I Smell A Lexar/Tiffany Merger.

Click to enlarge. Korean ad campaign to class up their flash MP3 players. I like the concept, have the tiniest problem with the Audrey Hepburn bastardization. Found at Akihabara News.

Seems that Audi is doing a new ad campaign by asking for help in finding a "stolen" 2006 prerelease model of their A3. Interested to see what they do with this.

Honda Has Great Ad People.

vrooooooooooooom!!

I've long been a fan of Honda's cog ad (provided below for those who haven't seen it), and even though the new "Sounds" ad isn't quite as groundbreaking, I have to give it its due. More info at BoingBoing.

What The Fuck Were They Thinking?

Cosmetics company VLCC thought it would be a good idea to take images of horror and tragedy and use them to advertise face scrub. Face Scrub. Ads of the World has taken them down, probably from explosive response.

The tagline: "Some scars never go. Indian Berberry face scrub from VLCC."

In the spirit of good taste, I haven't put the images directly in the post, but you can link to them.

The World Trade Center Disaster (Burning Towers).

The Bhopal Union Carbide Disaster (Dead Child). Thumbnail - can't find any other copies.

Hiroshima (Mushroom Cloud). Thumbnail - can't find any other copies.

I am all about clever advertising, even edgy advertising. Shame on designers M&C Saatchi. This is far too much, even in the "all publicity is good publicity" way. I will never buy a product from this company. Ever.

Curves? What Are These Curves?

I would have loved this more if it was all right angles. Tron and curves don't mix.

On a side note, kudos to ifilm for one-upping the YouTube player. That menu button is slick.
