Fokkie, a new word??

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 15:45:00 +0200

Sign this petition! The concept of having a ‘fokkie’ (a coffee) is very creative and humorous. Now DGB and their client Douwe Egberts tries to put ‘Fokkie’ in the dictionary. Let’s help them!!

And for those who don’t know the ‘Fokkie’-commercials, click here.

Don't use Interglot for your ads

Fri, 06 Mar 2009 11:05:00 +0100

“De post” needs to hire a real copywriter instead of using Interglot, Babelfish or any other online translation tool. This copy is just a very bad word-by-word translation of the French Billboard.

Shame on you!

Get yourself a tan... a computertan

Very weird campagne, imo. Go visit the ComputerTan website and see what the fuzz is all about!

Go Veg or Not?

Thu, 29 Jan 2009 16:22:00 +0100

One of the most interesting moments in advertising land is almost there… the Super Bowl. Every year advertisers spent millions and millions on their TV-ads. Not only for the creation/production but also for the media space.

This year there is already some controversy about one of the ads. The ad of PETA is banned from TV. As you can see it shows several sensual situation, involving women and vegetables. A big no no if you follow the NBC rules. Remember Nipplegate?

I don’t get this. This is a pure act of hypocrisy! In a land where guns and violence are an everyday fact, nudity is out of the question and even banned from one of the biggest national broadcasting companies. Well, what they call nudity. Women in lingerie or bikini is not porn or nudity!

My old time favorite arcade game Street Fighter on YouTube. The best of 2 worlds combined?

A marvelous idea and perfect use for the annotations on YouTube. Who needs a remote?

The day the Allianz Arena broke down

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 10:56:22 +0100

This movie reminds me a lot of the movie with the ‘fake’ bombing of the Belgian Parliament. I don’t know the subject of the Belgian video, but the German one is for the new Keanu Reeves movie, The day the earth stood still.

This video was broadcasted between the two halfs of the latest Bayern Munchen Champions League game.

Some other buildings also collapsed.

The Virgin Dior Suicides

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 16:47:57 +0100

One of my all time favorite movies is probably The Virgin Suicides, directed by Sofia Coppola. She directed the new Dior commercial and it reminded me a lot of that particular movie because of the colors, the art direction, the music, the actress… well almost everything.

BURGER KING WHOPPER VIRGINS:

New Burger King campaign, done by CP+B. After the Whopper freak out, Whopper Virgins shows the world what people feel when they eat a Whopper for the very first time. These people had never heard of Burger King and did not see any commercial. Reality at its best.
