Inside That Ad Now on YouTube
Introducing this blog on my YouTube channel. You can visit my YouTube channel at BocciaMan25 Best,A.B.
Paris Hilton Objectifies Women, No
The beer spot above was banned in Brazil for objectifying women too much. Now, please keep in mind that this Devassa Beer commercial features Paris Hilton. My question to these Brazilian regulators is “What did you expect,” it features Paris Hilton. Anything and everything she does objectifies women somehow. I believe the ad agency that created this spot is McCann Erickson, Brazil. Best,A.B.
Disability Spot, Actually Using a Disabled Person
Wirestone, an ad agency from Chicago created a spot for Health & Disability Advocates where it urges employers to hire people with disabilities and look beyond the labels. The main character in the spot, Alana Wallace, is an actual wheelchair user due to getting polio as a child. The other employees in the office all demonstrate their own particular disability. For example, unable to dress properly is considered a disability. The spot gets the point across without pittying the disabled employees which I think whenever you see anything disability related on TV. Kudos to the folks at Wirestone. Best, A.B.
Different Scent Kiss
Surrogates: The Movie
Surrogates, is the newest Sci-fi thriller starring Bruce Willis. The movie follows two FBI agents who are investigating the murder involving the creator of the new high-tech robots. But fir the life me I cannot find out who created the print ads for the darn movie. I have tried several Google searches with no luck. The ads are of these seemingly perfect models but they are half man and half machine. It seems like a new version of the Terminator movies. Anyway, whoever knows who created the print ads and billboards i’ve been seeing all over L.A. please let me know. Best, A.B.
Gangland: BBDO Germany
Oh the possibilities, the ad above could have easily been mistaken for an advertisement for Gangland, a History Channel TV series. The Gangland and BBDO Germany ad look as if they could come from the same family. But the ad above is actually a recruitment ad for BBDO Germany. If I would have saw the ad I would have simply passed by it because I would have thought it was promoting a TV show. Well ok, maybe not me because I honestly love the show. But honestly as a print ad the message will not resonate with the intended target audience very well. An online interactive ad would work 10…
Promotional Models
Beautiful women dressed in next to nothing have become very popular in some of today’s top selling video games. Electronic Arts (EA) is one of the most famous companies that creates some of these games. To promote some of these games, EA used Promotional girls also known as (booth girls) to attract video game fanatics. But back in 2006 they were banned. This year EA is taking it a step further by holding a contest where at this year’s Comic-Con convention attendees can win prizes if they commit suggestive acts with the beautiful ladies and photograph it. What type of prizes you ask? One lucky winner gets a dinner with…
Very Angry Moms
We know that sometimes moms can get frustrated at the grocery store. Kids crying, wanting nothing but junk food, not having enough cash, but nothing like the commercial above for Mountain Dew Level Up or Die for the brand’s Game Fuel. They take it to a whole new level when they turn into characters from the game “World of War Craft.” The work was created by BBDO New York with visual effects from Zoic Studios. Best,A.B.
RIP Goes Out to the King of POP
I am sure you all know by now that Michael Jackson, the king of pop died today at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. The news of the tragedy caused some site to temporarily crash due to so many people logging on to read about the tragedy. A lot of famous people have been dying off recently and I don’t know what its all about. The ad above is a commercial Jackson did for Pepsi. Where a freak accident occurred and his hair caught on fire. I think that may have been his most famous advertising moment. It’s a bit mean spirited to say about a person who just died…
BK Blowing Away
First let me say, the ad above is not a CP+B production, according to Adfreak it came out of Singapore on behalf of Burger King. The copy for this ad, if you can believe it is “Fill your desire for something long, juicy and flame-grilled.” First, I can’t believe this ad didn’t get censored to hell especially in a conservative country like Singapore, don’t they give you 20 years for being in possession of a single marijuana joint or something like that? Second, the ad is by far the most overtly suggestive ad I have ever seen. I am curious to know how the general public responded to it. Do…
