adiColor Black released
Last of the series, the darkest of them all. Highly stylised, odd and somewhat disturbing this rounds out an eclectic series of films. You can see them all here

Turn the wheel and get your poster
From Argentina, this ad shows an unusual billboard (or "chupetes", as they would say). You push a button and you get your Nike poster. See it here

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.
