Footballers in advertising

The purpose of this post is not to ridicule footballers. It is to encourage them to go to Japan and shoot ads, because they have products there we have not even thought of yet. Cristiano Ronaldo is on to this.

And here is a big free kick to our agency partners in Australia. Steal this concept. Soccer star Luis Suarez inducted into a nine-to-five business.

The in-joke is that he’s famous for cheating, pushing and diving. You’d have to find another in-joke for AFL…

Gunning for change

Turns out there is still hope for America.

The accomplishment of this ad is the participation of the candidates, despite competing with each other for the nomination. It proves that if the goal is big enough, selfish concerns can be overcome.

The Hunt

Lady loading gun in forest - the hunt

Universal just cancelled the release of the violent horror pic The Hunt, following criticism by President Trump. The plot is liberal elites kidnapping right wing citizens and using them as game in a manhunt. Who knew that would be controversial?

There’s an excellent write-up in Time. Includes the trailer, which has been pulled from Universal sites.
