The Creative Brief Creative so good you'll crap your pants. 2010-03-11T16:10:42Z WordPress http://creativebrief.thoughtdistrict.com/feed/atom/ Dan http://www.thoughtdistrict.com <![CDATA[BetSafe ‘Crabs’]]> http://creativebrief.thoughtdistrict.com/?p=2629 2010-03-11T16:10:42Z 2010-03-11T14:55:20Z 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 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.

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

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.

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

Engaging and fun and all under 8 minutes, they’re worth it for the animation alone. Stolen from idsgn.

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.

You see, in this industry, we support our friends. Dustin, this means that the next time our puny little agency creates a five-second black and white spot for our local public access channel, we expect some reciprocal blog love.
