Very cool in my opinion and apprently developed internally. Nice.

New AIDS Awareness Campaign – Strong Stuff

Wow, this is strong stuff. The new campaign, designed by Regenbogen e.V. in conjunction with the advertising agency ‘das comitee’, speaks in clear terms: its slogan is “AIDS is a mass murderer“. It features the greatest mass murderers in recent history having sex (including Hitler – featured in the video below). Thoughts? Check out the site and view the advert.

DDB Brazil Facing a Tsunami of Critics for their WWF Advert

Blatantly obvious attempt to crank up buzz but how far have they overstepped the mark? Thoughts?

Coldplay – Strawberry Swing Video

To be fair to Coldplay they do tend to have some quite interesting and creative ideas when it comes to their music videos. The Scientist and Life in Technicolour are two that I’ve particularly liked recently.

However, I think the Strawberry Swing video is now my favourite. I love the style and flow of the video.  The best music video I’ve seen in a while.

Gordon Brown vs. Cassetteboy

Great mashup of a Gordon Brown speech – courtesy of Cassetteboy.  Quite apt – seeing as the ‘stop the BNP’ elections are taking place today. Will I vote? Probably not – have more important things on mind at the moment, like whether to renew my season ticket or not. Enjoy.

Also, check out Cassetteboy’s Apprentice mashup – also v.funny.

Ryan Giggs and Thierry Henry Viral

Reebok viral featuring Ryan Giggs and Thierry Henry in conjunction with tonight’s Champions League Final.  Incredibly cheesy – but I still like it.

Rihanna’s Naked Pics

It seems as though almost every celeb on the planet is being caught out in a ‘naked pics shocker’ scandal.  Now it’s Rihanna’s turn. Can’t tell whether they’re real as the only ones that include a ‘headshot’ show Rihanna fully clothed. What do you think?

The bigger question, for me, is how dumb can these celebrities be? Time after time they keep being caught out. I suppose that leads me to the question: is it coincidence or is it carefully planned? The cynical, marketing side of me suggests that this is a massive PR stunt. If it is, fair play to Rihanna as she has a body that will triple record sales off the back of this.

If it was Vanessa Feltz, on the otherhand, I wouldn’t bank on the same level of publicity – or maybe I’m wrong?
