thedzigner, on 05/27/2008, -6/+98I've seen most of these, but the Drink Driving one is awesome. I've never seen it before.
Nice collection!
- FadieZ, on 05/28/2008, -0/+8Seriously? That was the only one I had seen.
ian08, on 05/27/2008, -17/+23Dugg for the mighty mouse making an appearance in the Dettol ad.
- bxblox, on 05/27/2008, -1/+23...
- willaggs, on 05/28/2008, -2/+7I have a mac and didn't like the mighty mouse. I kept clicking the side buttons inadvertently. Now I just use a dell two click one.
  - MadOtaku, on 05/28/2008, -2/+2I don't understand why people give the mighty mouse such a hard time; I got used to it after about a minute at the store. Don't get my wrong, I don't think it's a great mouse (I love my Logitech gaming mouse!), but it's not as bad as people make it out to be.
Surferess, on 05/27/2008, -5/+16These are fantastic.
DwayneTucker, on 05/27/2008, -20/+4These are soo Damn great :) just dugged it
- str1fe, on 05/27/2008, -2/+8Dugg is already past tense. You don't need to add the -ed.
  - LtXenodite, on 05/28/2008, -0/+2You don't need the "es". Just "Me llamo Brian."
- transfix, on 05/28/2008, -2/+3LMAO :D
Omek, on 05/27/2008, -13/+8love the bench...hahaha.
lunabee, on 05/27/2008, -10/+14Love the bus stop one hahahah
- c0baltfish, on 05/28/2008, -0/+3Why wouldn't someone just break the hinges off and take the whole display?
SilenceIsFoo, on 05/27/2008, -9/+4Love it!
brantw, on 05/27/2008, -7/+4Good stuff.
redheadguy719, on 05/27/2008, -6/+56i don't get the obesity one...is there something else I'm supposed to see...what's creative about a fat guy?
- shutaro, on 05/27/2008, -0/+50You mean you can't see the sailboat?
  - CrudeDarkness, on 05/27/2008, -1/+16I dugg you up for reminding me of that one. Up until this day i still can't see it. I feel left out.
  - cannabrain, on 05/27/2008, -1/+7I did.
  - minnymoo, on 05/27/2008, -2/+10i just shat brix.
  - wrathchilde, on 05/28/2008, -0/+17It's not a sailboat, it's a schooner
  - basevillin, on 05/28/2008, -0/+15I don't see *****. You liars.
  - ZigVicious, on 05/28/2008, -0/+28anyone care to outline it in paint or something, I can't see it. feel stupid.
  - sykotik, on 05/28/2008, -0/+14HAH. I wonder how many people are furiously scanning that page to see the "sailboat."
    
    Good movie by the way.
  - DraxusD, on 05/28/2008, -0/+9seriously though... is there anything to it other than the fat guy? I don't get it
    - sykotik, on 05/28/2008, -0/+5I wish I knew. I keep looking, I'm just not seeing it if there is.
    - quib, on 05/28/2008, -3/+1hey! I think I may have figured it out..I think it's an optical illusion! I was staring at the image, and if you focus on the text in the middle, it looks as if it's falling veryyy verry sloowww. Does anyone else see it???
- doublsh0t, on 05/28/2008, -0/+3I think it's a pretty stupid ad really, but I think their point is that you have to stop moving or w/e to read it.
- DarkoKun, on 05/28/2008, -0/+18It means if your running obesity can't catch up to you.
- achoi, on 05/28/2008, -5/+1It's more like a double entendre than a visual thing.
  
  Since fat people are out of shape, they won't be able to 'catch up' to the people that are running; i.e. exercising/fit
  The alternative interpretation is that you'll be able to leave obesity behind by running away from it.
  
  Eh, that one was pretty lame.
  ... is this what it feels like to dissect a frog?
  - brownspank, on 05/28/2008, -0/+1Dissecting frogs are much more fun than you think! Ever tried to splash water on the extracted heart to get it to beat again?
cjwhitaker, on 05/27/2008, -8/+3Excellent!!!
- Knucklecallus, on 05/28/2008, -2/+2Oh, just outstanding!!! This deserves three exclamation points!! Oh, wait, maybe it only deserved two!!! But that one deserved three.
  - kidathinnes, on 05/28/2008, -0/+1buried for being an *****
vovka3, on 05/27/2008, -3/+23It's not a Canon! It's a Nikon!
- thbirdman, on 05/28/2008, -1/+6actually it's a yodobashi
  - FiercestCalm, on 05/28/2008, -1/+2Yodobashi is the name of an electronics store.
  - gadgetlust, on 05/28/2008, -0/+4True enough, but he's right, it's not an ad for Canon or Nikon, but for the store called Yodobashi Camera.
- bradg2, on 05/28/2008, -0/+5Thank you!!! I logged in just to digg you. I thought I was the only one who noticed....
  
  (you can tell by the red on the grip)
mnemy, on 05/27/2008, -3/+57I wonder if the money in that glass advertisement was real. Cuz you wouldn't have to break the glass, just pry it apart.
- puter, on 05/28/2008, -0/+16There's a little link in the description of the picture that will answer your question.
  - yacks, on 05/28/2008, -0/+13and for those who don't want to click on the link from Gizmodo
    http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/3m-security-gla ...
    
    3M was so sure their Security Glass was unbreakable, they put a large stack of cash behind it and shoved it in a bus stop. Great advertisement, right?
    
    Actually, it was only $500 of real currency stacked on top of fake money, and people could only use their feet to try to break it. A security guard was present to make sure no one broke the rules and that people couldn't get to keep the money if they broke it.
    
    Nevertheless, a glass that can stand a double-footed kick from a man with a 30 foot head start is impressive. Don't you wish your iPod screens were made out of this?
    - puter, on 05/28/2008, -1/+0Promoting laziness, bad you :)
- ezekielnin, on 05/30/2008, -0/+0Too bad I wasn't there ... I would tornado kick this glass out!
smartcause, on 05/27/2008, -0/+112How come the bus stop by my house doesn't have a window filled with money? My sledge hammer continues to go unused.
jakerator, on 05/27/2008, -20/+1therichestbanner.com - look at this. maybe the new way for advertisements. here the images are changes in real time
- str1fe, on 05/27/2008, -0/+3What's the new way, posting links in digg comments?
- penguinofspades, on 05/27/2008, -0/+3images are changes in real time? my god, this must be the future...
EdwardNigma, on 05/27/2008, -1/+31Unbreakable glass eh? We'll see, We'll see... >:3
- wushu18t, on 05/28/2008, -0/+2seems like a challenge. but, i wonder if you actually tried (even though you know you probably be able to break it) to test their implied claim will you get in trouble with the law?
- Oppslagsverk, on 05/28/2008, -0/+8Fake money, it's not worth it. I know.
- hrshgn, on 05/28/2008, -0/+3The money was real, but the bus stop was under observation by a private security guard during the time the ad was there.
TGMD, on 05/27/2008, -8/+3That funeral service one is messed up...
skatopia69, on 05/27/2008, -1/+32mirror?

Ixus57, on 05/27/2008, -3/+15Haha "come a little closer" Sure thats increased business. Well done!
- Knucklecallus, on 05/28/2008, -2/+1haha yeah probably because they got hit by the train when they were trying to read it right ha ha ha that is so funny i really would have never seen that if you hadn't pointed it out ha!!!! On a serious note, if someone actually was trying to read the fine print and got hit by a train, could their (the person that got hit) family press charges against the funeral parlor, for, say, manslaughter?
  - Oppslagsverk, on 05/28/2008, -0/+1Only in America=)
smoothmann, on 05/27/2008, -14/+18I CAN HAS MERROR?

  - dustin32, on 05/28/2008, -0/+4What's with the hole in the middle?
  - wasborn, on 05/28/2008, -0/+3Because it's for a telescope.
- tehstone, on 05/28/2008, -0/+1actually it's pretty sunny here in seattle, has been most of the last few weeks.
- Knucklecallus, on 05/28/2008, -0/+1More like the rain in Portland. We had 100 days of rain, 3 days of 97 degree weather last week, and now it is raining again. Well, except for today. It only rained a little bit in the morning

3 of them I can't seem to get..
- Bandersong, on 05/28/2008, -0/+1The first one is that ibstead of actually having the guy put his finger on the paper, hes drawing his fingerprint with a sharpie. The second one is that a hand is being put through their mouths..... nail biting. Pretty obvious.

not a mirror but funny still
- Zipp425, on 05/28/2008, -0/+3I'd say that the ads found on that site are actually better than the ones linked to in this digg
  - kidathinnes, on 05/28/2008, -0/+1agreed
KingWilson, on 05/28/2008, -1/+4Beer me (a mirror)

pcrowe, on 05/28/2008, -5/+0That Samsung ad is horrible. What is it doing in the list?

Reminds me of Sesame Street. Which one of these is not like the other one’s, which one of these just doesn’t belong….Samsung because it is ***** creative.
- achoi, on 05/28/2008, -2/+3stop. seriously, dude, we get it.
  Your name is Paul Crowe and your website is http://www.adjoke.blogspot.com/ Happy now?
  
  no need to cross post the same exact comment to multiple sites. Your comment wasn't funny or witty on toxel, and neither is it on digg.
- pcrowe, on 06/03/2008, -0/+1Wow Achoi - you can click and read...congratulations.
  
  By looking at the creative shown here this is most likely the Samsung agency placing their creative among some campaigns that are actually good. It doesn't belong in the list. That is all I was saying.
  
  Thanks for the site plug...
