Late Night Vancouverite: P'Eatzza Invasion

peatzza.jpg
It was another crazy Monday at the other job, and it's getting quite late, so flip on the hi-fi, lay back on the old bear skin rug, put on your trusty ascot, and pour yourself a brandy. It's time for some relaxing links. First up, some things from the world of advertising:

*I like the fact that The Superficial's new advertiser, kind of looks cool. It's Altoids (w/ a crazy website too), and the sponsor banner says, "Curiously Strong Gossip brough to you by Altoids Sours." Perfect. And the added bonus of Christina Aguilera and her red lips vamping it up at a Maxim party.

*Mark Cuban makes a related point, that the key to advertising in the future will a return to live commercials.

*What the hell is Target up to with these crazy little ads. Discuss.

*Ad Age redesigns and drops any sign ins to read the articles. Nice for us.

*Did you catch any of the Apprentice tonight? The P'EatZZa Sandwich? Come on - that is a joke right 7-11? Isn't it?

*Old Navy demonstrates just how crazy inhouse creative teams can be. Warning.

*Three Olives ads and the magic of fluke hidden value.

*And now, for something completely different. Seven tv ads. 1. New Gatorade ad, "Birth" by the amazing Neill Blomkamp. 2. Sprite's "Bus" is crazy and full of gremlins. 3-5. New Kia ads featuring a Mime, a comedian, and a yodeler trumping the insights of quiet, spaciousness, and performance. 6. Nike Maxsight. Who new Nike was making contacts. Creepy. 7. Nice little Playstation ad. Simple, but deliciously shot.
