This new spot for LG's line of vacuum cleaners, specifically the LG Kompressor Plus, shows us a interesting photo shoot trick using a supermodel in a lil red bikini.
I'm sure this one wont go over to well with everyone. Just imagine the possibilities if a vacuum really could this.

This video is the making of "Hero," a drawing of Miguel Endara's dad composed entirely out of 3.2 million ink dots.
Miguel created this fantastic piece with, believe it or not just one pen, the pen is a micron.005, made in Germany.
He states the 3.2 million is not an exact number, but very very close to the real number. He multiplies his speed of plotting (how many dots he puts down per 10 seconds) with the number of hours he worked on each section.

This could be the greatest police chase in the history of beer and police chases. The new TV ad for Carlton Draught entitled "Beer Chase" features a crew of bank robbers who just happen to stop into a bar to celebrate the heist and a cold one. The bar just happens to be the local watering hole for the local cops...the great chase ensues, and of course the bad guys win...it's worth the 90 seconds you'll spend watching it.

A flock of seagulls sing the "I Ran" song by A Flock Of Seagulls, and they bust some great moves on keyboard, base and drums in this funny new commercial for Cape Cod Potato Chips.
"The director was very clear from the beginning that the gulls were first and foremost birds," says R&H visual effects supervisor Nicholas Titmarsh. "He did not want to give them human characteristics or make them caricatures in any way. That’s why the drummer uses his beak rather than holding drum sticks, and the lead singer plays the keyboard with his foot. So they are a band, sure, but they retain their seagull DNA."
"Because of that," adds Titmarsh, "there are lots of funny moments in the spot like when the drummer knocks over the cymbal, the way he and the bassist react is all bird. The guitarist even takes a moment to preen himself, but then after a brief pause they leap back into being the band."

So how does AMC promote their new original TV series "Small Town Security" which is set to premiere this Sunday July 15th? Well, you get your ad agency to come up with the first ever Humpy Awards, bring in a bunch of hump happy dogs and let them go crazy on their owners leg. I thought I had pretty good sense of humor, (humour for my fellow Canadian friends) and well I'm sure I have a great sense of humor now as I found this to be absolutely hilarious...in a shameful kinda way.
The Humpy Awards celebrate a natural dog behavior: the leg humping. This dog humping competition was judged on speed, style, stamina, mount and dismount. 1st prize went to Miss Hope.

McDonald's Canada executive chef, Dan Coudreaut shows us exactly what the Big Mac sauce recipe includes and how to make a Big Mac right at home. In case your wondering the big secret about the Big Mac sauce is the following: mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika.
I only have one question....McDonald's has an executive chef??? They're kidding right?
New commercials for Hefty Tall Kitchen Waste Bags (that's right I said Hefty), is the work of Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess. The ads seem strange at first view but they seem to get a little funnier each time I watch it.
The campaign has three spots: "The Thing" Go Back To Your Planet, an Alien is captured and trapped in a Hefty bag. "Baby", a giant baby a stressed out mother and her friend...need we say more. A finally "Rager," there was a party. I'm betting on the Hefty Alien spot to have some viral success.
