Go Daddy Girls Paint Hot Model in Super Bowl Ad

godaddy_sb12_legs.jpg

Perennial purveyor of prurient predilections GoDaddy has release the first of two spots it will air during this year's Super Bowl. The ad, which promotes the brand's dot-CO domain, is called Body Paint and features Go Daddy Girls Danica Patrick and Jillian Michaels who, together, paint the naked body of a model while talking about the benefits of a dot-CO domain.

It's pretty tame compared to previous efforts from the brand. As always, there will be a web-only version of the commercial available Super Bowl Sunday for viewers to check out. The second commercial, Cloud, will feature Danica Patrick and the Pussycay Dolls. That one may be a bit more interesting.

Samsung Previews Galaxy S II Super Bowl Ad

samsung_next_big_thing.jpg

We agree with David Gianatasio's assessment of the latest Samsung Galaxy S II commercial. You've seen the campaign before. It's the one in which eager iPhone fanatics line up for the next greatest thing while happy Samsung Galaxy S II owners mock the fanatics by explaining their phone already has all the features iPhone fanatics are waiting for.

The first outing was funny. Even the second was mildly amusing. This third outing, not so much. Created by 72andsunny, the spot is a teaser for what will be the product's debut during the Super Bowl.

Tropicana's Sun Illuminates Trafalgar Square

tropicana_trafalgar_square.jpg

Tropicana continues their Brighter Mornings campaign with a man made sun installation this morning in Trafalgar Square. At 6AM - one hour prior to natural sunrise - the man made sun began to rise. It will stay lit until 7:33PM this evening as well giving Londoners and extra three hours of daylight.

Created by Greyworld and taking over six months to create, the manufactured sun is 30,000 times bigger than a football, has a surface area of 200m2 and weighs over 2,500kgs. Its internal light source produces the equivalent of 60,000 lightbulbs, 4-million lumens of light.

Still it's no match for the actual sun but who doesn't love a little extra light now and then? Especially in Winter when it's so dark all the time. Check out the video of this morning's illumination and a "making of" video.
