The World Of M

Some entrepreneurial start-ups are extremely innovative when it comes to naming, like in this post.

Again, this was taken when I was stuck in traffic. People ask me, “how do you get these things”. I haven’t got a trick really, just open your eyes and don’t accept the face value of things. Remember, there are two sides of a coin. Anyway, what’s funny about this company, is that if you [...]

Apparently in Europe the PS3 will take over the XBox 360 this summer and in France and Spain, it already has. But nothing compares when we’re told that Wii whoops both their bums, by outselling
the PS3 4 to 1! This ration was 3 to 1 in January and Xbox only managed to sell less [...]

I am pretty - I am pretty iconoclastic and cynical, but somehow I don’t seem to mind Google that much, although it is a behemoth growing at the speed of light. In fact, I use MANY of their web apps, which I find to be very handy, and because they’re not as “pretty” as physical [...]

Recently I posted an entry about Harrod’s “interactive” windows and lambasted them saying that three window displays with free lollipops ain’t gonna make people spend more there or “feel” what Harrod’s is about. They’ve now given an update on more installations by famous people. You still wouldn’t know what the whole campaign is about, since [...]

The world will soon bow down to awesome might of Tesco (and/or Wal-Mart, too, my American counterparts). Tesco, as we all know, expands their business like crazy, like a plague! Recently, like bunnies on Viagra, they’ve introduced more virus into the marketplace. First car insurance comparison website - because their car insurance is quite well [...]

A month ago, I started posting some funny signs that I’ve come across. Of course, I probably have come across hundreds, if not thousands, but this has only become one of my obsessions recently. And so I started sharing pictures of these wonderful nuggets here. Have you ever wondered where #1 - #8 are?
Traffic jams: [...]

I bet you know I enjoy spoofs, don’t you? Here’s one that I recalled seeing. Can you guess which ad it’s spoofing?
Clue: I’ve recently shown you. (shh…)

Previously I posted a spoof of the MacBook Air ad.
Now I’m going to share with you another spoof of the ad.

It’s silly little things like that that brighten up my day.

A brilliant follow up to my previous post; an ad for the brand I picked up in branchannel.
My question: why did they not pick prettier looking asses.
Is it because prettier looking asses will be picked up as explicit sex in advertising? And that by using “normal” asses, it is more representative of the general [...]

With technology we can use and spell (thank god for TLAs - Three letter acronyms) and nanotech,the only faces that we’re likely to see in future retail establishments are machine interfaces. We won’t need shopping lists and the Wal-Marts and Tescos can be as big as A city itself and we’re still going to be [...]

A follow-up to Lunar BBDO’s post.
Remember super ads like Sony’s “Balls” and Honda’s “Cog“? The follow up to Balls was tepid at best - which was disappointing - but Honda Civic’s, with an orchestra emulating the roars and squeaks and booms made by the Civic was, I thought, brilliant!
Then came that ad by Orange, of [...]

Remember when I posted a video showing an interactive display in the Shibuya district of Tokyo? Well now Harrods has launched their own interactive display too. It will have 60 installations and one of them contains vinyls strawberries and strawberry lollipops that customers can take away.
Apparently these “interactive windows are the future of window [...]

A rip-off of the Sony Bravia Balls ad.

Here’s another Honda ad that I really like. This one’s for the new Civic.
Not bad cars + Great adverts = Great car
