Amstel Light Teaches Us Dutch Word for 'Beer'
And it's a lot like the English way, actually. Also see banner variation.
Sadly, the banner doesn't sing, dance or turn monitors into open bars. Guess it won't be joining the rich media gallery.

Missing Soldiers Put Internet at Standstill This campaign won a Gold Clio in the Content & Contact category. To commemorate Ehud Goldwasser, Gilad Shalit and Eldad Regev, Israeli soldiers abducted by Hezbollah on July 12 of '06, Y&R/Tel Aviv asked major sites to shut down for five minutes on July 12, '07. For that short period of time, each page aired this message. And the Awards Show Pinata Explodes Again! If after a panoply of awards shows you are still not sure which ads were best, below are the agencies, clients and campaigns that received a Gold or above in Clio's Television/Cinema/Digital, Interactive, Technique and Radio categories. Yellowbook Promises to Wipe Away Past Mistakes, Present Inadequacies To distinguish itself from its older and heavier rival, Yellowbook reimagines itself as a kind of digital genie, bestowing not merely phone numbers but self-confidence and clean slates. Instantly. This is not the first time a lower-back tat has been used to sell something it shouldn't. The VW Touareg, Livescribe and Office Max have tread that valley before (and left the ink stains to prove it). Lower still: Hyundai. Back to Yellowbook. The campaign is called "Say Yellow to the Future" and was put together by Gotham. No word on whether you can muzzle your virtual concierge if you find him too invasive. Lamborghini Brings Italy With it Everywhere it Travels From Philipp und Keuntje GmbH in Hamburg comes a campaign for Lamborghini which doesn't attempt to illustrate what is already known - that Lamborghinis are really fast Italian sports cars. Rather, the campiagn focuses on what life is like from behind the wheel of a Lamborghini even when in very un-Lamborghini-like locations. Ogilvy Ravages the Clios, Takes Home 5 Golds The 49th annual Clios took place in South Beach over the weekend. Content & Contact, Integrated Campaign, Innovative Media, Print and Design were recognized at the Fillmore in Jackie Gleason Theatre on Friday. Ogilvy & Mather received the highest number of Gold Clios -- ironic, considering its founder was so resentful of award shows: three for Frankfurt and two for New York; followed closely by BBDO Worldwide (four Golds) and DDB Worldwide (also four). Gold winners and "Best in Show" appear below. Obama's About Hope. Yeah, We Know By now the words "hope" and "Obama" are inseparable. And the man certainly hasn't welded himself to the ideal without help. Here's another one of those lovingly-produced Obama = Hope! messages, put together by Blacklist, narrated by Douglas Coupland -- who wrote Generation X, Microserfs and The Gum Thief -- and directed by Pistachios. Jesse Dylan, who directed "Yes We Can," also came along for the ride. It probably won't spark a mash-up craze, but it's one more for the I <3 Obama scrapbook. (You have one, don't you? ...uh-huh.) This is called 'Get in the Loop.' That Doesn't Mean You'll Want To For its client Qwest, Draftfcb uses the common man -- and the common woman, and their common kids -- to appeal to their counterparts in your living room. The campaign is called "Get in the Loop" and is not at all extraordinary. Reason #246 to Never Move to Cleveland: Vermin-Infested Home Games It's hard to imagine an ad like this would compel you to buy seats to an Indians game. But you have to admire the players' focus despite such uninviting conditions. (The Yankees, in contrast, look flustered and pitiable.) Alternatively, the bugs may just be flocking because the team never bathes, in which case it's easy to imagine the Indians are so "focused" because the bugs are part of who they are. Remember Pig-Pen? Anyway, this spot is part of the Indians' "Are you in the Tribe?" campaign. The idea is to instill a sense of territorial pride in Clevelanders -- kind of an offshoot of MLB's Baseball Country effort. Alltel Wants to Send You on Vacation ... Just Hope It's Not to the ManCave To celebrate the second anniversary of its "My Circle" program, Alltel Wireless is giving a luxury vacation away to a My Circle customer and his or her family and friends. Register at the My Circle Reunion website. You'll also have to text "CIRCLE" to 102102. The vacation package -- which lasts four days and three nights, like a timeshare sweepstakes! -- includes a "special meal" by celebrity chef Ted Allen. The winner and his minions will also receive a new handset and a $200 Alltel gift card. Off-topic, Alltel Wireless now claims to be America's largest network. I thought that phrase was handcrafted especially for AT&T. Guess anybody can use it.
