When they gave Diesel permission to use their library last March for a ten hour ad campaign shoot, did the Brooklyn Law School really think the outcome wouldn't be racy? Apparently not because the school now regrets allowing the brand to use their facilities.
In an email to students and staff, the school's Dean wrote, 'We are as shocked and mortified as you must be by these photographs. When the school gave its permission to do the shoot, the school was assured that the photos would be in good taste. They are not.'
A spokesperson told Above the Law, "Television and movie producers frequently ask for permission to use our beautiful facilities as a backdrop and we try to oblige when we can. When we gave Diesel jeans permission to do a photo shoot, we understood that jeans, and not what is worn under them, would be the subject of the shoot. We would not want to create the impression that the featured attire was approved by us."

If you've ever stood in front of an open window and wondered why the bee continuously flying into the part of the window that's closed doesn't just flying through the part that's open, you'll know exactly what was going on inside the minds of the creatives who crafted this new work for Vodafone.
The commercial, part of a TV, radio, print, poster, and online campaign, promotes the brand's Freebees Big Top 40, a program that offers free text and web access.
The brand's creative has certainly progressed since it gave a girl a facial back in 2004.

Why is it that innovation is always imitated? Oh right. Because most people aren't smart enough to innovate but they're plenty capable of copying a great idea and capitalizing on it. Seems that's what's going on over at Samsung which is out with a mini-iPad called Galaxy.
And how does an imitator promote their copied creation? By copying another marketer's campaign. Which is exactly what Samgsung does here in this commercial which is just a long form version of the Career Builder spots which ran a while back.

Seriously? Does anyone think that placing disgusting pictures on a pack of cigarettes will get people to quit? They'll pay attention to those images about as much as they pay attention to ads on TV. They'll just mentally DVR them, open the pack and suck down yet another cancer stick.
The Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services are out with a collection of nasty images they want placed on cigarette packaging. It's the first proposed change in 25 years. There's stoma guy. Smoke in baby's face. Dead guy. Disgusting looking body parts. Gross dental shots.
