Kona Brewing Suggests Multi-Taskers Try Some 'Single-Tasking'
Delightfully toying with the ridiculousness of multi-tasking that has devoured the lives of "mainlanders," Kona Brewing is out with a new spot, Dear Mainland, featuring two Hawaiian brothers who think sitting in a meeting sending texts about another meeting where you'll send emails about the first meeting is, well, not so great. 'Morphing' Banners Increase Click-Through 83% [Study]

Hamburg-based MAYD has created a haunting commercial, entitled Hide, for fashion brand Paisley which makes interesting use of the burqa. For over a minute, we get a David Lynch-like vibe as cuts of a woman's face and a burka-clad figure are intercut with other delightfully odd shots like a turbin-clad man toasting a polar bear. Then...with full flair fashion ad dramatics, the woman pulls off the burqa to reveal...a very GQ-ish man dressed in a suit. That's followed by the tagline, Better Hide Your Man, which, we suppose, is meant to turn the table on the whole hiding of Muslim women thing. Nicki Minaj Removes Her Clown Make Up And Bares Bootylicious Curves For Wine Shoot
