Hitta.se ‘R.I.P. Yellow Pages’

Dan — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 03:46:55 +0000

Last week, it was decreed that IE6 is dead. Let’s run with this ad’s sentiments and add The Yellow Pages to the obits as well. Besides strongman competitions and providing a little midget-assist, who needs them anyway? By Masscreation, Sweden.

BetSafe ‘Crabs’

Dan — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:55:20 +0000

An older sweaty man and a younger sweaty man, both almost naked, do something in the ocean together. The younger man has something in his mouth. The older man pulls something big out of his speedo. They both end up getting crabs. The ad ends with money being exchanged.

This is completely SFW.

A Short Film By Ian Worrel: ‘Second Wind’

Dan — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 06:08:14 +0000

A wonderful, technically impressive short film with a great soundtrack that I enjoyed more than any of the Oscar-nominated shorts from this year, including Oscar-winner Logorama. Keep an eye on this Ian Worrel kid.

From Motionographer.

Gu Chocolate Puds ‘Gu You Ganache?’

If chocolate is sexy, then ganache must be its lewd, lascivious cousin. By Mother, London.

Fleggard ‘What Women Want’

Dan — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 14:53:51 +0000

This is for the ladies… Slick-bodied gents croon and melt female hearts to the tune of Up Where We Belong.

Fleggaard, a German store, has gotten in trouble by women’s rights groups for their controversial ads featuring naked women (sorry boys, I’m not even going to link it). This shifts the balance of power back to the ladies, right?

Maybe. It’s an ad for laundry detergent. From ettf.

Stride ‘Ostriches’

Dan — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:03:52 +0000

Some mysteries are never meant to be solved. Unless you’re the type that welcomes destructive Ostrich-riding businessmen into your home.

The Oscar Nominees for Animated Short Film

Dan — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:57:57 +0000

You’ve seen Logorama, last night’s winner of the Oscar in this category… now here are the rest of the Oscar nominees for Animated Short Film (w/the exception of Wallace and Gromit). Engaging and fun and all under 8 minutes, they’re worth it for the animation alone. Stolen from idsgn.

Sleeping Beauty

French Roast

Bosch

This is why I only eat meat… it’s clear vegetables are living things with feelings just like us. By DDB Düsseldorf.

It’s Friday

IE6 Is Dead.

Dan — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 05:32:23 +0000

It’s official. Let it be known. I’m talking to you, “woman who pays with a check at the grocery store”. And you too, “man who will only drive a mid- to late-model Buick, Oldsmobile, or Crown Victoria”. And don’t think I forgot you either, “man who owns the entire run of Perry Mason on VHS”.

Of course if you’re actually on IE6, you probably can’t read this.
