Green(er) energy?

Slightly less odd and kooky than my usual posts this is by no means less interesting...
The 'Bloom Box' wants to be in every home in 5-10 years, providing us with greener energy for a smaller price, decide for yourself...

I think I can safely speak for the masses when I say I like a nice crumb of cake but bloody hell...


This whole cupcake fad has gone far enough, time to move on to more pressing matters...

...Tiffins?

Fantastic VISA ad...

Ultimately the same as the wedding version but with more warmth (if you pardon the almost undetectable pun)...

Well directed ad, love the progressive thinning as the ad goes on.
Let the floodgates of Africa/football related ads begin...

Penguin... the books not my secret love for the bird...

Penguin books...



Very simple ads from DDB Hong Kong. They really capture what it is to be reading a truly engrossing book and even have the cheek to make you feel jealous at the same time. Could possibly be boiled down even further but good use of the HDR technique.
Word to my Canadian compardre SoSticky for this one...

Old Spice ad...

My most sincere apologies for this getting to you after it has already had over two and a half million views...

What a completely brilliant ad.

Keiichi Matsuda's take on ARs future...

Augmented (hyper)Reality: Domestic Robocop from Keiichi Matsuda on Vimeo.



Call me a traditionalist but it's actually no joke, my phone lets me hear my friend voices so I don't have to go to them, it texts them so that I don't have to speak to them, it tells them where I am so that I don't have to interact with them. My phone tells me where places are so that I don't have to interact with people or look at a map, it even tells me which direction to go so that I don't need to know street names, I could go on...! If we aren't careful, in 50-60 we will just be blinking into cameras to control our possessions and communicate in the simplest ways possible. Then a real problem will turn up, the 'auto-save the world' feature on the planet will get an error message and an alien with long fingers and 13 brain cells will rock up and take over the earth by poking our corneas like a monkey playing with a new toy... or my imagination could be getting carried away slightly...

seriously addictive game number 2... maybe 3...

Die Antwoord... "he own's a pc computer"...
