    Tired of the boring pre-flight announcements? Check out this animated video used on Virgin America. I hope other airlines will take some cues from Virgin, and not just the pre-flight videos.

    World AIDS Day… and condoms [NSFW]
    Posted by Ran


    Tomorrow, December 1st, is World AIDS Day and the french company Le Roi de la Capote (King of Condoms) wants to help. If you buy condoms on World AIDS Day they will give you a lifetime 5% discount, plus all the proceeds will be donated to the AIDS group Association Sida Info Service.

    To support World AIDS Day (and to advertise), they also made this Beautiful Agony style video of one of the most beautiful things in the world—it’s up there with babies and love, though not entirely unrelated. Oh, and of course it’s NSFW. You gotta love the French.

    Deutsch wins $150 Million PlayStation account
    Posted by Ran

    Flash Player required

    Deutsch, Inc. won the coveted $150 Million PlayStation account yesterday, beating out incumbent TBWA as well as Publicis & Hal Riney, Publicis West, Grey, Young & Rubicam, and JWT. Hopefully they do a better job than TBWA.

    While I really like TBWA’s latest PS3 ad (above), apparently it was too little too late. Really it was the first good PS3 commercial I’ve see. The other ones like the “room” campaign or the “this is living” campaign is just weird. I mean until this latest one, all the PlayStation 3 commercials just doesn’t appeal to the average gamer. Sure, they’re avant-garde and bear artistic merit, but that’s not what sells games. Check out some other ps3 commercials after the jump. All of which I’m assuming is by TBWA since they’ve been the PlayStation account holder for 13 years.

    Update: The last three are actually from PlayStation’s European ad firm. They’re still weird though.

    Some say he isn’t machine washable…

    … and all his potted plants are called Steve.
    All we know is, he’s called the Stig.


    On the next episode of Top Gear: rookie F1 prodigy, Lewis Hamilton, takes on the Stig. Hit the jump for a couple of videos honoring the Stig and a list of Stig intros.
