Pepsi Max Super Bowl Spots

Pepsi Max is targeting men? OK, so the "first" diet soda for men. Hmmmm, am I missing something here? Oh well enjoy the Pepsi Max Super Bowl Spots.

I found this while looking through a blog called Cool Hunting. It was taken in Cuba by an artist named Baldomero Fernandez.

He comments, "usually I tend to photograph quiet scenes that are empty and have a feeling of solitude. The surreal part that comes through is usually more because of anachronisms, or maybe something is just out of place. It's not straightforward surrealism. Reality usually tends to be far stranger than fiction" (from Cool Hunting). You can read the full Q + A here, and also look at more of his Cuba photos.

I would love to go and see some of his other work on display. Also, having gone to Cuba, I really like this shot.

GE Super Bowl Sport - Scarecrow

GE is pushing a smarter/intelligent kind of energy with the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz. He sings his staple song of "If I only had a brain," to help get GE's point across.

A Landline to Rival Your SmartPhone

The touch-screen based Verizon Hub is ($200; Release date TBA) is Verizon's attempt to try and get people to not ditch their landline phone, and this phone does just that. The phone is able to have widget-style traffic, weather, directions, pizza ordering and movie trailer functionality, the ability to add contacts and calendar events remotely, and visual voicemail. Now we need LG to make a TV with all of these capabilities.

New Orleans My Second Home

For those of you who don't know that I lived in New Orleans for 6 years, well now you do. Probably the craziest city ever. But good crazy. Well this is a site that shows photography of books that were devastated during hurricane Katrina. Powerful stuff, and it gives people another view on what happened in '05. The site redirects interested people to Friends of New Orleans where YOU can help support the rebuilding of New Orleans.

Also, don't forget that Jazzfest is right around the corner. I guarantee you will have an unbelievable time and you will eat some of the most delicious food. YEAH YOU RIGHT!

E*TRADE Baby Outtakes

E-Trade is going for the Super Bowl once again with their talking baby. Well this is clever use of Grey's time. Outtakes!!!!

Drumstick Ad - The Summer Parade

This one is fun, but a little to similar to Coke's Happiness Factory. I mean they even have the walking lips.

The BANNED DFS Rockstar advert

This one is up there on the worst ads I have seen in a while. Still second to Montgomery Flea Market. YouTube that if you haven't seen it.

LeBron James State Farm Anticipation

From the first ad where LeBron says he is going to admit his true love I was intrigued, but to go to football was not a big leap. I still like the ad, I only wish they had gone away from sports and made this a little funnier.

What really happened during the taping of the Whopper Virgins

Live Flight of the Concords Show at Amoeba Records

Tricky Shiner Bock, oh soooooo tricky. Free koozie outside of a concert that exclusively sells Heineken beer. Cover up the Heineken logo and voila a completely different beer. This is a smooth way to get past paying the big bucks for the sponsorship, but they loose out on the beer sales. So who really won this battle?

Is radio hurting this badly that they need to get pros on the street to get people to tune into a talk show? Well one ad agency thinks so, and I bet there are some pissed off pimps that want their cut. I am going to call out the agency so that the pimps can get what they work so hard for. So The Bishop Don “Magic” Juan go get Zig for yo dough.

Coke is on drugs

Coke is launching a few spots during some big game with Bowl and Super in the title. WTF. If I had tats that could do what these teenagers drawings are capable of, then I would be on the street hustling some tourists hoping to get on Conan O'Brien. Check out the spot here:

T-Mobile Flash Mob

With traffic running along as usual, T-Mobile stepped out onto the dance floor/Liverpool St. station to get into the funky groove. As the video progresses more and more people in the station turn out to be part of the giant electric slide. OK so maybe they don't do the electric slide, but it is a choreographed scene that multiplies with more and more people.
