Guinness Life of a Dot

The little dot could be anything, even the Eden or the submarine you’ll see in this advertisement…

 
Instead, it chose to be a pint of Guinness.
This reminds me of the hula hoop in the Hudsucker Proxy movie.

Arizona ~ Daily Seizure from Repetitive Waterfalls

Arizona has been pushing this Seize the Day tourism waterfall ad:

This image is remarkably similar to ever other couple-traveling-and-visiting-a-waterfall ad.  Like this Hawaiian version.  Or there’s this shower ad that is missing the couple; presumably they’re in the shower instead.
This waterfall is quite beautiful, but this photo doesn’t really tell the story of Arizona [...]

Orangina Naturally Juicy Commercial

Notice the cute little dolphin that is supposed to mean that [...]

Facebook ~ Untangling organic agglomerations of technological chaos or just helping people hook up?

Facebook, when it was first started, was an exclusive club walled off from people who did not go to “elite” schools. Then as it started expanding, it was interesting to see which schools were slowly being considered as elite enough to get in. Before you knew it students who shared the same names wrote each [...]

Harrod’s hires a live cobra snake to guard expensive shoes

So, in a nice little publicity stunt, Harrod’s of London has hired (which I think means rented in ‘Merican) a real live cobra to guard a pair of forbidden shoes worth $120,000.  While several news outlets are carrying the AP story, none have done it as classily as Gizmodo, who have added a nice little COBRA [...]
