Oh Bokito!!!

These BokitoViewers were designed and given away free by Health insurance company FBTO after a Gorilla named Bokito escaped on May 18, 2008 and attacked a female visitor in the zoo who had direct eye contact. The viewers allow you to look directly at the animals while seeming to look away.

Trapped with a Sony PSP

This is one of the wittiest ads I have seen in a long while. The Sony PSP ad by TBWA, Madrid shows a suspect that appears to be cuffed to the lamp post, but when you look closer, you see that he is actually playing on PSP and can not let it go while the police are watching him. Brilliant!!

Toyota: Trees on Wheels

'If you are going to drink, please don't drive.'

I like it. It's subtle and simple but delivers a good point: when you start seeing things like trees, pillar and road signs moving, you are too drunk to drive!!! See the rest of the Toyota campaign which was created by Saatchi & Saatchi, Malaysia here

More Stupid Ads

I have come upon these ads that promote, Jobzonen.dk, a new job search site. I can not even begin to describe how bad they really are. Depicting people unhappy with their jobs as beaten and abused blow-up dolls trivializes these serious issues. See my friend mediterranean's article about them here

Smoking Kills More Than

Nice campaign, with the pictures being constructed using hundreds of cigarettes to show that smoking kills more than those infamous killing machines.

.

If you like it, see a similar campain for Malaria:

Drawing With Mosquitos - Malaria Kills More Than Hitler, Stalin, Tanks & Bombs

I am in awe of this new Malaria awareness campaign by África Directo. The message that "Nothing and no one takes as many lives as malaria" is ingeniously delivered by drawing portraits of infamous dictators such as Stalin and Hitler, who have the blood of millions on their hands, using hundreds of … [More] Continue reading this post...

When Swallowing Hurts

Food made from broken glass for Mebucaine new campaign

See their previous strange campaign in the link below:

Misplaced Body Parts as Advertising - The Mebucaine Throat Campaign (GALLERY)

Misplaced body parts always freak me out. It all started with Madonna's Bedtime Story music video which had her eye as a mouth and vice versa. The new freaky campaign for Mebucaine places an open mouth on your throat/neck to illustrate how you can open your throat with their sore throat medicine.… [More] Continue reading this post...

Bloody Clue!

Brilliant guerrilla campaign for murder mystery game, Clue by Jenny Luong and Jared Friedberg from Humber College, Toronto, Canada.

Picture this: you go into a public washroom at a restaurant or bar, unassumingly squeeze some of that liquid soap onto your palm from a deceivingly normal looking dispenser. Oh it's red, must smell like strawberries... You start washing your hands and boy, you've got a bloody mess on your hands!!

Remember, in Clue everyone is a suspect...

in an absolut world

Great video showing various ads and local campaigns in the super successful "in an absolut world" campaign. From free money at absoult cash machines and free taxi rides in super luxury cars, to California being part of Mexico and politician's nose expanding when they lie. The campaign just works!
