When advertising goes bad - The bomb squad blows it up!
I could not love this story more.
As part of the upcoming movie launch, 4500 Los Angeles Times' newspaper boxes were fitted with a digital musical device designed to play the "Mission: Impossible" theme song when the door was opened.
But in some cases, the red plastic boxes with protruding wires were jarred loose and dropped onto the stack of newspapers inside, alarming customers.
So, logically, the county arson squad blew up a news rack, thinking it contained a bomb.
Oh, yeah, that's different that the usual "newsbox experience."

Ali G gets all NBA
Cool viral stuff from Ali G for the NBA. You can see all the spots in full here, here, here, here, with more to follow surely?
Nike Thermal Tight
Even though these ads bascially have no concept, an no copy (besides product name), the concept tells the story.
Cool design by Alan Clarke - but don't know the agency or market.

Gigarides don't stop
This print campaign was intended to compliment a series of television commercials for the Gigaride technology that promises "Unstoppable Cushioning." This campaign was developed by Nonbox. The team included with Creative Director, Steve Flood, Illustrator, Marc Gabbana and Designer, Matt Davis.
The agency had to work from an existing creative concept showcased in a series of 30-second television commericials. The commercials had the benefit of time to tell their story whereas the nonbox design team was limited to expressing the same message in one frame--be it a poster, window banner or POS insert.
Love it or Hate it
French designer Rachel Plefger's designed a t-shirt that reads both Love (in the mirror) or Hate at first glance.
The tees are available through Made in Design in Black or Red for about $35, but you will have to order them from overseas.
