    Brussel’s agency TBWA took the concept of a ‘splash of paint’ quite literally when it created this striking print ad for paint manufacturer Levis. Drawing a parallel between interiors and fashion is nothing new but rarely does it work so well, particularly in a print context. Sexy and commanding. Not usually word you associate with paint. - Lisa Evans 

This is pretty interesting…me likey

    Many of us have a fascination with graffiti art, and we sometimes even look over our shoulders to make sure no one’s watching when we scratch out our initials in a freshly laid slab of cement – or carve them into a wooden desk – or even scribble profanities across the stall door in a public restroom. 

The creative minds working for Sharpie, the ultimate in permanent markers, have discovered a way to satiate our desires to deface public domain. Interactive e-cast billboards have been scattered around cities, which allow people to experience the rush of creating their own graffiti. Choose some colors, write a message and Sharpie makes it possible for anyone to leave his permanent mark on the side of the bus stop or the public phone or anywhere else billboard adverting may be experienced. - Andrew J Wiener

    Life like print ads are sweeping the world’s most prominent cities. In Paris, Stringfellows strip club have put the pole into pole-dancing by cleverly designing their print campaign to work with existing lamp posts throughout the city. The ads are sharp, sexy, and almost interactive in their appearance, providing the ultimate X-factor that most advertising agencies only ever dream about. by Andy G

    This ad certainly hits us where it hurts, and that is exactly how Act Up works. Throughout the 1980’s, Act Up’s outing policies and political agendas were renown for both their extreme effectiveness and the controversy they
created. Outing closeted celebrities and politicians was a technique which Act Up were often criticized for. Wrong or right it got people’s attention. This recent ad displayed in French magazines is typical of Act Up’s advertising style, where shock value is the order of the day. A man doing a Sharon Stone ala Basic Instinct without his jewels! Now that’s shocking. by Andy G

    Is it an air bag or an affair bag? This new advertisement takes life saving air bags to a new and sexy height. The usually dull bags which inflate upon impact have caused controversy in the past over the fact that they actually can harm you upon inflation. These new bags are bound to cause even further controversy. Clever, funny and edgy , the campaign takes to the highways in a most ‘revealing’ manner. Could this be the ultimate SAFE SEX campaign? by Billy T via Sexculptures

    To raise awareness around World First Aid Day,  ad agency Downtown Partners placed life size realistic decals of a person at the bottom stairwells in Cineplex Odeon Theatres in Toronto. At first, the decal generates the impression that someone is lying down unconscious and needs help, but as you get closer, you’ll realize it’s just a picture on the floor with a call to action to visit www.redcross.ca for a first aid training course. Let’s hope it doesn’t freak someone out and give them a heart attack first. by Billy T

    washyourhands.tv won’t tell you anything you haven’t heard a thousand times from your mother, but maybe this time it’ll get through. 

Slapping life sized decals over the door on the way out of men’s bathrooms, JWT Toronto is drawing attention to hands and germs and things that spread.

Small stickers close to the doorknobs read “You washed. This guy didn’t.” or “92% of guys say they washed. 34% were lying.” with the website name.

At washyourhands.tv, there are virable videos that should put hand sanitizers on men’s must-have lists.

    These gravity defying ads for DTACK - Adhesive tape, use extreme examples for the tapes use in hilarious ways. As funny as it may seem, the humor is also very relevant in today’s age defying conscious society.

We think perhaps the male version of the ad may have been a little extreme! by Andy G
