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?

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.

23/6 has taken the best campaign gaffes and made a club remix of them. It’s funny, and their embed code won’t copy for me, so go watch it here. C’mon, you needed a break anyway.
Jai & Wal are taking some heat for this campaign they posted over on Creative in London. I like it, but that’s not what matters, what do you think? Chime in with the poll below then check out the rest of the campaign and leave your thoughts in the comments.
Radiohead decided to shoot their new video without cameras. They used a new technology that maps 3D images using lasers. This is what it looks like:

I have no idea what the hell I’m talking about with lasers and such, but these guys do in the behind the scenes footage:

To promote his new album Bob Dylan has a site up that lets you personalize his classic “Subterranean Homesick Blues” card flipping intro. Check out the site here and send something totally inappropriate to everyone you know (click on “Dylan Messaging” at the bottom).

This is from the BMW museum in Munich. These 714 steel balls take the shape of BMW cars and sort of fly through the air. It’s sort of mesmerizing. (via Changethethought)
