Model Wrapped Around Lamp Post Commands Attention

We don't know where this lamp post ad is or who the advertiser is but it certainly is attention getting.

Bouncing Breasts Call Attention to International Women's Day

To celebrate International Women's Day on March 8, Indian agency The Flea created this short clip which very simply asks everyone in the breast-obsessed world to look at women as more than a pair of bouncing breasts. It makes the point very clearly. Of course, it does so by highlighting the very thing it aims to eliminate. Then again, the whole purpose was to attract attention to the issue and what better way to do so then to show a pair of bouncing breasts.

Apple iPod Hi-Fi Busts A Window

Pastor Scott Hodge was walking down Chicago's Michigan Avenue yesterday and spotted this unique window dressing promoting Apple's new iPod Hi-Fi.

Walking, Singing Water Promotes...Yes...Water

It's All Advertising points to an Epica award winning ad for Evian which forces you to wait an excruciating two and a half minutes listening to kids sing Queen's "We Will Rock You" while water children travel across your screen toward the holy grail that is Evian. OK, perhaps "force" is the wrong word but while watching, we couldn't help uttering, "What the fuck is this? Hurry up. We've got other shit to do!" OK, that's heavy-handed too. Sorry. It won an award after all so it must be good.

Smint Helps You Speak Closer

Those folks over at Leo Burnett Lisbon do some nice work and this work for their chewing gum/breath mint client Smint is quite nice as well. Riffing on that feeling one gets when they are interested in meeting someone but just aren't all that confident their breath won't send that person running, the agency created a series of print ads that spek directly to that concern. See the whole series here.

Years of Spoofed Billboards Published in Book Form

From time to time over the years we've featured billboard spoofs from Dribbleglass. They are always funny, always twisted. Perhaps because they've amassed such a large collection of tricked out billboards, they've just published a book called Twisted Billboards along with a set of refrigerator magnets that feature the boards. Slap a couple on your fridge and tell your friends that's what you do for a living. It'll make for a far more interesting conversation then showing them your actual work.
