In an Absolut world… lemons and pears get steamy?


TBWA\Chiat\Day, New York bring us more fresh Absolut work. Fresh and fruity. What does this look like to you? Is that the idea? Is it streams as in streamlined or streams of steam as in steamy? Why do I even bother trying to figure this out? I need a stiff drink that does not taste like clam juice right now, thanks bartender.

Ooops Fake Rolex/ Dirty Housewife/ Bank of Tanzania (Poster) Belgium

Here’s what is labelled an “outdoor campaign” by Duval Guillaume Brussels, I emailed and asked them where this ran because when I first saw the ads I misinterpreted them a little. I even went to Ooops.be to try and get wiser but there’s nothing much on that site to be honest (except a great long list of ad agency clients under references, so I guess this means we need to pass ooops’ spamfilter if we want to contact ad geeks in Belgium!) I blame my misunderstanding on my severe geek streak though, see inside.

The posse at Trial DDB in Dallas did this ad for TRUTH, an anti tobacco group. “Remove one” it says. Your choice, which one? Hmm?

Petra Nemcova advertises Rampage jeans, but forgot her top.


Definitions of rampage

  • violently angry and destructive behavior
  • act violently, recklessly, or destructively
  • What the advertiser hopes men will go on as they raid stores for their own pair of Rampage jeans, after seeing Sports Illustrated model Petra Nemcova topless wearing nothing but said skin tight Rampage jeans and heels.

    I dunno, I’m guessing that’s the plan anyway.

    Breast Cancer Awareness, you get it from everything , Malaysia


    Breast Cancer Awareness and Saatchi& Saatchi, Malaysia would like to remind us all that you get cancer from pretty much every-dang-thing, ever. Or not.
    As scary as this is to read, it won’t get me into one of those breast crushing machines. Ever notice that whenever they speak about Breast Cancer on the news they always show some middle-aged woman getting her mammaries crushed in that thing?* You don’t see the news showing the doctor snap on a plastic glove and say “now this won’t hurt a bit” or the actual embarrasing examination when they talk about prostate cancer. No fair.
