Durex Play Lubricant – Trainwreck – print p.o.s Australia

Spinach, Melbourne need to communicate the benefit of Durex Play lubricant in an environment that has an audience ranging from children to old prudes, so this Point of Sale poster for Durex PLay Lubricant had to have a perceived ‘G’ rating, yet not.

 

We all know what trains and tunnels symbolize, as Hitchcock once quipped that need not show sex scenes in films as he had “already shown everything” in North By Northwest when the train enters the tunnel.
This trainwreck isn’t a train entering a tunnel, obviously and that’s the clever. But I’m getting the opposite in my head, lots of logs leaving a tunnel. Oh sorry, I shouldn’t have gone there.

Huggies sees workplace full of big babies

This Huggies ad from JWT might have worked better if they’d dressed babies up in business clothes and let them toddle around to their heart’s content. As it is, it looks like someone put horse tranquilizers in accounts payable’s coffee machine. I also now have to picture an office full of thirtysomethings wearing Huggies because they’ve lost bladder and bowel control as well as equilibrium. Was this the inspiration?

Busey lends his unpleasantness to new ads

I don’t doubt Gary Busey’s gangbanger-taunting prowess for a second (especially not after seeing his shirt), so clearly he was the right choice to promote the video game Saint’s Row 2. The game, for the uninformed, promises “a much darker and more sinister story” than its predecessor, one “that leads your character down a path of betrayal, revenge and redemption against the city that has left him for dead.” Again, this sounds like something Busey would be intimately familiar with. We should base more things on his exploits.

McKinney producer starts green magazine

Footprinteco
“When he’s not directing the interactive production department at McKinney, Shawn Covely enjoys a hobby—making the world a better place.” Thus opens a press release from Havas’s McKinney in Durham, N.C., where Covely is turning his back on emerging media to pursue his true love: print. He’s launching Footprint Eco Magazine. Its mission: “to educate and entertain the public with stories on a wide range of environmental and sustainability issues.” I nodded off during that sentence and dreamed McKinney won back Audi then resigned it to cut down on carbon emissions in its visitors parking lot. If I seem to have a negative attitude, it’s because this is missive No. 999,999 this week on the greening of American business, and I haven’t been thinking straight since AdFreak banned plastic cutlery from the office. The magazine’s launch event will be held at a Whole Foods in Raleigh. It’s “printed on 100% recycled newsprint with soy-based inks.” So Whole Foods can stock issues in the snack aisle for when the $6 granola and hemp bars are sold out.
