Is This Non-Sensical Unilever Campaign Selling Ice Cream Or A News Channel?

The press release for this campaign promoting South African news channel WWW News describes the efforts three videos as yawn-worthy. We'd agree. But we'd go a step further and call the entire campaign yawn-worthy.

But since he's drinking the magical Vifit, even a hot girl who strips down to her underwear and does a dance routine on the table right in front of him can't sway this guy from concentrating on his studies.

Fallon Brings Back the Fanny Pack in Humorous Glue Ad

No! No! No! Please no!

High up on the list of fashion disasters is the dreaded fanny pack. It rose to infamy in the late 1980s and early-to-mid 1990s. And, for the most part, you don't see them anymore.
