Wow has it been a while? Sorry, I have been working on another work related blog....
But what should I kick this ever-so-late blog post off with? How about a little Seinfeld and Gates. Yeah, I know, this commercial makes absolutely no sense. But, maybe it does? I mean, with all the crap going on with Vista, Microsoft wanted to get their name out their with no mention of it. This commercial does that, and gives Microsoft a new fresh appeal, with some Gate's booty shaking. Who doesn't ... Read Full Story
They say sex sells. Brief nudity and sweaty bodies in commercials will help sell anything. Well, you make that call after watching this ad for the Automotive Association of Norway. Read Full Story
I was out of the office when it went down. But, it is true, the Red Sox's Manny Rimerez was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers. This doesn't really effect me (besides the fact one of the partners is an insane Boston fan... I say that in the most loving way) but I loved what Ground Zero' guerilla campaign following the news. If you happened to be doing your laundry in Los Angeles County, when opening your washer you would find a red sock. What did this sock say, "Lose a sock... Read Full Story
I don't know if you have ever visted Radaronline, but it is a online magazine, giving you pop and politics updates and articles. Let's just say there is a lot of celebrity gossip/ bashing. Their agency Walrus NYC has created some pretty funny ads for Radar. Basically they sum up any stereotype of why celebrities make news... for example: DUIs.

I have a serious problem with the new JCPenney commercial. It is a back to school commercial with teens that are acting out scenes from The Breakfast Club. Ummmm, that movie came out in 1985. Does the agency who made this commercial know who they are targeting? These kids in the commercial weren't born for another 5 years after The Breakfast Club. I guess I am missing the point. But, every time I see this ad, I always think, "Do they really think the demo they are targeting will unde... Read Full Story

Looks like the grass is greener at Wimbeldon this year. Artists Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey created these pieces of art using, well, grass. They took photographs of, Tara Moore who competed in the tournament, Eddie Seaward, a 15 year veteran groundsman at Wimbledon, and Coach Lizzie May is part of the Wimbledon Junior Tennis Initiative and began their three week creation.
"Back in the studio the artists develop the photos in a very similar way to printing in a darkroom. Large panels ... Read Full Story
If you don't have Showtime there is a great show you are missing, Dexter. Actually the PG version is shown on CBS, but it does not do the series justice. What is also so great about Dexter, is the amazing viral campaign created to promote season 2. None other than the UK's Ralph has done so.
Want to be the Bay Harbor Butcher? Well now you can, and you can put your friends on your hit list. Just check out The Dexter Hit List. AdFreak

How many 25 year old ladies enjoy some popcorn and a night of Star Wars? Not many. But I am one of them. No, I do not have a unibrow and I am not one of these people!
So how delightfully happy am I to know that Spike TV is going to be playing Star Wars? Well, pretty happy. I have to say, I love those Ewoks, especially The Ewok Adventure which would not have been created if it weren't for Star Wars!
Spike TV has created some humourous ads to promote Star Wars on their network. Bel... Read Full Story
