Misfortune Cookies.

Hell of New Zealand is a pizza company in...New Zealand, I guess. But they like to do fun things. I'm not sure how Fortune cookies tie in with pizza, but I am willing to overlook that little fact for the chance to get the "Help! I am being held prisoner in a Chinese bakery" misfortune.

The Linkdown: Booyakasha!

1. Talk about a good f*cking cause.

2. I know times are hard in the Raptors camp, but this is the GAYEST thing I have ever seen.

3. Love this idea. I might do it in my own home.

4. That elevator is making me hungry.

5. Ladies, would you say yes to this marriage proposal? It was either you or Bulbasaur.

6. Bieber winning.

7. Holy sugar hill gange...I love this shoe.

8. This is really how the cosmos was made. And it makes perfect sense to me.

9. Gross tattos. Leave it to a girl to go above and beyond.

Diesel BJ Knee Pads.

Aha...so Diesel thought it would be funny to offer buyers BJ kneepads with $150 purchase over in India. The good part, is that it isn't that hard to spend $150 in Diesel. The bad part, women don't find BJ jokes all the funny.

But I guess if you are dating someone who spends $30 on a pair of underwear, you proabbaly want to keep him right?

Drunk Driving Billboard (Anton takes one too many shots).

Drunk driving is Russia is dangerous as hell. Imagine the series of events that take place that end with your dead body in a billboard. Nasty. Seat belts apparently haven't been invented yet over there. But I get it....Vodka.

You got box mouth.

OK....that's pretty good Y&R. Relevant.

Kudos.

If Sharks Tale happened in real life.

"Eat both squares please." Nice work from BBDO NY. Can't wait to make stuff that is this ridiculous (and the client approves it).

And then when you are done with that...check out this "no duh" ambient idea. Niiiiiiicccceeee (as long as it doesn't turn into some type of Saw movie).

"Dont Waste your Sperm (on all those koalas)."

I'm guessing there is some type of lack of sperm epidemic in Australia. Because when a sperm donor clinic has to place an ad (an gross ambient at that)....there has to be a dire situation going on.

"A fertility clinic in Australia placed an ad in FHM that caused the magazine's pages to stick together. When unstuck, the pages revealed a woman posing in lingerie...The message being—donate it at the Repromed fertility clinic instead."

I don't want to be that creative that nit picks. But....being a man, I must point out a simple truth. Men don't jerk off into magazines. We are evolved biengs. We use high class apparatuses (apparati?) like....tissues. And....paper towels. And....well, bed sheets. Also, I wish the line was different. "Waste of sperm" is not the incentive to make a dude anonymously donate his sperm. Lack of money is. You'd be surprised what you'll do in college for a quick $300.

The Linkdown. I'm a Week Behind...in life.

1. Antismoking ads for soldiers look like this. Cause in sweden soldiers like to have sex. And they also use gun.....

2. Alicia Keys died for a cause. Unfortunatly, no one else did and it failed. Wamp wamp.

3. Unfortunately, history shows that as far as Jets/Pats games go, it's completely the opposite 9-year-old boy.

4. But as a New Yorker, this makes the loss last night not a little less painful.

5. Inception in real-time. My brain breaths a sigh of relief. Now I can move onto Harry Potter.

6. Lebron is in Cleveland.

7. If you thought For Colored Girls was visual torture. But somehow, I love her more....

8. Hair in your food? Send it back, unless its...art.

9. Babies cost a fortune. Use a condom. I'm sold.

10. R.I.P.

Syphillis? Or wearing a condom during a BJ?

"...to raise awareness that STDs can be transmitted during oral sex, French ad agency Luvi Ogilvy created these fake lollipop condoms..."

I mean, I think we are all aware. We all sat through that class in highschool. But let's be serious here.....

Romanian Bloodlust.

This Bloody Red Water Fountain was located in Unirii Boulevard, Bucharest, Romania, This was a “promotion” somehow for Hemophilia awareness.

PETA strikes again, in NY.

At first I was like "Jesus, PETA." Then I was like, "This looks like a scene from Dexter." Then I was like "That dude in the foreground costs alot."

New Yorkers wouldn't pay that much for a dead mangled body. There are breathing holes in the plastic. Obviously not fresh.

"Ballman."

"'Ball man" a giant sculpture comprised of almost 3,000 footballs (that's soccer balls for those of us in the US) designed by Leeds-based Ratcliffe Fowler Design hangs in the atrium of the Carlton Centre shopping mall in downtown Johannesburg."

Very cool work by Nike, ofcoarse. I'm surprised there is nothing like this hanging in Time Square. America's new found love and excitement for football warrants that...no?

Being from a culture that loves everything about football (not me personally), you must excuse how skeptical I am about the citizens actually caring about football. Infact, I may have compared the current "soccer" hysteria with that of a child who gets a new toy, and soon forget about it a few weeks later.

But in the mean time....keep on drinking at those bars.

The Black Pixel Project.

Nice idea sponsored by Greenpeace. Saving energy at the cost of a pixel on your screen. I would totally be behind it...but a dead pixel on my screen makes my skin crawl. Jus the idea of it. It's like nails on a chalk board or evertime the movie industry says they are gonna make a movie out of a classic tv show. How can something so right feel so wrong?

Foot Ball Spec Ads.

Adidas from igor martinovic on Vimeo.

Apparently a spec spot for the upcoming World Cup made right here in NY, with kids from NY. Lovely job. Simple. And it proves that good stuff can be made without blowing millions of dollars. Ahem....Nike.

Bin Laden friend request...Accepted.

"....Amnesty International Portugal and Leo Burnett Iberia launched Tyrannybook, a social network dedicated to the surveillance of some of the world leaders who violate Human Rights the most. By building a global community of Human Rights defenders, this nonprofits organization aims to get more involved in the social networks during this year 2010, not only to gain the visibility inherent to the web platform, but also to facilitate the contact between the causes it promotes and the public. Thus was born Tyrannybook, a network that aims to generate a global consciousness about the countless atrocities that take place here and there across the globe..."

"The Tyrannybook will gain size and presence on the web each week that passes. In this first phase there are ten tyrants in the site: Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, Omar Al-Bashir of Sudan, Kim Jong Il of North Korea, Than Shwe of Myanmar, Hu Jintau of China, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, Thomas Lubanga Dyilo of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Radovan Karadzic of Serbia, Aleksandr Lukashenka of Belarus and Ramzan Akhmadovich Kadyrov of Chechnya. Taking advantage of the visibility of this kind of social networks, Amnesty hopes to get more support to the causes it promotes...."

I know. I know. I should be more impressed. But after reading the description, I was left kinda...like "AND???" Then I read makethelogobigger's concerns, which are valid. You sure as hell wont be registering onto any sites when your first born is up for grabs. And it all seems so, lackluster and not really thought out with a purpose. It's just a working wikipedia.

I mean, maybe there are some secret phases I don't know about or understand. I haven't gotten to the site yet, because of high bandwidth buzz. I guess the idea and use of a social media is timely. I can imagine the creatives involved thinking that they are shit right now. And they will probably win tons of awards within the ad community. But I can seem to get past the "AND...." It's like the scene in the movie"Dude Where's My Car" when they are at the drive in. I'm playing the person taking the order.

What happens after I accept the friend requests of tyrants? Can I poke them (no homo)? Do I get to experience mass genocides? Who is in charge of tagging? And more importantly, is Hitler on there?

The Gringo Mask.

Get yourself one. Especially if you are are....a Mexican in Arizona. The masks, are meant to offer “support and dignity to the Hispanic community in the United States.”

Like animal NY says...one does need a printer to partake (and a computer), so I'm not too sure how effective this will be. But it's funny.

Funny, in a "that's pretty racsist" way.
