  • method7670, on 10/15/2008, -6/+1I love the "Enjoy Wet Floor" Irony....
    that should get a Fail
  • dannytehmanny, on 10/15/2008, -1/+21i can think of another good use for the just one bite one...
  • Hetman, on 10/15/2008, -4/+6The majority of guns bought in Africa are AK-47s and they are not to vending machine friendly. Not that it matters, if they did not use guns they would just use Machetas.
    • doctechnical, on 10/15/2008, -1/+2"This is my rifle, this is my gun..."
    • Hetman, on 10/15/2008, -1/+5This is my rifle.

      There are many like it, but this one is MINE.

      My rifle is my best friend. It is my life.

      I must master it as I must master my life.

      My rifle without me is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless.

      I must fire my rifle true.

      I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me.

      I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will...

      My rifle and myself know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire,

      the noise of our bursts, nor the smoke we make.

      We know it is the hits that count. We will hit...

      My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life.

      Thus, I will learn it as a brother.

      I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories,
      its sights, and its barrel.

      I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage.

      I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready.

      We will become part of each other. We will...

      Before God I swear this creed.

      My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country.

      We are the masters of our enemy.

      We are the saviors of my life.

      So be it, until there is no enemy, but PEACE.

  • inbashkir, on 10/15/2008, -1/+7The PSP ad is pretty cool. It's right on Houston St. in NYC. Too bad the screens are all burnt out and you can barely see the video anymore. Sony should do something to save this cool ad.

  • andoru, on 10/15/2008, -5/+2What's so "brilliant" about vandalising the safety markings on the road in order to sell your product? The bicycle symbol on the road is there to indicate to motorists that the road is shared with bikes, not there to help promote a business. I hope this company was fined and forced to pay for the removal of the stencils.
    • fattehboi, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2someones a little angry
    • SaintDeuce, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1I'm sure the company sought approval from the city road commission.
  • kcmo08, on 10/15/2008, -1/+2Brilliant advertising? You mean like OGC?
  • Ibox, on 10/15/2008, -1/+2I'd hate to be that guy in the ad on the side of the bus... I bet he catches all sorts of hell.
  • DeskFlyer, on 10/15/2008, -1/+5Someone take a rolling pin to that sheet of bubble wrap.
  • Nephersir7, on 10/16/2008, -1/+2I am ***** tired of these stories appearing on front page
  • CrushThemTorg, on 10/16/2008, -1/+3I'm seriously tired of creative advertising stories. They're usually just spec ads anyway.
  • cdtoad, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2Snore.. who cares.. these aren't viral... they're old.
  • fattehboi, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2Why so few comments on this one?

    and yeah my favorite was the cigarette one
  • BWatkins, on 10/16/2008, -1/+1I saw the 20 stupid ads; where are the good ones?
  • raebu, on 10/16/2008, -0/+0digging a lot of these. :) great inspiration for me to get started on my class work.
  • wutimatang, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2Boy do I hate advertising when done badly, but when done with elegance and executed so well, I can't help but admire.
  • Aniboomer, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1the pepsi one is too awesome
