The Ribéry Pink Panther ad – a wonderful idea featuring a wonderful player (trust me, Bayern are pretty dicey without him). They’ll have a job on their hands convincing the average Sunday league player that he should wear pink footwear, but hey, full credit to them for trying.
The new MTV Switch campaign can’t help but remind me of the television show “Why Don’t You Just Switch Off Your Television Set and Go and Do Something Less Boring Instead?”
Badder than evil scans of “classic” movie posters. Well, OK, one man’s classic is another man’s unwatchable cack, but hey, anyone that doesn’t dig Three The Hard Way or Black Caesar can go suck a brown one.
Outstandingly original advertising for a sickeningly ugly vehicle. The “Bushman & Eskimo” ad in this series is equally compelling.
Ah, the Rubik’s Cube – possibly the most frustrating puzzle/toy/gadet/thing ever invented. Few people are blessed with the patience to complete one, discounting those, like myself, that opt for the “peel the stickers off and rearrange them” method.
Ad agency DDB New Zealand cleverly plays on the themes of time and patience in Rubik’s new campaign.
