Golf is hard

Sentosa_Singapore_Barclays_Singapore_Open__Pool_Table_1_ibelieveinadv

Though, to be fair, it’s not all that difficult to be “tougher” than soccer. That’s kind of like being “manlier” than Madonna’s Superbowl performance. I like the print piece. It does give you an appreciation for the sport – one that I have a hard time grasping, since it usually takes me 70-some balls to …

Waahhhhh, I’m a pet

National_Geographic_Dog_Whisperer_Parents_ibelieveinadv

Woof woof, I’m depressed. #DogProblems Line reads, “dogs have issues too”. Yeah, such as “Oh no, I shit on the carpet – now my obedient owner has to fix the situation”. Ads are promoting the upcoming season of bestiality guru Cesar Millan’s show, The Dog Whisperer. The cock-eyed beagle is money (pun intended). I would …

Felony Foam!

Line reads “Drive sober or get pulled over”. Sweet rhyme. Nice visual. Surprised a beer brand hasn’t come up with this yet. Good stuff. Happy Friday. Short sentences. Agency: R&R Partners, Salt Lake City ECD: Arnie DiGeorge CD: Kyle Curtis ACD: Patrick Buller Copywriter / Designer: A.J. Bell

What Your Lyrical Facebook Status Says About You

i-dont-always-post-song-lyrics-on-facebook-but-when-i-do-its-because-im-blazed-and-they-seem-profound-as-fuck

T Swift You’re emotionally unrealized. You have feelings you’d like to express but you’re not discerning enough to understand them or articulate enough to express them. Instead, you choose to hide behind the guise of ambiguous complaints about the scorn of teenage romance. It’s easier that way. Katie Perry/Kesha/LMFAO You’re a slut. You live for …

Can Smash

Pretty cool, I guess. Think I’d have rather seen the Heineken can smashing into an unsuspecting pedestrian or perhaps a cross-walking puppy. Fingers crossed for next time. Agency: Euro RSCG, Israel CCO: Ben Sever Copywriter: Oded Nadir AD: Alejandro Feldman

Eye Candy Friday

Some pretty CGI ads for something, agency unknown. Whatever. Is it Saturday, yet?

Read this discreet British spy ad

MI6

(via) The recruitment piece was recently placed in some English papers, and it is wicked awesome. Long live the long copy. For those of you that didn’t have good parents, MI6 is the British Secret Intelligence Service, AKA, Her Majesty’s Secret Service, AKA, JAMES FUCKING BOND. Where do I sign up?

Like a well-worn welcome mat

hiv_places_man

Ah yes, another “check-in” ad. I prefer this drunk driving one. But staring at peoples’ crotches is fun, too. I think they could’ve bumped up girly’s number. She looks like she’s in her mid-twenties; 20 kills is the 2012 equivalent of being a virgin. Bonus points to the photographer for insisting on a transclucent brassiere. Agency: …
