I love when companies take punches at each other, and since BMW had there S1000RR Ad, Aprilia decided to take a solid punch at BMW. Taking the table cloth magic trick and turning it around, Aprilia view themselves as motorcycle company building true racing machines and the Ad says it all. But I still love both machines, you can’t ever have too many machines to ride!
I don’t know whether to think of this as not safe for work, or if its disturbing, or if its hot. These images bring new meaning to bony women, or starved for that matter. Instead of the usual sexy pin-up calendar you see at a mechanic’s workshop, you can now see these calendars in doctor’s offices. Taking models in provocative poses and using an X-Ray type photography machine to take the photographs, I’m still not sure where how to categorize this but some will like it, some will think its bizarre, and I don’t know what else you could think of it but thats creative advertising.

Now this is one of the coolest and most original ads I have seen from any car manufacturer. Kia has taken it to another level as my brain comprehends that hamsters are rapping Black Sheep’s The Choice is Yours. Its just over the top advertising that vehicle manufacturers and other companies should be taking into consideration, its just original and fantastic. I don’t even know what the Kia Soul is but now I will remember it for sure.
This reminds me of the BMW movies back in the early 2000s when they had this crazy storyline about driver who was either James Bond or The Transporter. Driving arnound in the 7 series or 5 series kicking ass and saving people. Now Audi is taking the same idea of guns blasting, car chases, explosions with the Audi A1 and making a mini-show out of it.
The Egypt Tourist Authority has decided to Rebrand their logo and whole theme, so they went to JWT for their services to come up with a new and unique theme. I like the overall look and the advertisment itself is pretty good. I think Kuwait needs to rebrand a lot of its different entities with some of the advertising agencies, it would do them good for a refresh.

This is one of the funniest car rental ads I have seen, the best part are the costumes. Seems like a new luxury car rental agency has opened up in Los Angeles, as the dream goes if you have a nice cars then the girls will follow and these guys are living their dream. The best part of the whole thing are the bear suits, beating the crap out of each other with the suit on and then driving back with them is genius. Renting the Audi is ridiculously expensive in the states, I was surprised to see that it was more expensive then the California.
Recently I have been seeing more Wataniya Ads then the other providers, more ads on the street and newspapers. There are certain things that I think should be red, and I do like Wataniya’s branding its just they have been a bit on the quiet side while the other two squabble a lot. A friend of mine has both a Wataniya & Zain number, he uses both consistently, and he has experiment with the two and for some reason Zain is consistently more expensive, he always gets a higher bill. I have come to the conclusion that having a Mobily Saudi line in Kuwait is cheaper then having a Zain line but I have take a closer look at later. Going back to the main subject, I was searching Wataniya earlier and stumbled upon their Youtube Channel, its nice seeing big companies using tools that we use, I really liked the 10th Anniversary Ad. I honestly prefer the original red flag of Kuwait then the current one, it feels original and full of pride, click play below to see the ad.

This isn’t a video that I would play in the office, but Michael Bay knows how to make his movies. In Transformers a humanoid Decepticon played by Isabel Lucas, and she proceeded to seduce Sam, piss of Mikaela and tear up an entire college campus. Unlike the other Decepticons she took a more deceptive form and now there are other beauties lined up for the Victoria Secret Ad.

I don’t know what to make of this ad, looks like some sort of dog speaker ad. Quentin Tarantino is talking in Japanese and listening to the commands of dog, with a white woman on the other end. I knew Japan had some crazy ads, but this one has Quentin Tarantino so it has to be product that people must have. Also there is a cool looking talking dog, I would mind having a dog like that.

350 is about bring down our carbon output to that amount since its getting hotter and hotter, then there was the walk in Kuwait a few weeks back. Now there is this advertisement with models trying to depict whats the best way to convince your politicians to help with climate control. Interesting Ad, but I wouldn’t play it at work.
