Ray Ban Will Do Anything to Keep You Watching

Here we have another Ray Ban video for the Never Hide campaign. Continuing down the path of arbitrary-but-watchable, a couple makes out all over town.

Yeah, that's the whole ad. And before you go, "WTF, dude, why is that watchable?" we have to ask, would you turn away or keep staring if you saw this in real life?

Slow Site Load Accompanied With Perfect Music

The musical track played during load time, alone, make this site worth the visit. So apropos. Apparently, a dude is waiting for your phone call and will pick up the phone at the exact time you call. Why? We have no idea but we do know it's the work of Dutch agency Brandbase. It seems Giles is stuck in the office until enough people forward the thing to their friends and the counter hits zero.

Losers Generate, Thoughts Advertise, Cannes Bingoed, Reebok Pukes

- We all know about consumer-generated content. Well, now we have loser-generated content.

- First there was Voicevertising. Now there's ThoughtVertising. On eBay, no less!

- Bored? Want to go to Cannes but can't? No worries. Forget that ego-fest, stay home and play Cannes Contenders Bingo and you decide who should win. Screw the judges.

- If Reebok really did make running easy, why would they feature a guy puking in an ad about running easy?

- Lowe is blogging about its "everything you ever wanted to know about the digital world" gathering

Women Wearing Jeans, Heels Sticks Head in Ground. Causes WTF Moment

Every once in a while you pass by an ad, do a double take and let out a WTF!?!? This is one such ad. Of course, we didn't physically pass by it. Rather, it flashed before our eyes during our daily trolling of Flickr for advertising-related goodness. And this is some goodness. Or weirdness. Of the aforementioned WTFness.

Anyway, we've got jeans. We've got high heels, We've got a green shirt. And we've got a woman with her head stuck in the ground or inside some recessed box of some sort. If we could actually read what language in which the board was written, would could share more but, alas, we'll have to depend on our worldwide readership to help us out here.

Virgin Atlantic Airways Does Barf Bags in a Big Way

We were shamefully unaware of Virgin's preoccupation with barf bags until this entry by AdFreak, though one can probably argue it goes hand-in-hand with the drugs > food lifestyle of their other obsession.

Anywho, the barf ... bag ... theme is something they're clearly committed to. With Crispin Porter + Bogusky holding the staple gun, Virgin's proceeded to affix three-foot-tall barf bags onto temporary walls around construction sites and scaffoldings in major cities like New York, San Francisco, Boston, DC and Chicago, the airline's biggest hub cities.

Each bag has a long tome across the front about the retch-worthy penny-pinching going down in the airline business today.

"What better expression of the current state of air travel than an air sickness bag?" a Virgin spokesperson dryly notes.

Under the tsk-tsky tagline "How did air travel become so bloody awful?", expect to see the campaign through mid-July.

Jack in the Box Celebrates McDonald's, Burger King 'Anus' Burgers

Keeping with its 'tude, feisty Jack in the Box is out slinging bathroom humor at the expense of McDonald's and Burger King referring to their Angus burgers as Anus burgers. Jack in the Box agency Secret Weapon Marketing CCO Dick Sittig, smitten with his work, says the spots don't go too far adding, "we talked about but stopped short of doing a spot on McDonald's Angus Pounder." Witty. Witter still: a man named Dick makes anus jokes.

You can view the two spots here and here.

Blueballs, on a Truck, Get Castrated, with Shears. KMLE Country Radio!

We're having trouble not wincing to the image of a woman slicing off a set of blueballs with garden shears, even if they are attached to a truck, and we're not sure what that has to do with KMLE doubling your paycheque, but oh, the sacrifice seems significant.

Thank Knoodleshop for future instances of truck castration, coming to a pick-up near you.

English Humor, We Think, Fills Pimm's Commercial

They always say the English have a different sense of humor and that is clearly on display in this new Mother/Feel Films-created commercial for Pimm's. The spot features comedian Alexander Armstrong on a summer tour of the UK acting, well, English. Anyway, you tell us if it's funny.

Schweppes Fruit Carbs Sophisticates Texas Cowboy

Now this is just weird. But leave it to an American to change things up while at a formal equestrian event. Created by one of our favorite agencies, Duval Guillaume Antwerp, this Schweppes Fruit Carbs commercial praises the "slightly more sophisticated cowboy."

Belgian Senate Candidate Offers 40,000 Blowjobs

Belgian NEE party senate candidate, Tania Derveaux, in an effort to thwart the efforts of candidates who were making what she claims to be ridiculous job opportunity promises, launched a campaign in which she posed nude and promised she'd create 400,000 new jobs. Men, being who men are, immediately responded to the campaign by emailing Tania to ask her for a blowjob. (Hey, it's got the word "job" in it after all.)

Ever the one to capitalize on the chance at more publicity for her cause, Tania plans to oblige her supporter's wishes and has promised to offer 40,000 actual blowjobs to those who sign up. Humorously, she's offering the shy and married ones a virtual blowjob in Second Life. All one has to do is sign up and agree to the terms of service.
