Once Again, Boobs Distract From Ad Concept

Wait, what? There was a man with dollar bills stuck all over him while driving a speedboat in this Geico commercial? Really? Seriously? All we saw were two super hot, delectably delicious and bodaciously boobylicious babes lounging on the bow of another boat. Someone also told us there's a voiceover. We didn't hear a thing.

Guess we should have our eyes (and ears) examined.

Acute Paper Influx Syndrome Causes Lethal Cubicle Contagion

Paper kinda sucks doesn't it? Even in this digital age, stacks and stacks of the stuff still seem to overwhelm the office. Mobile business application brand Canvas knows this and can identify with the pain.

To tout the awesomeness of a paper-free world, the brand created a humorous video that highlights how it can stop the spread of the dreaded APIS or Acute Paper Influx Syndrome. In the video, office workers are attacked by creepy crawly stickies and, ultimately, have to be quarantined by the CEO.

Of course, none of this would have happened if the company had just used Canvas.

Creative Chocolate Bar Promotion Despised by Manufactuer

Well you've gotta love a great creative idea. And this Buzzman France-created work for French chocolate bar brand Milka is certainly creative. The agency put together a program based on the assumption the last square of a chocolate bar is the best.

Milka bars where then manufactured with one square missing. Those purchasing the bars were asked to decide whether they wanted that last square sent to them or to a loved one.
Great promotion. Although we're guessing the manufacturing folks weren't too happy with having to retool their production line to manufacture bars with one square missing.

Goofy Ad Urges You to Give Your Boss the Finger, Spend Time With Your Family

Oh how we all wish a goofy song like this would break out when a call or text comes in from our boss when we're trying to enjoy some down time with the family. Of course, the immediate reaction is to respond to your boss when he or she calls but after viewing this whacky video, you will be singing "No, no, no, no, no" over and over again when your boss calls you.

The ad, created by BBR Saatchi & Saatchi for Israeli telecommunications brand Partner Communications Company, is a bit of a public service announcement that wedges in a promotion for the brand's Orange Ultralnet.

'RoboCop' Teaches Abusive Soccer Parents A Lesson

You know the type. You can hear them a mile away. And you want to run right over to them and punch them in the mouth. Or you want to run over to their kid and rescue them from a lifetime of verbal abuse.

Yes, The Soccer Parent. Loud. Abusive. Idiotic. Moronic.

Well, the UK's Football (cuz that's what they call it over there) Association with help from Man+Hatchet created a video which aims to diffuse parental rage at soccer games.
