Ads: Online business to business directory yellow pages united Buy embossers from All Pro Stamps Yakima Yakimagrams Sell Roof Racks Automobile rack make Yakima has launched Yakimagrams. Created by Stick and Move, the site lets visitors create singing telegrams and send them to their friends. There's canned Yakimagrams as well as options to create customized versions. We didn't spend too much time with it but it looks amusing enough considering there's really nothing all that exciting about roof racks. Earnhardts Honored In Father's Day Budweiser Commercial Award-winning documentary filmmaker and commercial director Stacy Peralta of Nonfiction Spots and DDB Chicago created a new commercial for Budweiser which honors three generations of the Earnhardt family's NASCAR success. The spot debuted on Father's Day, during the broadcast of the 3M Performance 400 from Michigan International Speedway Using stock footage gathered from The Earnhardt family, Anheuser Busch, The Associated Press, Getty Images, NASCAR and Sports Illustrated, and working side-by-side with his colleague, editor Paul Crowder -- who edited Stacy's documentary features "Dogtown and Z-Boys" and "Ridings Giants" -- the spot collects 50 years of the Earnhardt family's racing legacy and, of course, aligns it with Budweiser's support for auto racing. Ad Community Site Yields Award Winning PSA While this PSA for Action Against Hunger ran a year or so ago following the December 2004 Tsunami, it was created through a communal effort among members of the WheresSpot advertising community group. Copywriter Stefanie Wasserman is a member of WheresSpot and, through the community, she met producer and editor Yatin Parkhani with whom she created the PSA. The pair created a commercial that avoided typical post-disaster imagery and used, instead, puppets from the Brooklyn Puppeteers Coopertive . Yes, puppets. The spot tells the story of of a girl who was left behind without her family after the tsumani. The spot does have a happy ending as it does for its creators who just won a 2006 Telly for their work. Cisco Systems Unifies Office Life Communications company Cisco Systems has launched a new campaign centered around the typically nightmarish aspects of office life such as missed meetings, endless phone tag, conference call insanity, video headaches, wiring difficulties and all those other inane idiosyncrasies that make you wish for the days before the fax machine launched us into office technology hell. Ten videos cover just about every office technology nightmare except for the biggest one of them all. People. No matter how wonderful Cisco technology might be, no technology can connect people if there's no one there to connect to. If Cisco can solve that problem, office life might actually be something to look forward to. Golf Course Designed In Orbitz Game Travel site Orbitz has launched Orbitz Games, a community site on which people can help Orbitz build an 18-hole golf course by designing a golf hole and voting on those designed by others. By designing and voting, people can win airfare for two to anywhere in the U.S. It's sponsored by Golfsmith Golf & Tennis. Lynx to Unleash Billions of Babes With Bouncing Boobs In Bikinis Lynx is promoting its latest online stunt called Billions of Bikini Babes which will, apparently, air in the UK at 7:25PM on ITV1 just prior to the England versus Sweden football game. The trailer promises bikinis, babe, beaches and one guy that looks like he's in bikini nirvana. Dodge Says Shiloh Is Anything But Cute Beyond "far forward right hand page," most media people don't give a crap where their print ads appear in a magazine. Apparently, Chrysler's Mark Spencer does and he jumped, when called by People magazine, at the opportunity to place an ad next to the article about Brad Pit and Angelina Jolie's baby Shiloh. While the placement itself is a great one, the headline of the Dodge Caliber ad, "It's Anything But Cute," makes it one of the better ad placement juxtapositions in recent memory. Forgive the insane LeftlaneNews brandapalooza and baby facial coverage on the image. Why even botther? The image is already out there the world over. Sidewalk Marketer Calls Attention to Human Rights While in New York for the BDI Online conference called Web Video Goes Mainstream, I was on my way to meet a friend for lunch and on the way, I was approached by a guy representing The Human Rights Campaign, an organization that "envisionas an America where gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgenderpeople are insured of their basic equal rights." To fund the organization, he, of course, was trying to get people to donate. While I might donate, I told him I'd be happy to give a worthy cause some publicity. So here it is. Street marketer calls attention to equal rights for all. Naked Women Are Not Always An Exciting Thing Usually when a crowd sees a naked woman running across a football field, it's an amusingly pleasant site. That's initially the case in this spot but once the woman is dragged off the field, it becomes apparent she isn't there by choice and neither are thousands of women and girls who are trafficked to Germany during the World Cup for prostitution. A strong message. Axe Dude Gets Girlfriend While Axe may have made fun of guys without girlfriends in a previous campaign called Get A Girlfriend, they aren't completely heartless and have followed up that campaign with Got A Girlfriend. After watching the spot, you'll realize it really is more fun to plat quarters with your girlfriend that it is with a bunch of guys.
