  • Two Ads That Drive Us Mad

    We don’t wish bone-snapping, skin-tearing pain on anyone… except the creators of these two spots – which both ran on the Super Bowl and continue to haunt us while watching our shows to this day. Please make this media buy end, God.

  • You Should Know About Michael Maciolek

    February 18th, 2008 / Comments (9)

    His resume says he’s a graduate of the University of Nebraska. He’s also a fine new talent we recently discovered. But by the looks of it, The Denver 50 and the Addy’s have already paid him heed.

    Check out art director Michael Maciolek’s website and see what a corn-fed education does for your skills. He’s done stints at a couple of local shops (Karsh\Hagan and McClain Finlon), but word on the street is he’s looking and available. Somebody grab this guy before he’s forced to move back to Big Red country. He’ll be sitting pretty in our list of Recommended Talent when you come to your senses.

  • Jackie Moon and Heidi Klum

    Don’t know which agency (if any) came up with this idea in partnership with New Line Cinema to promote Will Ferrel’s Semi-Pro, but it’s another killer concept in a campaign that’s been filled with them.

    This time, Jackie Moon is posing with Heidi Klum in a set of photos for Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit edition. Here’s a video from the shoot and here are the rest of the photos. So glorious.

    Mondo Robot looks like a pretty damn cool place to work. Want to find out if you’re worthy?

  • Attentats: Bin Laden

    February 18th, 2008 / Comments (0)

    This is a fine example of viral gone horribly wrong. It’s so obvious when agencies forcibly set out to create something they think will be passed around, instead of letting it happen naturally because of a strong concept.

    Listen to Bin Laden (who doesn’t even look like the real guy) and ban the French line of clothing Attentats now.

  • Tele2: Beatboxing Dog

    February 18th, 2008 / Comments (3)

    Forsman & Bodenfors in Sweden has got to be a rad place to work, as evidenced by the new Ikea site they developed, as well as the site for Tele2 featured below.

    The copy is in Swedish, but we assume the idea is that you can have the TV channel your way by telling it what to do (On-Demand?), just like you can tell this beatboxing dog what to do. Seriously entertaining stuff.
