These new ads for Omax Lens must be targeting the perverts as they show that (thanks to the Omax wide lenses) you can stalk and perve on people in public places without giving yourself away. I must admit its pretty witty and cheeky, but a bit worrying at the same time. Imagine if a knife was sold like this: ‘this knife is really good if you want to murder someone..’ The ads were done by Publicis, India.
One of my favorite bands, The Killers, have collaborated with UNICEF, MTV EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking) and the US Agency for International Development, on a new music video that raises awareness about sex trafficking. The video is for the song ‘Goodnight, Travel Well’ from The Killer’s latest album Day & Age and is directed by David Slade.
"We are deeply shocked and appalled that women and children are forced into such exploitative situations,” explained a spokesperson for The Killers. “We hope that through MTV's efforts, and this powerful video, millions of people across the world learn about this tragic form of modern-day slavery."

The guys at Harvey Nichols always come up with creative and unusual ads (see their previous campaigns here). The latest creative ads come from DDB London for the Harvey Nichols summer sales with a theme of Mortal Kombat/ Street Fighter. A fight over shoes and bags! The photography is by Rick Guest, creative direction by Jeremy Craigen, art direction by Graeme Hall, copy by Hunter Somerville, and illustration by Mathieu Raynault.

Just Jack is back!!! His first album ‘Overtones’ has been one of my absolute favorites over the past two years. I am happy to find that Just Jack is just as good still with his new single ‘Doctor Doctor’ off the new album 'All Night Cinema'
‘I just want this bitch to notice me’
Here are my two favorite songs from the first album, ‘Writer’s Block’ and ‘Mourning Morning.’
‘I wash two cups and then I remember that you left already…’
