The brick “ad” is fantastic. I am all for quirky “inside jokes” (sports fans get it; others won’t) that look out of place. A random single brick in a restaurant will stir curiosity.

That seat belt Ad is ‘WARNINGFUL’ enough,i think the pix should remind drivers the aftermath of driving without using seat belt…..good concept.

Shaq = BRICK!
That’s a great ad – but I love Shaq Diesel. Oh well – sometimes the truth hurts.

Some of these
A. Bad. Conveying a poor (wrong) message about a product
B. Take too long to notice the message that can effectively be conveyed in an easier and faster way to notice and understand. Also bad.

A few “advertisements” that popped up around Wellington, NZ just before the premiere of “The Return of the King” are possibly also worth of mention. E.g. this, on top of the cinema where the premiere took place — http://www.chaosgeneration.com/gallery/kirsten/wellington/wellington_0130.jpg
An advertising agency had this poster up — http://www.iansmith.co.uk/lotr/weblogs/images/NewZealand2003/Monday24Nov/Large/ECCS2290.jpg — and this was on the other side of the road — http://www.chaosgeneration.com/gallery/kirsten/wellington/wellington_0144.jpg

Looking at the Coke-Pepsi cans with the straws, my take on it was the straw in the Coke can is doing hand stands and splits or something (exuding happiness), while the Pepsi straw is doing nothing ( no excitement) Then I saw it was sponsored by Pepsi, so I asked my co worker what he thought…he said, I think the coke straw is refusing to go into the can…Oh…I see…
Wonder how many other people thought what i thought?

How come I never see these ads in real life? Oh wait, I don’t have a TV. That may be why.

I’m sure the bubble wrap commercial is pretty engaging. It’s probably one of the best for word of mouth too. This is definitely worth a Digg and a post to my blog.

I thought all the ads were good in that they were pretty fresh – many concepts I’ve never seen before. The Smoke is Poison one with the cigarette on the tanker – I think it would have been better if the front would have been painted as the brown, or filtered end so that the exhaust smoke would have been coming out of the end of the cigarette.
I really like the bus one – nice use of venue!

Would love to see more that actually have clever headlines. Show me something in a Tom McElligott headine style and you’ve got my attention. I can concept clever visual metaphors all day along and stick a logo on.

This below advertisement is good for big insurance companies:
OUTDOOR VIEW: Sum high business men wearing suit, they are painting a wall or doing sum labor work (drilling – cleaning….) then suddenly limo car will be stopped near of them and two or three labors with big smile (and golden tooth ) they will get out of the car and washing the work.
Then go to other view (safe your future with (name of the insurance company))
