Nice little new number featuring Paris Hilton, this time she is strutting her stuff for a Brazilian beer brand called Devassa. The ad was done by Agencia Mood, and so far the above clip has received no less than 3 separate investigations for sexism, being too sensual, and encouraging drinking ! So if you want to cause a stir for your next ad, campaign just call Paris Hilton.

         After seeing a recent post on AdPunch on Wonderbra’s great creative advertising, I thought I would pick out some out some of the best that I have seen over the years. Just click on any of the pictures for the larger images, each one is classic but my favourites are “Wonderbra Hills” and “The Economist”. Enjoy gents.  

Love this little micro site for an Australian ice cream lolly pop called “Golden Gaytime”.

Although there is little info given to the ice cream itself, the site is good fun and can teach you a thing or two about history at the same time.

At present you can create a Polaroid style picture from any of your photo’s on facebook or your PC. I do hope you enjoy the one above of some friends visiting from England on a gay night out in Cape Town. ( For your info the girls underwear has “Wonder women” written on them !). You can also find out what big events happened in the year you were born. I came to learn that in 1981 the word “internet” was first used, and I happen to share the year I was born with Britney Spears !

The above campaign was one of the most successful online virals from last year for Radiotjänst (Sweden’s TV licensing body). Personally I was sent it about 25 times from various friends from around the globe. The campaign attracted over 14 million unique visits within 8 weeks. The above clip shows a nice brief of what, and how they pulled it off. The basic idea was to encourage more people to pay their TV licence fee in Sweden. To do this they created a video clip where you the viewer could be a world hero and star of the clip. They did this by embedding a photo of you and your name in the film at different scenes. At the end of the clip you could register to pay your licence, and personalise your own clip to send to a friend. The dedicated website was marketed on TV, cinemas and print. To try out the campaign for yourself go to http://en.tackfilm.se/ Great work and congrats to Draft FCB, Stockholm for coming up with the campaign.

Kulula has been hard at work lately, not content with making the world laugh with their fun new aircraft paint schemes, they have now launched a hilarious travel blog called “Trev does travel” complete with a dedicated travel blogger named Trevor Townsend. Trev as he likes to be known, describes himself as a “Professional handmodel. Scrabble champion. And as of 2010, Kulula’s new official travel blogger”. I want his job ! so far he has been to Mauritius (he describes it as “It is as beautiful as Angelina Jolie wearing a dress made of the babies she has had with Brad Pitt”), and has also had the honour of staying at Cape Towns Bantry Bay Luxury Suites hotel. Trev doesn’t just travel to great places though, he also hands out a multitude of fun travel tips and resources. The campaign has only just started but so far so funny, check trev out on facebook, twitter and the “Trev does travel” blog. This Kulula awesomeness is a brain child of the King James agency.

If you’re Canadian then you will probably like this, if you’re not then take in the overkill on the Canadian love given in this new ad for Molson Canadian beer. The spot is part of a rebrand for Molson Canadian beer by Zig agency. If this clip somehow doesn’t give you a big enough Canada hit, then have a look at their facebook page by clicking here.

If you like football or Guinness this will probably be right up your alley. Its a new ad for Guinness by Saatchi & Saatchi and Velocity films, Cape Town. The spot features a football scout prowling Africa for local talent and finding it in the most unlikely places. Great work.

The ad was filmed in Kenya and currently airing in most Southern African countries.

Probably the most anticipated phone from Sony Ericsson for years has been the new Xperia X10, and now it has a baby brother and sister in the form of the X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro. The only differences between the two are that the Pro has a slide out qwerty keypad, is slightly larger, and is available in Black and red rather than all the other colours for the regular mini shown below. First hands on tests show this phone is fast and pretty much good to go (click here for a hands on test video). These two touch screen Android phones feature Sony Ericsson’s new signature application Timescape™ which brings all communication together in one place so users can see at a glance text messages, missed calls, and Facebook™ and Twitter updates, without having to open lots of different applications.  The interactive music player also uses an “infinite button” to pull together all music content from the music store and YouTube™ – a smart way to search for new tracks from a favourite artist. The phones will be available for release in the second quarter of this year. Personally I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these. If they live up to the hype the X10 range will be the phones that secure Sony Ericsson’s future as one of the world’s top handset manufacturers.   Main Specs:

• Android 1.6 operating system, with 600MHz Qualcomm MSM7227 processor
• 5mp camera.
• 4 Custom corner shortcut keys
• 2.5-inch QVGA touchscreen
• WiFi, Bluetooth (A2DP),
• Micro USB connector and 3.5mm headphone jack
• Sony Ericsson Timescape™, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync®,
• A-GPS, Android Market™, Google Talk™, Google Voice Search™
• 128mb built in memory, 2GB microSD™ memory card inc in box
