I would've let it run.

Except the Storm is wack. Ads can only do so much.

Evidently this was too controversial to run as a campaign.

Move your mouse around, click and drag the spider, and press the spacebar to feed it. Pretty realistic.

The LifeStraw

If we all thought of ideas like this instead of whatever doohickeys and nonsense we all waste our time on all day, imagine the difference in the world (and money) we could all be making!


The LifeStraw allows people without available drinking water drink straight from any water source without getting parasites. They make a bigger one too for larger supplies of water. These things last 3 years. What have you done lately? What have I done lately? Nothing compared to amazing life saving ideas like this.

Only in Europe

Does it show a washing machine. NO, but who cares, right.

The Blankoat is made in Iceland from magic thoroughbred viking sheep wool. Available in coal & sleet or teal & mint, I wonder if they can do 4 milly like their cheap red cult buddies on TV. At a whopping 250€ I doubt it.

Take the time to read the copy on the whole website, it's like J. Peterman meets Walt Whitman. Great stuff. I can now say that I've read a poem about a scarf and I've never wanted a bowtie more in my whole life.

The entire internet loves this video.

You should too because it is amazing.

Make your good design ideas more gooder.

Any of your ideas get killed even though you know they were amazing? Maybe the design wasn't the problem.

Super Bowled over or not?

So, what'd you guys think? Which spots were your top picks? Which ones should be used as ground for a criminal trial against the writer/art director?
