Good morning Monday.
Nama Sutra asks How creative can ad agency names get? and lists oh-so-many nutty named. He missed Wexley School for Girls and uh.. Wow, there are are lot of crazy names out there, but my favorite is probably still Umovoacavalo because I have no idea how that egg got on top of the horse.
Last week was fun, Extended stay hotels new ad is a breath of fresh air, and I might even forget that horrid viral where some girl licks everything in sight, also Pfizer (of all clients) wowed me with some nice graffitti, while Aliens invaded ESPN and white-out can abort babies from teenage mothers life. We concluded that dust is revolting, Flash banners can hijack your clipboard and these Audi side assist posters deserve a second look.
I really liked the woman whisperer, bonus points for the actress' perfect impression of a nervous filly, I hated the Arby's thought ballons and I was really impressed by the stuntman who walked around giving out flyers while on fire. The whole Microsoft debacle deserves its own post. We talked like pirates for a full day as well.
Thanks modernmechanics for telling us "your car is well stacked" (Via easydreamer)

PermalinkSpeaking of people in ads, there's an ad (for beer?) showing Amsterdam, and lots of things happening around there. It it, there is a girl (female over 16, and probably under 50 yo) who is standing outside a row of houses and kisses her significant other. She has a strikingly similar hair color to yours, and I wondered if the ad was filmed when you used to live there, and we're seeing Dabitch of a few years back?

PermalinkI've checked and the ad is for "Amstel Light - Dam Good Beer - (2008) :60 (USA)" [see http://adland.tv/node/144073 ]

PermalinkNope, not me - you can spot a younger blonder me in Expressen Fredag and showing off my terrible acting skills in Robbies passport.
