Billboard wonders if you feel Bush nostalgia
February 11th, 2010 admin
This billboard, put up by some small-business owners in Minnesota, is causing some consternation on the left . But it seems reasonable to at least have a poll, so vote below. Democrats are reportedly working on a response ad, which is expected to look something like this . —Posted by Tim Nudd Well, do you miss the guy or not? ( poll )

Rhett & Link continue their series of local commercials with this spot for the Butt Drugs pharmacy of Corydon, Ind. Obviously, with that name, this ad wrote itself. (Presumably, Butt Drugs fills lots of orders for AcipHex .) As always, check out their behind-the-scenes video , too. —Posted by Tim Nudd

DDB Stockholm created this clever and simple interactive billboard game for McDonald’s. Menu items bounce and fly through the screen. If you’re quick enough to capture one in a cell-phone pic, it’s yours free at a nearby McDonald’s. This has more upside than the interactive McDonald’s board in Picadilly Circus that just...

Ryan Abshagen, an unemployed 18-year-old from New Freedom, Pa., might have a future in the ad business. Or fundraising. Or media consulting. He sure won’t be working for the Buffalo Bills after raising $1,400 on the Web to buy a week’s worth of time on a digital billboard, which he’ll use to demand the ouster of Bills coach Dick...

You’ll definitely want Travelers insurance before you go on safari. In one of its new ads from Fallon, the company claims to be able to subvert the laws of nature for safety’s sake. I don’t care how sexy Flo’s lips are, she can’t make lions and zebras be friends. A second ad, posted after the jump, illustrates why offroading...

A homeless man named Danny has been sitting atop a billboard in Austin, Texas, since Tuesday morning as part of marketing stunt by a local homelessness advocacy group. The dual goal: to get Danny a house, and to raise awareness of the issue nationwide. The campaign, devised by marketing agency T3, urges people to text the word “Danny”...

So, the Lane Bryant ad below is causing a fuss , though it’s unclear if ABC and Fox really don’t want larger women in their underwear terrifying prime-time viewers, or if Lane Bryant has orchestrated a fake scandal for PR purposes. One thing’s for sure: In the pantheon of sexy lingerie commercials, this is about as tame as they...

These Ad Council spots from Grey, addressing mental-health problems, are well intentioned, and no can argue that the loving support of friends goes a long way toward helping folks get well. Still, the behaviors on display here are odd all around. In the spot below, a slacker type shaves his buddy’s back, and the two discuss waxing. Sure, it’s...

The DirecTV commercial with Chris Farley (for which David Spade was reportedly paid $200,000 ) seems to have disappeared from the airwaves, and has been replaced by the Wayne’s World 2 spot above with Dana Carvey and Kim Basinger, neither of whom perished years ago from drug abuse. I wouldn’t classify this as a famous movie scene. Garth...

The award for most memorable headline of the week goes to the Toronto Association of Business Improvement Areas, whose new ads promise that Toronto businesses treat their neighbors right —up to and including a little chicken-jerking. Ed Pottinger, shown here in his West Indian restaurant, should expect long lines from now on. Via Tabloid Prodigy...

Having done the bleeped-out-obscenities thing for its obscenely popular “Swear Jar” spot (recently voted the best commercial of the last decade by Adweek readers), DDB and Bud Light go for the visual equivalent in this sequel, called “Clothing Drive.” Instead of adding to their Bud Light haul by swearing, here the office employees...
