IceBerg Ads

While it's always a shame to have large shelves of ice take pick themselves up by their ice straps and take off into the world on their own, it opens up some shameless potentialities.

How long before someone tags it with graffityi? As it descends down the Atlanticc, it may well become an attraction. And where attraction is, advertising lurks in the shadows. Before you know it you will have entire walls of ice covered in posters. While placing them is precarious it's still worth it.

For the technical specialist

It's entertaining somewhat but I'm not tracking I'll tell you what. But if I was truly understanding of that kind of thing, I would likely have been sold, I watched the whole dang thing it caught my attention so strong. Pretty good I sais, pretty good.

I am effectively dispered in seeing this ad. It's... arg, so dispersing. It almost gives me a headache just trying to confront it.

Well branded in the mind

This add actually doesn't communicate that well on it's own, but backed up by the number of these adds that I've seen through the weeks and days on this campaign I do understand it utterly and completed, rather immediately.

But it should not be that your product of the add (SALES) is dependent on the consumer having seen every other add of that type ever made.

Bland

It's kind of chicken and a generic creamed wheat meal. It's bland. Very bland.


Needs more impingment. Considerably more impingment.

Acrobat of Solitude

That's..."artsy"-ish?

It's kind of cool, but it looks like he's contemplating inner solitude+furry+boredom. Why does this increase my workflow? Can I sit around and drink coffee because the production line is so silky smooth?

Industry utilization

The utilization of industry news in the gaming industry is, by some, extremely well executed. I don't know even look for anything in regards to the 3 latest consoles that have come out (360, Wii and PS3) but I see them EVERY day. Literally, not one day do I go without seeing a NEW story on them.

That's excellent press. 360 as an extra plus is older so it sticks out like a sore thumb when compared. Then the Wii has an odd name that relates itself to Wi-Fi and it sticks in there nice an solid. Then the PS3 unfortunately is played a little tame this year. It needs more BOOM. But atleast "PS" is consistent and you can't ever really forget it.

Unfortunately after the Dreamcast it's unlikely Sega will ever try again but they did good with Genesis (even though you didn't know it was called that even after buying it). They should have gone the way of Nintendo and kept calling it SEGA. I still think of the SEGA being YELLED at you in the commercial. That's impingment.

Pretty extreme

There's an add now for the BlackBerry portable "phone" that does everything ever on cNet. It is pretty intense as a product, but the ad is a bit farther. It is Flash and animate in, is not disorienting, and the button in the end is roughly 6-7 frames of mouse over and mouse up. It's a lot of detail for an add and is definitely for the high brass. Pretty good job.

An enjoyable annual

Just perusing this years "best and worst" ads, while only a sampling and it only does commercial so is not really scratching surface considering sales generated by print media, it is still good for a laugh.

Very imperial

Pretty imperial this is. It's good though, it's attractive and with the given that I am the right audience, I read the whole thing and certainly would have clicked on it were it the right time. Once they break the "were it the right time clause," they'll be taped.

Wha?

Podcast: Zuner or later? Cisco-Cola?

Ah yes, of course. This could perk interest for what ever they are talking about. As now I think the mass manufacturer Cisco is trying to make cola and that Zuner doesn't mean anything but it reminds me a video game from 1995. It's rought around the edges this one.

Wrong target?

Maybe I'm just so far from the right audience that it totally hits me the wrong way but I'm inclined to think they are selling sun glasses very poorly.

Help needed in Australia

Help is needed right now in Australia.
Over 1400 sq km of bushland burned so far, assistance is needed from anyone that can provide it..

The Church of Scientology of Melbourne is the headquarters for this Scientology Disaster Relief effort. Anyone who can help should contact the Volunteer Ministers Coordinator to get instructions and directions on how to meet up with the team.

Positioning? What positioning?

This is POSITIONING.

Look familiar? You may have seen the same shot taken of Babe Ruth round abouts 50 years ago. Makes the shot 100x better than it would be if it were purely unique. Good job.

Misrepresentation

What is this representing?



Glorifying what? Selling what? I'm afraid it is selling the subdued idea of psychology over the carying force of a chick and sparkles.

I would suggest checking out this publication on Psychology.

Big Pharma

Big Pharma, the glorified industry of drug pushing on government spending for, has made their message clear letting everyone know they don't know mind that you hate everyone so much you want to die, and today even their form of "tests" say you're more likely to try. But another thing their joke of tests trys to indicate is that you're less likely to succeed. Big Pharma always there making sure you're not even able enough to knock yourself out.

Philippines Typhoon

The recent typhon that hit Philippines four hours out of Manilla has left 1000 dead and 40,000 displaced. Volunteers are needed urgently. To find out more on the distaster click here. To find out what you can do to help, contact the Scientology Volunteer Ministers here.

Weather

I have to admit, my attention was only so drawn to this by the confusion it created. I went right by on the page only realizing it said "Weather PLUS" after going by it, upon getting this rejected by my personal computer (mind) I went back to it to make some sense of how Weather could be Weather PLUS, ever, for any reason at all. Upon review of it...it does show highs AND lowes...which is a plus point, I don't know that earns the rights of Weather PLUS.

That's one way of doing it though, utter stupidification of the view, it's used by ad absurdem shows like the Simpsons all the time. They should probably use something less subtle next time though, like Weather OBLITERATION.

Service a smile, get our grants passed.

Signing up is an endorsement, nothing wrong with it necissarily. But all the funding going in to alerting could go in to handling the real problem, finding reason WHY criminals are being criminals, while this may seem mundane it's an unfortunately pertinent subject.

Do you know why the fequency of these offensives are so great that we have the alert system? Would be good to know if we were to terminately handle the situation, would it not?
