Samsung faz product placement do Galaxy S III na cerimônia de abertura das Olimpíadas 2012

Já estamos acostumados – e se for bem feito até gostamos – com product placemente em filmes, séries de TV, games e afins. Porém, eu não lembro de ter visto algo do tipo em cerimônias de abertura e encerramento de grandes eventos esportivos.

A Samsung, aproveitando seu patrocínio dos Jogos Olímpicos de Londres 2012, colocou seu novo Galaxy S III dentro da festa de abertura na última sexta-feira.

O smartphone esteve amplamente presente durante todo um segmento sobre tecnologia e a velocidade da informação nos dias de hoje.

No vídeo abaixo, Martin Green, chefe da cerimônia de abertura, comenta a iniciativa. É só uma pena que, com todo o acesso da Samsung aos bastidores, a marca não tenha produzido um conteúdo mais interessante de making of.

Porn Star Sunny Leone Says Too Much Sex is Bad

sunny-leone-peta-ad.jpeg

PETA, as only PETA can, has enlisted yet another sexpot to hype one of its causes. This time, it’s all about sex. Well, actually, it’s all about not having sex. And this no sex message comes to us from someone who has made a career out of having sex, porn star Sunny Leone.

The print ad, which carries the headline, “Too Much Sex Can be a Bad Thing,” encourages people to sterilize their dogs and cats. A porn star saying too much sex is a bad thing. Hmm. Only in advertising.

Of her participation in the campaign, Leone said, “I believe in not buying – and adopting. And it’s because there’s so many dogs out there that need a home, that were left on the streets. They just need that love, and if you can rescue an animal, then that’s one of the greatest gifts you can give. I believe that every single dog should be spayed and neutered. You don’t want to continue the cycle of homeless dogs or cats. And spaying and neutering also keeps them healthy. It prevents them from having different diseases that they can get if they are not.”


Londres 2012: A incrível estrutura da pira olímpica

A cerimônia de abertura das Olimpíadas de Londres 2012 impressionou o mundo, em uma produção incrível do Danny Boyle. Porém, tem um “detalhe” ainda mais importante: o acendimento da pira olímpica mais legal de todos os tempos.

204 pétalas de latão – cada uma representando um país participantes dos Jogos – foram acesas e se levantam formando uma espécie de flor de fogo ao som de “Eclipse” do Pink Floyd.

A criação da estrutura foi responsabilidade do Heatherwick Studio de Londres, especializado em arquitetura, escultura e projetos urbanos extraordinários.

Uma ideia original, engenhosa e que pegou todo mundo de surpresa na última sexta-feira.

Nationwide is on Danica Patrick’s Side

nationwide_danica_patrick.jpg

In a new GoDaddy…uh…Nationwide Insurance ad, GoDaddy…uh…Nationwide Insurance spokesperson Danica Patrick touts the brand’s current mantra; that it doesn’t have shareholders so it’s puts its members first. She also touts the brand’s long-running Vanishing Deductible which, according to this commercial, results in something much better than a $0 deductible: Danica Patrick’s phone number.

Courtesy of rabble rouser Dale Earnhardt, Patrick’s number is revealed so those who have lusted after her for years in GoDaddy commercials can harass her. Of course, if the lustful actually call her, they will be disappointed. The number is not Danica’s cell number but it does lead to a message from her asking for suggestions on how she can return the prank to Earnhardt in a future ad. ANd if Danica likes your suggestions, she just might call you back. Fan boys can only hope.
