From 4 The Game. After celebrities like Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Kermit The Frog, Elton John, Elizabeth Hurley, Mischa Burton and Superman, the soccer superstar David Beckham will pose for ‘Got Milk’ ad. Annie Leibowitz (supposed to be a big name in the industry) has already photographed David Beckham for the advert. The Sun reports, [...]
Heineken has the habit of rolling out offbeat and interesting advertisement campaign every time. Continuing its style it has launched this print advertisement campaign to promote its product. The campaign has imbued an approach which can be dubbed as negative but hilarious. The advertisement showing paper cuttings containing funny news of Heineken pasted on what [...]
From Twenty Four This is somewhat perplexing print advertisement campaign to promote its Samsung Max-DX79 DVD systems. The campaign apparently aims at conveying the fact that this system is capable of generating so loud sound that could be proved to be troublesome even for those who are used to listen loud music, especially rock listeners. [...]
Dear Technorati, First off, thank you for running a valuable service that everyone loves and enjoys. I have to say that logging into the WordPress dashboard wouldn’t hold quite the thrill it does without the Technorati search results. But, all is not roses. My weblog is currently ranked #10 out of all the blogs ranked [...]

Hard Objects Hurt If You Work Too Much
Thank you Japan for another “weird” commercial for something that I have no idea what you are selling (candy to keep me awake at work?) [youtube]C9Vp6Auvc64[/youtube]
Diet Coke Plus – The Clear Pepsi!
From AdRants. Say hello to Diet Coke Plus, an – in our opinion, misguided – attempt to keep snacky drinks relevant in the American health craze. In less than a year, we’ll bet you $5 this vitamin- and mineral-enhanced beverage is off the shelves and lost in the shuffle of other badly-planned notions, like Vanilla [...]
The Best Legal Form For Your Biz
Rhonda Abrams, USAToday: The other day I was having a heated discussion with someone about what type of business they should start. By “type of business,” I don’t mean what products they should sell or whether they should be a manufacturing or service company. No, we were debating which legal form their business should take. [...]
From Twenty Four This is obviously an amusing print advertisement campaign launched Scotch Tape to promote its brand image. The campaign apparently focuses on the efficiency of the product and highlights the hardwearing aspect of the tape. The advertisements are showing a man’s face whose mouth was stuck fast with the tape and when it [...]
Indianapolis Business Journal: Kathy Osborn has faced formidable challenges, but one especially difficult for the 42-year-old first-time mom: how to quiet her colicky son Harper when he awoke crying every night. A music lover, Osborn was certain she could find a musical mobile that would play a variety of soothing songs long enough to lull [...]
Seattle Times: Why should Paris Hilton and Britney Spears have all the fun? Now a kid can have a pet as fashion accessory without bothering a real, live animal. Brothers Chris and Eric Ryan started Noodle Head Inc. in 2003 with products including kits for people to design their own flip-flops and Chinese kites. Expanding [...]

According to AirCell, the service will go through a trial run starting in 2008 on American’s 767-200 aircraft. Airlines have been clamoring to offer in-flight internet access to passengers for [...]
Mom Invents Bath Safety Product
Seattle Times: Ouch. Even though Susan Solan was with her baby girl at bath time, she wasn’t able to prevent little Brooke from bounding toward the metal faucet, and she felt terrible when the 1-year-old hit it face-first. “I thought why can’t I just stop her from getting to the faucet?” Solan recalls. After a [...]
Conan Obrien Explores The iPhone

From AdRants. Our dirty-minded friend Freud once said a cigar is just a cigar. But there’s something deliciously perverse about the outdoor ads for Camel’s new menthol Wides, which are “big fat delicious.” For some, it may be all too tempting to set a new Wide between their lips and… Suck?Blow some smoke? Light that [...]
