Microsoft today launched a "Don’t Get Scroogled" ad campaign with a web video ad and a website asking people to share stories of bad Google search results. Sadly, this attack ad on Google will back fire, early results seem to be bad for Bing and Microsoft as most comments on their Facebook page and YouTube (ironically funny as the video is uploaded on said Scroogler owned YouTube) are favoring Google, looks like Microsoft Scroogled themselves again.

The website reads:

In the beginning, Google preached, “Don’t be evil“—but that changed on May 31, 2012. That’s when Google Shopping announced a new initiative. Simply put, all of their shopping results are now paid ads. In their under-the-radar announcement, Google admits they’ve now built “a purely commercial model” that delivers listings ranked by “bid price.” Google Shopping is nothing more than a list of targeted ads that unsuspecting customers assume are search results.

The attack ad is too much, with comments like “Google > Bing… Attack ads just show how desperate they are for users” and “Bing is hopeless.. negative marketing will get you nowhere.” You can check out the Scroogled ad above and decide for yourself.

1. Bear vs. Trailer
In this classic Twinkies ad, a bear tears open a yellow trailer because it looks like a Twinkie, and is disappointed to find that all there is to eat inside is humans and mutters “Where’s the cream filling?”

2. "Celebrating 90 years as America's favorite chocolate cupcake"

5. Another vintage ad celebrating 40 years of the Hostess Ding Dongs

Ding Dongs — named for chiming bells used in vintage Hostess television commercials — are ringing 40 sweet years as one of America's all time favorite snack cakes. Just one bite of the iconic chocolate cake enrobed with chocolate icing and Hostess' signature rich creamy filling leaves little doubt as to the source of Ding Dongs' enduring appeal.

9. 1986 Hostess Pudding Pie Commercial

From 1986, this Pudding Pie ad featured a young Joey Lawrence.

The news that Hostess Brands Inc. is shutting down operations in the U.S. is particularly sad as it represents the death of an iconic brand, a brand that has been part of American pop culture for years.

A new commercial for Gainomax Recovery features a sad football team, a fascination with bananas, the official "Monkeys" cheerleaders...equally pathetic and a reminder that banana's are for monkeys. See The cheerleaders in action below.

Havas Worldwide London is behind a major new ad campaign for car maker Peugeot, promoting its ‘Just Add FuelTM’ finance package.

The idea behind the campaign is that Peugeot takes the stress out of buying a new car. It shows that people don’t need to worry about things that don’t affect them, and that with Peugeot’s ‘Just Add FuelTM’ finance package, they also do not need to worry about the car insurance for three years.

In the TV ad, ‘Gary’s Cat’, we are told the sad story of a worried man looking for his missing feline in the pouring rain, before the voiceover tells us: ‘Hang on. You don’t know Gary do you. Well, don’t worry then.’ It cuts to a couple driving a new Peugeot 208, having a great, worry-free time, and explains the benefits of the ‘Just Add FuelTM’ package, a single monthly amount that covers car tax, warranty, breakdown cover and comprehensive insurance for three years.

Dom Gettins, Creative Director at Havas Worldwide London, said: “Hunting through car insurance deals isn’t everyone’s idea of a good time so Peugeot’s ‘Just Add FuelTM’ is a brilliant idea, and we wanted to create an ad that would appeal to people who have better things to do with their lives than worry.”

Morgan Lecoupeur, Marketing Director at Peugeot UK, said: “With a unique and highly-attractive product in ‘Just Add FuelTM’ we needed a great idea, with a serious and an amusing aspect, also saluting our ‘Motion & Emotion’ signature, and I think Gary’s Cat will give us the awareness we seek from Christmas Day, as it airs for the first time.”

Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) today released a public service announcement that features the two winners of its "Girl Scouts Speak Out: Dear Mr. President" contest, in which girls across the country were invited to make PSAs addressed to the presidential candidates telling them how they can support girls.

The professionally produced 60-second video, which was filmed in Washington, D.C., is narrated by the two Girl Scouts who submitted the winning entries: Amanda, 15, from Girl Scouts of Central Illinois, and Hareem, 14, from Girl Scouts of the Nation's Capitol. The PSA is aspirational, as the girls look to a world "that supports girls so that they reach places where big decisions are made; where one of us gets to sit where you do now."

"Girls are not hearing all the right messages. When I hear 'You're just a girl' it makes me sad," says Amanda. "'Girl Scouts Speak Out' is a really good program because girls can give their ideas and show their opinions. I think it's important for women to be in leadership positions because we need to recognize that both genders can do something to change the world. I want the President to address the diversity issue, how people aren't always accepting of race, gender, and religion. Girl Scouts has taught me a lot about accepting people."

"It (Girl Scouts Speak Out) is addressing presidential candidates," says Hareem. "The problems that are happening to girls and women today, they are not an easy topic to talk about, but they are really the moral challenge of the century. They are not unsolvable, but it takes political will—and that's what the President can do. I want to be a marine biologist as well as a female leader. Girl Scouts helps me to do that through the skills I develop in scouting. It's helped a lot in my everyday life."

The "Girl Scouts Speak Out: Dear Mr. President" contest was designed to provide a national platform for girls to engage with the presidential election. As part of the contest, girls could submit ideas and concepts for PSAs addressed to the presidential candidates telling them how to support girls and the next generation of leaders.

Girls submitted videos, slide shows, and other material that drew more than 10,000 votes. The "Dear Mr. President" contest is part of the "Girl Scouts Speak Out" series, in which GSUSA asks girls to submit PSAs on key national or global issues. The program provides girls with a dynamic platform for their voices to be heard and recognized on issues that are important to them, inviting them to engage in the elements of leadership and their own ability to influence their future.

"We're proud to have girls' voices on important issues such as how to help build female leaders produced into a video that shares their thoughts with a larger audience," says Eileen Doyle, Vice President for Program. "Through the 'Girl Scouts Speak Out' PSA initiative, we are inviting girls to participate in the leadership discussion on a national platform and know that their voices will be heard."
