DVR-Resistant 'Smushed' Ad Grabs Attention

While fast forwarding through the ads in a recent episode of "The O.C.," an ad from the Office of National Drug Control Policy's National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign caught our attention with it's DVR-resistant, slow-cut tactic. The ad, with only four "segments" is called Smushed and is part of the Office's Above the Influence effort. Apart from catching our attention by appearing as a "still" while fast forwarding, the imagery of a girl who looked like she'd just stepped out from under an industrial compression-like machine also caused us to stop, rewind and watch the ad.

The ad itself dealt with issues of peer pressure to be cool, to fit in, to drink, to get high, to be popular, to never say the wrong thing. This ad is one of six currently running on MTV, Fuse, The N, FOX, The WB, UPN and others. The online component appears on Yahoo, GameSpy, IGN and print ads appear in 23 magazines including Teen People, Skateboarder, J-14 and Playstation. The entire collection of spots, all of which are very good, and print ads can be seen here.

Magazine Leverages Adrants Weakness to Gain Coverage

Normally, we wouldn't give a crap about a magazine increasing its frequency and distribution but when the PR reps sends along an image of the magazine's cover with sweet looking bikinied babe on the front, our editorial crap detector simply ceases to function and other determining factors take charge.

So, Wave magazine, a South Florida-based boating and watersports activities publication backed by Knight Ridder, announced today it's doubling its publishing frequency to monthly and going national as it celebrates its second anniversary this month with a 132-page February issue. There. Everyone happy?

Pirated Music Is Like A Blow Up Sex Doll

Now here's an ad that clearly makes its point. The copy reads, "Almost like the original. Almost . Pirate CDs spoil good music pleasure." Of course, unlike sex dolls, pirated music sounds just like the original so perhaps this ad isn't as powerful as it could be.
