Elaine’s Bagels

Photoshop wizardry that makes bagels look absolutely scrumptious in these ads by Squid Ink USA.

And I don’t even like bagels, which clearly are the high maintenance cousins of donuts. You gotta love the simplicity of donuts. With bagels, you’ve gotta have a knife around to cut ‘em in half, then you’ve gotta have some cream cheese available to spread around, then you have to chew a billion times just so they’re soft enough to go down the pipes, then you have to slap yourself for not buying donuts which would’ve saved yourself all the trouble. Really, eating bagels is like self-flagellation compared to eating donuts. They’re like celery… you’d die of starvation if you were stuck on an island with them. Boy, this is going off on a tangent. Yeah… bagels are lame. From Ads of the World.

Aussie radio station 95.3 FM honors Jimi Hendrix and Australian rock gods Bon Scott (AC/DC) and Micheal Hutchence (INXS) by keeping their music alive.

Gambol Sandals Campaign

Dan — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 03:59:50 +0000

These gritty (yet pretty) ads are the best things to happen to flip flops, which are uncomfortable, loud and the most foul-smelling of all footwear.

…damn flip flops. Hate ‘em.

Aucma Fans Campaign

Dan — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 04:33:30 +0000

These are probably the prettiest print ads you’ll ever see for an electric fan. I can’t say for sure, but I’m pretty confident in that assumption. From Ads of the World.

Movement For the Support of Social Integration ‘Turning Page’

Dan — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 14:35:17 +0000

Lovely stuff by Dpz São Paulo that forces people to face the issue of underprivileged children. Cognitive dissonance… now there‘s a selling strategy!

Kaffeine Communications ‘Unsinkable Creative Salt’

Dan — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 02:49:12 +0000

In one of the dumbest self-promos I’ve seen in awhile, Kaffeine Communications compares the buoyancy properties of salt to its own brand strategy. What?
