It's like the new cat video. OK, perhaps not but everyone likes a cute baby video, right? How about a montage of babies making "poopy face"? Oh yes. To sell its store brand diapers, ALDI of Australia has enlisted some professional poopers and filmed them in action. At weddings. On airplanes. At sporting events. At photo shoots.

In what is both hilarious (old people swearing) and utterly lame (poor copywriting and direction), Michael Moore taps the Greatest Generation to advocate for Obama. In a nursing home scenario, five old farts peer into the camera and tell us why we should vote...and vote for Obama. The work comes from MoveOn.org and its Voters Rising effort.

On Wednesday, November 7 during ad:tech New York, Clickbooth, CPAWay and AdKnowledge will host a full on blow out for all ad:tech attendees at Pacha complete with with open bar all night, tunes from DJ Jamm along with special guests and plenty of hot dancers.

Seemingly uninterested in the prospect of playing yet another hottie with a hot body - this time a character who wears her underwear in space - Megan Fox has higher aspirations; marine Biology and the invention of a technology with which to speak to dolphins.

Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. A classic with such staying power it will likely be played as we earthlings launch our first armada of Starships into space some hundred years or so from now. But, for the time being, Brazil's F/Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi has put it to use in a new commercial for Trident.
To illustrate the refreshing, full flavor of Trident Fresh, a man experiences a bit of Queen while visiting an otherwise very quiet pet shop. Produced by Stink Sao Paulo, the :60 is filled with a menagerie of digitally animated pets that deliver full bore Bohemian Rhapsody.
We last saw Bohemian Rhapsody bring bravura to an ad for the new Cosmopolitan in Vegas.
