So what's a girl to do when she's running from the cops, drops her stash of diamonds, gets arrested, get placed in a cop car to be hauled off to the police station to be arrested and have a mug shot taken? Stealthily slip out of her handcuffs while seated in the back of the cruiser so you can apply eye liner so you look great for that mug shot.

You Will Need to Pay Very Close Attention to This South African Anti-Gun PSA to Truly Understand it

gun_free_sa.jpg

I had to watch this PSA for Gun Free South Africa twice to really get it. It's very subtle. In an effort to turn the country into a gun-free zone or at least mitigate the fact that over 50 firearms are stolen or lost each day and that 18 people are shot everyday, the spot delivers the message, "If you're stolen gun was there, so were you. Hand in your gun.

Without Realizing, People Are Murdering Each Other In This Mexican Environmental Ad

help_save_us.jpg

Here's a beautiful piece of creative entitled Help Save Us from Publicis Mexico for Mexican environmental group, CEMDA, that deftly illustrates the effect humans have on their environment and how they re inextricably intertwined.

In the ad, we see a logger, a hunter, a driver, an ice fisher, all of whom are engaged in acts that are detrimental to the environment. With increasingly quicker intercuts, the ad drives home its point that humans are damaging the world around them. And as the ending is revealed, that damage has a direct affect not only on the planet but on people as well. .

This Plastic Surgery Ad Featuring Justin Bieber And Jennifer Lawrence Will Horrify You

the_plastics.jpg

Why do people do this? Why do they go to such great lengths to alter their looks when, in fact, all they're doing is making themselves look like inhuman freaks? Oh sure, a little nose job and breast augmentation here and there is fine but when you get plastic surgery because you want to look like Justin Bieber or or Jennifer Lawrence, there's a screw loose.

But if you're Pesky Sunder Plastic Surgery and your patients are a bunch of plastic types who have formed a musical groups called The Plastics to make a plastic surgery commercial then you just throw your arms up and say, "Fuck it. Bring it on." Otherwise YouTube would be filled with corporate product demo videos that could put an army of sugared-up kids to sleep on Halloween.

That's because it is a beer. A Carlsberg beer. It's a Carlsberg beer that looks like the moon in a Carlsberg ad created by BBR Saatchi & Saatchi Israel.

Gus Van Sant Directs Highfaluting Ads For BMW i8

bmw_i8_gus_van_sant.jpg

To introduce the very futuristic-looking i8, BMW enlisted the help of actors Michael Pitt (Boardwalk Empire), Sam Hazeldine (The Monuments Men) and Mickey Sumner (Frances Ha) who, directed by Iconoclast's Gus Van Sant, utter poetic hyperbole of epic proportion.

For a car as cool as this, we guess you can say just about anything. You know, like fashion ads. They make no sense whatsoever but they seem to build a brand just fine. SO prattle on and sell some i8's, BMW.
