So what does Las Vegas do in a down economy which has caused a precipitous drop in visits, halted construction and caused casinos to file for bankruptcy? It invites (and pays for) an entire town to travel to Vegas and documents their every move.
All 358 residents of Texas town Cranfills Gap traveled to Las Vegas and experienced everything the town had to offer. The whole adventure is captured in a series of videos and has been all over the news.
No matter your stand on abortion, you have to admit this pro-life commercial from CatholicVote featuring President Obama moves you just a little bit. Doesn't it?
Oh sure, CatholicVote is milking this for all its worth but there are two sides to every story and this is one of the better Pro-life arguments we've seen in recent memory.
Keta Keta has been working on a series of promotion videos for LastMinuteTravel which promotes the travel site's latest offering; each day for 15 minutes, every hotel booking is just $1. Five episodes were released over a five day period reaching a total viewership of one million.
The promotion, which begins January 26, features people trying (and in most cases, failing) to take advantage of the deal. Two of the videos, Surprise and Anniversay have garnered the most views. Anniversary is the video that YouTube banned, perhaps for the striptease a wife performs for her husband while he is tied to their bed. Minimal clothing is actually removed.
All of the videos have been compiled into one video here (in which, apparently, there are clues as to increasing your chances at finding the 15 minute windows) or you can watch each one (including Anniversary) individually here.
Finally! Apparently someone read our story in which we wondered where the hell all the pre-Super Bowl game excitement was. That someone is CareerBuilder who graciously sent us one of the spots they will air during Super Bowl XLIII.
Created by W+K and called Tips, the spot does the 12 days of Christmas/99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall thing citing of all the things we might hate about our jobs and why we might consider switching jobs if we are experiencing any of them.
If you hate going to work...
If your co-workers don't respect you...
if you wish you were somewhere else...
If you cry all constantly...
You get the idea.
While we like the spot, we're positive repeated viewing will cause a serious case of Saved by Zero syndrome.
Bizarre and obtuse. Two words that aptly describe these new commercial from Colle+McVoy for the Minnesota State Lottery. Even weirder is the fact the same actors play differing parts in the six commercials. But it's nice to see the familar face of the convenience store clerk from the original campaign.
Quirky. Weird. Odd.
Give them a watch.
Want your childhood back? Sleepovers? Recess? Courtesy of BBDO Toronto, all you have to do is grab a Diet Pepsi and reminisce. That is until, for some, the realization childhood wasn't actually so great after all slaps you upside the head.
Like hair extensions, we love billboard extensions. Wait, what? OK, yea, that was a freakishly strange analogy but still. We like billboard extensiosn. Well executed, they add a lot the the creative element of the board.
To hype the fun having that can be had at Mammoth Mountain, David and Goliath created this simple billboard with a boarder rockin' the billboard like it's a half pipe. It's simple. It conveys the excitement of boarding. And it employs a jell of a lot of our favorite thing: white space.
Remember the Jim Beam girlfriend ad? It's back. And this time it comes with a contest which kicks off today. As part of the campaign, people will be urged to create and upload their own versions of the Girlfriend commercial for a chance to win $25,000 and a trip to Las Vegas.
The commercial which will air through February 15 on sports networks including TNT and ESPN during the NBA playoffs. People will have until March 19 to enter the contest.
So if you've got something even more bimbo-headed that the original then, by all means, send it in. No doubt we'll feature the winner here.
Like a hip-hop version of the Butabi brother's What is Love moves, the Disco Ballers "bring the dance floor to the streets."
After properly suiting up with appropriately cheesy clothing and, of course, Ray-Bans, the Disco Ballers head out to the streets of New York to share their dicso ball love with the public.
Never Hide.
Wanna bamboozle the same daft friends who thought Kobe Bryant really jumped over a speeding Aston Martin?
Then sit them down and share this video of Gossip Girl actress Tyler Momsen escaping the paparazzi -- with help from her loud blue Nike sneaks. And possibly some training tips from Spiderman.
