Shooting M&Ms

It's things that these that make me believe that the chasm between the present of advertising and the future of advertising is widening fast. The ones who managed to throw across a tree trunk and scamper over have survived. The rest, well they can only hope that they are shot down by an M&M spaceship. At least, it'll be a more fun way to die.

Coca-Cola Happiness truck

Coca-cola is going back to basics. It's Coke that brought to life Santa Claus, the jolly bearded, fat man in a red suit with a bag fully of goodies; spreading cheer and happiness whenever he reached into it. And now there are playing Santa in real life. Here it's with a truck. They have done in earlier with a vending machine that dispensed just about anything. And then there was the friendship vending machine. Ho, ho, ho. It's christmas the year around with Coke.

Friendship vending machine

Want a coke? You'll need more than just quarters. You'll need a friend. Done to celebrate Friendship Day in Argentina. The machine dispenses an extra coke for the effort.

Not quite as nice as the first time I saw this execution, but nice nevertheless.

Fun to a good measure

Ode to 2009.

Octomom. Balloon Boy. Phelps bong. If there's one thing for sure in this world, it's that as long as people are acting reckless, insane and just plain stupid (i.e. like people), there will always be plenty of material available for JibJab's annual "Year in Review" videos!

Eko Stoplight

The Eko Stoplight by Damjan Stanković is a buffering light that tells you how more time will your green signal take to download. He promotes it as an eco solution; his belief being that if you know how long you are going to be there at the light, you may want to shut your engine off, wait, be calm, and turn it back on again when the time is almost up. This not only lessens the amount of gas you use sitting still, but it lessens the amount of crazy madness you have wondering if the stoplight is stuck, or just really, really long. Well if only cars came custom-fitted with a driver's conscience. A small step, but definitely in the right direction.
Why would it score over a simple time counter next to the light, the kind that you see in India? For starters, the light and the buffer is operated using the same light source. Hence less electricity. And secondly 2 minutes left at the light, may seem too little a time to switch one's engine off. While two minutes on the Eko stoplight may seem to be a bit longer.
