Morons Don't Use Kayak

kayak_moron.jpg

A new campaign from Gerry Graf's new agency, BFG9000 for travel site Kayak makes it clear morons and bright people do not use Kayak when making travel plans. Why? Because only morons get to the top. And in business, getting to the top is a good thing. And, besides, when you're at the top you don't make your own travel plans anyway so trashing moronic top management, it seems, is all well and good for Kayak. Plus it makes the underlings who do use Kayak - to make travel plans for their moronic bosses - feel really good about themselves. An insightful win-win if you ask us

The Dumbest Semi-Sexy Ad You Will Ever See

alisha_lucik_blue_bikini.jpg

It's one thing to have a sexy bikini model or, in this case, a Lingerie Football League player in your commercial. It's entirely another thing to combine the use of that model with what can only be described as the kind of production crew that creates cheesy local cable commercials.

But when you do make that combination, you end up with this horror show from IT company International Enterprise Services which shot a commercial with Alisha Lucik in Las Vegas. And they couldn't even come up with their own concept opting, instead, to rip off another.

Volkswagen Passat Provides Pleasure Before Business

vw_passat_pleasure_before_business.jpg

Everyone has a morning ritual. Every ritual is different. Some roll out of bed five minutes before they have to be to work. Some wake up hours earlier. Most face the work week with trepidation. Some, though, find a bit of pleasure before the business of work sets in.

The family in this DDB Sydney-created Volkswagen Passat commercial find much pleasure and enjoyment in the early hours of the morning before the responsibilities of the work and school day set in. The allegory, of course, is that the car can handle all your needs. Though how a Passat is any better at this than any other vehicle goes unexplained.

Popping Balloons Tell Stop Motion Story For MTV Brazil

mtv_brazil_balloons.jpg

Well this is novel. Fresh. New. Different. And yet, a riff on an old favorite: the flip book. Dulcidio Caldeira from ParanoidBR sent us recent work the company did for MTV Brazil. It's really quite ingenious.

The one minute commercial tells a story using images drawn on hundreds of balloons which are then popped by a device with a camera mounted on a dolly which travels at a speed fast enough to pop and film 10 balloons each second. Caldeira tells us it took 24 hours to get the multiple shots needed to piece together the story.

If you look closely, you can see the dolly took several different trips down thr track to get the entire story told. Very cool. We like.
