Mad Men Yourself


MAD MEN, the AMC drama, takes cable television by storm, stomping onto the screen with loads of style, sex appeal and, of course, sophistication. The setting? 1960's New York -- A.K.A. the Three-Martini Lunch era.

Look to your left. See the refined gentleman, mingling and mixing it up? The Grey Suit Guru, commanding attention, with his shiny black briefcase, purple hair and dirty martini? That is my avatar, my Mad Man avatar.

Kia Soul Microsite




David&Goliath, an LA-based ad agency, created this highly interactive website.

Two words aptly describe the experience: engaging + playful.

I ran across the site several weeks ago and immersed myself for two hours, maybe three -- sad, I know.

Nice work, D-n-G!


WAY Funny



This FiberONE commercial, Gravity, is ridiculously funny. 

Warning: be careful about sipping carbonated beverages while viewing this spot, as they could -- and most likely will -- erupt volcano-style from your nose.  

Did I just oversell it? Okay, okay, just watch Gravity -- and you'll see what I mean. Promise.

Adidas: Veronica


Bravo, RIOT ( a badass UK agency). 
Smart concept - check. 
Great sound track - check. 
Strong execution - check. 
Check it out, it rocks -- folksy-bluesy-style. Veronica's proud and humble smile at the very end 
of the spot, where she glances to her right and squeezes out a quick grin, reflecting on her 
lightening-quick speed, is priceless. Honestly, I can't stop watching this spot. To date, I've 
watched it over fifteen times, and I just stumbled upon it yesterday. Join me, and 
take
more than a couple ganders.

A Windscreeen So Clever, It Wipes Itself


Luckily, while perusing planet www, per the usual evening wind down, I stumbled upon StumbleUpon.com, which discovers websites based on your interests. Shortly after setting up an account and familiarizing myself with the site, I found Bannerblog.com, a website that houses some of the best Flash and Rich Media banners from around the world.
Check out this interactive banner for Ford Mondeo, created by Wunderman, Australia. This ad quickly engages consumers, while highlighting Mondeo's innovative new feature. Interact with it here!

Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth


I've actually punched a shark in the mouth while surfing. Terrifying? Duh. Satisfying? You bet. But a dolphin? Never. These playful mammals are stronger and smarter than sharks. They're like bodyguards for surfers. Blah, blah, blah. What I mean to say is, this comic is nothing short of hilarious.

Bacon is Better


6 Reasons Bacon is Better Than True Love

I saw this title and thought, there has to be more than 6 reasons.
