Swimming in a Condom!
Very witty ads from Chinese condom brand Elasun that use condoms as sports apparatus to capitalize on the Beijing Olympics buzz.
I think the cycling and basketball ads above are the most effective. However, the swimming one below is just damn funny. Swimming in a condom!

Pixar unveiled the teaser trailer for Up and its unusual 78 year-old hero at Comi-Con 2008. The plot of the movie goes like this, “The hero of the film is a 78-year-old man named Carl Fredricksen, who walks around hunched over with a tripod cane. When he was a kid he met a girl named Ellie, who grew up in small midwestern town. The two fell in love and eventually got married. Her dream was always to explore the world and visit paradise falls, but as usually happens, life got in the way. They were never able to make good on their promise, and Ellie eventually passed away.

Pinocchio Gets Manhandled!
Very cool art direction by 1861United, Milano for SKY Satellite TV ad campaign. The ads communicate that SKY ensures only 'kid-friendly' programs. See that look on Pinocchio's face!
However, I think different variations of the cocnept should have been used. The metal detector's use in cool, but not in all the ads! Maybe asking them to remove their shoes, frisking them, ...

Hatching Billboards: McD's Giant Egg
The super creative Leo Burnett ad agency, Chicago created this awesome beyond words Giant Egg billboard for McDonald's. It was installed last week across from Wrigley field in Chicago.
The giant egg billboard starts cracking and opening up in the wee hours of morning. By breakfast time, the egg has already hatched, and you can see "Fresh Eggs Daily" written on the egg's yolk.
The egg stays open from 6:00AM till 10:30AM, to indicate the availability of fresh eggs during that time. Once the breakfast time is finished, the egg billboard shuts and stays closed as a whole egg till the next morning.
The mechanical engineering of the billboard was handled by Prop Art Studio, MMT.
