Diet Pepsi Brings Back Joy (Horror) of Sleepover and Recess 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. Move Over Diesel. It's Time For Movie Boy Ooo! Ooo! It's like Diesels' The Heides...but not. Check out Movie Boy from glue London for The Sun. There's DVD/s Lots and lot of DVDs. All to be watched 24/7 over the course of six and a half days. The dets? We Love Billboard Extensions! 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.

Is anyone out there?? It's January 20 and the Super Bowl is less than two weeks away and all we have in terms of advertising buzz leading up to the game is...crickets. Aren't we all supposed to be drooling over what we'll see that day in terms of commercials? Aren't brands supposed to be fanatically seeding their commercial in advance of the game? Isn't Bob Garfield supposed to be doing some sort of pre-game bloviation? Ain't No One Buyin' A Pizza Pop After Viewing These Commercials We're quite sure most people would agree the general purpose of a commercial is to get people to buy something. After viewing these four commercials from Cossette Communications Toronto for Pillsbury Pizza Pops, we're also quite sure the last thing anyone would want to do is go out and buy a Pillsbury Pizza Pop. If there were ever a more disgusting way to represent the appetizing qualities of a food item, we are at a loss to think of anything. OK, we'll admit they're kinda funny. Still. Contest Encourages People to Out-Bimbo Jim Beam Bimbo 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. Three Days of Affiliate Summit West Compressed Into Short (ish) Video OK so we covered the Affiliate Summit West conference here and we covered the parties here and we posted the pictures here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here but, ya know, that's just way too much crap to look at so we've compressed it all into a amateurishly produced video complete with automated dissolves and some archaic trance music. View here or click more to see it. Disco Ballers Ray-Ban's Answer to 'What is Love's' Butabi Brothers 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. Leo Burnett UK Takes A Motrin, Offers 2009 Predictions Hmm. Leo Burnett must have been taking Motrin when they created their latest Future Trends in Advertising video. As soon as Ben starts talking, WHAM, block type assault you with what Leo Burnett believes will "define 2009." Something about a New Realism, Human Reassessment, Hyper Reality, Eco Austerity, Thread Marketing and other postulations ensue. The video is best watched with your eyes closed. Or, better yet, just read the text on YouTube. Even better, run it through Babelizer and maybe, just maybe, something even remotely understandable will be produced.
