The egg cracks open during breakfast hours and closes again at 10:30am when the burgers hit the grill. One thing is clear, seven words and a rectangle won’t cut it anymore.
