GOOG/Twit Search, Human Clocks, Horrors Make BeanCast - Dollplay for Dollhouse, ARG-style. - Sprint's YouTube-tastic human clock. (Saucy.) - Calling all yelpers. No, not the hipster elitist resto-reviewers. - Yahoo Sideline is an app that lets you keep track of Twitter searches you make often, updates them in real-time, and lets you skim them in tandem. Think TweetDeck for the buzz-thirsty. (More thoughts at Mashable.) Milk Saves Princesses from Bitchiness and Spinsterhood Who needs Disney when you've got the California Milk Processor Board? Watch with conviction renewed how two princes-to-be win royal mates. British Retailer Apologizes For Over Charging Big Breasted Women Hmm. So U.K retailer Marks & Spencer runs an ad to apologize for charging more for its larger sized bras because, well, they have more fabric and they cost more to make but they run the ad with the headline, "We boobed," as if equating boobs to a mistake. So, Marks & Spencer, are you saying breasts - of any size - are a mistake? Hmm. Not a very nice thing to say when you make your money holding up half the world's chests. Oy. When will we stop the prejudicial hateraid parade towards any woman with more than a mere ant hill on her chest? Got Aggression? Shoot the Banker. It's live paintball, everybody, brought to you by a handful of creatives: Brigham White, Richard Fleming, Aaron Mcguire and Taran Chadha, who lives in Boulder -- the rock under the shadow of CP+B. From The Denver Egotist:
Indeed indeed. Seedy Chip Wants to Sell You an SUV. The car salesman-cum-lounge-singer is the personification of class. Once you're all classed-out, logic follows that you'll compulsively go, "Shit, I'm getting an Audi Q5." Sainsbury's: The Roots of Everything You Think is Trendy Sainsbury's takes responsibility for every awesome thing that's ever happened to us in its latest ad, "140," a tribute to how long it's been around. An example of its modest achievements include:
Among others. Don't get us wrong, though. That piano melody and the overall Hovis-y vibe? Very charming. By Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO. Sainsbury's '140 ad' by Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO Nicole Kidman Plays the Schweppes Coquette Nicole Kidman revisits her Moulin Rouge days in a Schweppes ad where both innocence (personified by a smiling Indian girl) and sexuality (personified by a beguiled house-hubby) vie for her attention. Ultimately, the fizzy water wins. Whatever, man. The piece fell into our laps via @tamega, and marks an odd departure from Schweppes' previous focus points: sophisticated cowboys and gluttons for Commander Whitehead. H&M's Matthew Williamson Whets Appetites for Change Diggin' this surreal and totally retro spot for Matthew Williamson's H&M line, which Jeremy Dante was kind enough to throw into our periphery. It's mod, loungey and aesthetic. Focus on the clothes while your eyes feast on imagery that feeds off '80s decadence (the supermodel heyday), the nouvelle vague, The Shining (--unsettling triplets!), and possibly Puppet Master. (Seriously. That little puppet woman was creepy creepy.) What's neat is that the ad traverses the tightrope of kitsch without falling over. There's this ridic Prince-meets-Thriller moment where Williamson rises out of the earth, like a self-righteous vampire king, and wins the fawning attention of all the defecting change-seeking femmes. (Compelling. Is it possible Williamson's a Russian military vet?) The ambient music, We Need a Change, was composed exclusively for the spot by Malcolm Pardon and Fredrik Rinman with lyricist Johan Renck.

Especially now. - Thanks to a simple enough idea floated by this guy right here, El Pollo Loco decides to accept the KFC-Oprah coupon. (Okay, only on Mother's day. Still: coup, baby, COUP!) 'Til Our Biological Clocks Have Safely Ceased, We'll Stick to Our Own Country, Thanks. OLSON finally debuts some work since winning the Country Inns & Suites account in late 2008: "I love this Country," a tame, feebly funny campaign that'll appeal to wilting Lifetime TV lovers.
