Sony’s House Design of the Future

There are a lot of things left unanswered as far as our future is concerned and a lot of it has to do with where we will find ourselves in the course of time. One thing we have to note is that global warming and eco-friendly issues will be beside us all the way and with that in mind, we cannot help but think what companies such as Sony will have for us by that time.

Sony can help us get a glimpse of things to come and they are showing this to us with this video that gives us highlights of the future. Take a look at this video so that you will have an idea on whether to look forward to the future or simply keep on wondering what we have in a couple of years ahead of us.

A cup of coffee and a neck brace, stat!

Mcdonaldsworker
We know McDonald’s has coffee to sell, but this construction worker in an AlmaDDB-made ad needs a chiropractor, not a barista. That giant key in his neck is giving him noticeable posture problems, to say nothing of what it did to his legs. This salesman and this mechanic have been similarly afflicted, though not as severely. McDonald’s could be looking at a lawsuit if they don’t respond quickly. And we’ve seen those go bad before. Via Ads of the World.

Red Cross winning battle over red cross

Redcross
In one of the least surprising court decisions of all time, a federal judge has ruled against Johnson & Johnson in its ill-conceived legal battle with the American Red Cross. J&J sued last year over the use of the red cross symbol on items like licensed health merchandise. Some claims and counterclaims remain to be settled, but J&J’s losing pretty badly and looks increasingly crass each time this story slips back into the headlines. It’s like they’re paying their lawyers to tarnish their image. Whatever. As for my personal trademark-infringement suit against the other Davids here at AdFreak, I’m please to announce that a settlement has been reached. I’ve agreed to drop the complaint in return for their shares in Firebrand. When that baby goes public, I’m on easy street! Suckers.
