Twitter in Real Life.

This is most likely the reason first time users of Twitter stop, give up and bad-mouth it. I can’t blame them after watching this.
A message to the people who think Twitter sucks – You ARE FOLLOWING IDIOTS. If you followed the right people, Twitter is Awesome.

Philips Cinema: Police vs. Crazed Robber Clowns in Bullet-time!
Philips Cinema has launched this really really cool ad that keeps you mesmerised by it throughout the entire two and some odd minutes it plays for. The scene is a robbery at a hospital by lunatics dressed as scary-looking clowns (something I think would be very at home in a Batman-Dark Knight scenario). The entire thing is in bullet-time in which a single moment.
I would have liked a point to the entire story (maybe I’m missing it), but I think the main point is not the content but rather the ad itself. Obviously because this is an adventure supposedly purporting the beautiful benefits of having a Philips Cinema.
I would definitely say it’s effective advertising. I want a freaking Philips Cinema now.
Check out the ad… be blown away.

Ewwww! – Iggy Pop’s Insurance Peddling Antics
My only reaction every single time this idiotic ad for swiftcover, the UK Insurance company came on was “What the F@&*?!?!?” This has got to be the worst ad I’ve ever seen, very worthy of the switch-the-channel-everytime-it-comes-on habit. Yech. And Iggy Pop… what the hell were you thinking?
The first comment on the Youtube Video site sums it up pretty well.
Oh Iggy what have you done?
You were THAT desperate for cash?
‘Get a life’?
This sort of life? Not exactly the same as Lust for Life is it Iggy?
Any other lifestyle recommedations Iggy, like McDonalds or Starbuck?
Indeed.

ABSOLUT’s Currency with Kindness Campaign

ABSOLUT has this really interesting campaign (I think so) in which we see this parallel universe where the cash is kindness. Can you imagine buying food at a restaurant and hugging the entire staff as payment, or how about kissing the cashier when buying movie tickets. hmph.
You can view the ad itself at Adgabber – Kindness as Currency. The entire campaign is a big departure from ABSOLUT’s previous campaigns but at least its fresh, I think I would be really bored and not even bothered with putting up this blog post if it was yet another re-incarnation of that bottle imprinted on another art piece.
Thing is, apart from the marketing campaign, they are also taking it to the real world with the UK-based conversation agents ‘We Are Social’.
London’s cinema-goers exchanged compliments and high-fives for free snacks and drinks; at participating cafes, caffeine junkies were granted free coffee for a smile. – Adrants
You can keep track of other random acts of kindness done by the campaign by following @AbsolutKindness on Twitter. Or you can check out more of the effort at the dedicated microsite.
Right… now that the marketing bullshit is out of the way. I don’t believe Vodka is able to make you a nicer person and you have to admit that this is more marketing bullshit to sell more drinks by duping everyone into believing random acts of kindness are due branded vodka.

How absolutely cool is this comic book cover! It’s the Amazing Spiderman #592 Wolverine Art Appreciation cover and it emulates Dali’s style perfectly. I really, really like this. I wonder if there are any more, Google here I come.

Awesome: Deconstructing the Al-Jazeera Logo
A close friend of mine, Mohammed Nanabhay, posted this awesome animation showing the deconstruction of the Al-Jazeera logo.
The Al Jazeera logo is a calligraphic rendering of the arabic word Al Jazeerea (which means the “The Peninsula”).
The animation was posted on Wikipedia.

Absolutely Beautiful Stop-Motion Music Video

Beautiful Stop Motion Music Video. The song is ‘Her Morning Elegance’ by Oren Lavie. Gorgeously done with appropriate lighting and effects. Stop Motion art at the best I’ve ever seen it. I wonder if there’s any more like this on the net.

Good For Budgets: The Trillion Dollar Marketing Campaign
I like this. Nice concept too using Zimbabwean Dollars to market an independent newspaper in a country where the currency is worth less than the paper it’s printed on.
TBWA\Hunt Lascaris South Africa are running a campaign for the independent newspaper, The Zimbabwean, which is actually produced in the UK. The campaign uses all those worthless high denomination Zimbabwean dollars (Caused by the governments useless policies) so the campaign actually does cost Trillions.

Brilliant Vampire Marketing Campaign
I just love this campaign from New Zealand for the upcoming season launch on HBO, TrueBlood.
Perfect mix of two things I totally dig, great marketing and cool vampire celluloid :) They should also hand out ‘Stake’-like toothpicks, shaped like crosses. Any other ideas?
