Michael Phelps Partners with Subway

I'm sure the drug hoopla is still not quite out of the picture yet but it looks like Michael Phelps is gaining some trust back by partnering with Subway. Though the commercial was done in a very typical Michael Phelps style which pretty much requires him not to say anything besides nod and smile...such an awkward looking kid. In other news...doesn't it look like Jared the Subway spokesperson is gaining some weight? haha... I don't know...it looks it!

Bleeding Billboard

This is video of a billboard in New Zealand that bleeds when it rains. It's pretty terrifying, but according to the ad agency, there hasn't been a fatality since.

Dunkin Donuts Woos South Korea

Dunkin..probably my favorite coffee around, perfect taste..perfect look and best donuts in town. I was excited when I saw a new Dunkin spot airing in South Korea where few people have a morning coffee habit. Let's see if it works...after watching the commercial and using Pump It from the Black Eyed Peas, they really want to portray Dunkin as the morning pick me up. Start your day off alert...have a Dunkin! Orrr what's your take, drop me a comment and share your thoughts!

Pepsi's 1984 Ad Featuring Michael Jackson

In memory of the King of Pop watch a 1984 Pepsi ad, which features a boy who unexpectedly encounters his idol Michael Jackson while imitating his dancing. I can't believe an ad like this even worked back then! What I did find interesting though is that Pepsi has continued it's same advertising message since 1984....something along the lines of creating a new generation and creating a new fresh outlook on life. I would love to write more but after the flight I am feeling pretty jet lagged which inevitably causes a lack of motivation to do any kind of writing.
