This cracked me up. It certainly has no nudity but the point is not lost in the cartoon-like masking.

This was found over on Creativity Online:

Diesel bangs the drum (and other things) for its worldwide Dirty 30 party.

Originally done by SFW Porn, Diesel borrows the motif for it’s upcoming anniversary, making sure its XXX birthday invite stays Safe For Work.

This is worth watching if only to realize that JC Penny did it. Watch it and tell me if the brands you work for, or like would have done something like this. Good for you JC Penny.

Thanks M for the link.

The graphics are just amazing. I don’t play the Skate games but my kids do and Skate 1 was impressive but this looks like another level of complexity.

Pretty damn funny commercial from Stanley Steemer. “Stop it Toby,” too funny.

When I was still in Kansas City, I would order things from Archie McPhee. Now that I’m in Seattle, Archie McPhee is only about 20min to 2 hours away depending on traffic.

Today I got the Collector’s Edition #75 in the mail today.

It really is a must see store in Ballard, which is one of my favorite towns outside of Seattle. Great restaurants, great stores and best of all Archie McPhee. It’s also the town that all the fishermen from Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel enjoy at Lockspot Cafe.

Don’t forget to check out squirrelunderpants.com, it’s on the cover.

Follow the link for a bizarre video that just makes me want undies for all the naked squirrels out there.

Little more on Archie McPhee from Wikipedia:

Archie McPhee is a Seattle based novelty dealer owned by Mark Pahlow. Begun in the 1970s in Los Angeles as the mail-order business “Accoutrements”, in 1983 it opened a retail outlet dubbed “Archie McPhee” after Pahlow’s wife’s great-uncle.

The company’s line expanded from rubber chickens to glow-in-the-dark aliens, bacon scented air freshener, and hula girl swizzle sticks. It became a popular Seattle tourist destination while maintaining enough counter-cultural credentials that Ben & Jerry’s Wavy Gravy ice cream was introduced at a party on the premises in 1993.

Its kitsch appeal received further national attention from the “Librarian Action Figure”. In 2002 Nancy Pearl told Pahlow over dinner that librarians like herself “perform miracles every day”. Pearl later posed for a 13 cm hard plastic doll, and librarians from all around the world registered their dismay at its “amazing push-button shushing action!”

Pearl has gone on to author two books as well as an international tour and the release of a “delux” edition of her action figure and Archie McPhee has since featured in Scientific American’s “Technology and Business” review and Time Magazine’s fifty coolest websites of 2005.

The buzz about the BlackBerry Storm is all over the place for about 2 weeks and it’s only going to get bigger.

It’s being called the iPhone Killer but so was the G1. Based on watching 2 hours of prime-time TV last night, I’m guessing that the Smart Phone market is about to drop millions of advertising between now and Christmas. I saw 8 Smart Phone commercials in 2 hours. iPhone showed 3, G1 showed 3 and BlackBerry showed 2.

I will be posting most of them here in the next day or so.

Some people will do anything to get the new BlackBerry Storm, even get a tattoo of one with “iPhone Sucks” under it.

I got an email (thanks Renee) that had about 25 jpg and gif files of really bad classified ads and story headlines and turned them into a quick video.

It’s thrown together so you might have to stop the video to read some of them.

I have seen the commercials and I finally went to the site to see what this testosterone driven campaign was all about. Yes, I did.

You have 4 teams that are racing against all kinds of odds, driving obstacle courses in the RAM 1500.

I must admit that the production quality and the online events are engaging, the site has plenty of interactive juice behind it and the video quality is damn impressive (if you are willing to wait for the load time).

I’m not a Cowboy, Fireman, Military or Contractor and I’m not the demographic for a manly truck (software and design don’t typically lean towards commercial needs that require what the RAM provides, not going to throw all my No. 2 pencils and drawing pads in the back) but I can definitely appreciate the effort behind this campaign.

Although this is not a truck for me, the creative idea and execution are worthy of paying notice of.

Anyone that has been working in advertising, especially as long as I have, this funny clip will seem familiar.

It’s not over the top funny but a smart viral video for Atlanta based shop Moxie.

Here is yet another commercial from Jack Link’s - Messin’ With Sasquatch.

This golf one has been on for a while but I just never had access to it.

Don’t tease Sasquatch, they will get aggressive.
