Pets Are Exciting Multi-use Tools in These Fantastic Infomercials for an Animal Shelter

Cats aren’t just great alarm clocks. They’re also excellent sleeping masks.

Two gag infomercials for the Animal Foundation animal shelter in Las Vegas (created by agency R&R Partners) hawk exciting new multi-purpose products for your home—”Pet Cat” and “Pet Dog.”

Dogs are surprisingly efficient vacuum cleaners and capable concierges. What else can they do? “The list goes on and on,” the voiceover assures you—and you should pause it while it’s scrolling by, because most of the options are great (even if maybe one too many is about warming some body part … as accurate as that may be).

The writing is sharp and funny, the acting perfectly overdone, and the voiceover as cheesy as possible—dead-on parody. Each pet even comes with a free accessory—for the dog, a leash, aka an instant gym attachment, and for the cat, a paper bag (it’s better than having a TV).

So hurry up and don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity. Litter box and Nature’s Miracle not included.

Las Vegas Celebrates Gay Marriage in Nevada With a Fabulous Full-Page Newspaper Ad

Already known as the wedding capital of the world, Las Vegas is about to host a lot more weddings. And Las Vegas tourism couldn’t be happier.

After Nevada legalized gay marriage last week, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and agency R&R Partners—creators of the famed “What happens here, stays here” campaign—quickly rolled out a full-page ad in USA Today celebrating the momentous occasion.

“This is an historic day for Las Vegas and the great state of Nevada,” the LVCVA said in a statement. “As the ‘Wedding Capital of the World’ and one of the top destinations for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender visitors, Las Vegas welcomes LGBT couples wishing to legally recognize their relationship. There is simply no better destination to host a fabulous wedding followed by a one-of-a-kind honeymoon.”

The ad points to a new microsite, lasvegas.com/gaytravel.
