Kenneth Anderson is probably the luckiest man on earth. I is still alive after a car crashed through a restaurant right where he was sitting. We are lucky as well, it was all caught on camera!
Kenneth Mack Anderson was eating at a coffee shop in Wilkesboro when [...]

Benny just send me a sms. He can’t find the time to write a post today because he is studying for tomorrow’s motorcycle test. Though he’s a master of bad excuses, this time I think I believe him. On the other hand, why didn’t he tell me before? He must have known [...]

For many of us, being able to fly is the stuff you do in dreams. Such a shame this can’t actually happen without the heavy use of special effects. I guess Honda’s marketing team took their inspiration from their last campain when they thought this up.
So, anyway, [...]

Subscribers to Top Gear Magazine, that drove less than five kph to fast when they were caught by a Speed camera, can send their speeding tickets to the car magazine. They will pay the fine!
Their reason:
“Since last April the fine for traffic offences went up [...]

Today almost every single blog and news site I visited reported about an accident with Daniel Craig. This is the story:
Daniel Craig was sent to the hospital after suffering a minor hand injury while filming the latest James Bond movie “Quantum of Solace” at Pinewood Studios near [...]

So, you’ve got yourself a fancy agency to create the ultimate advertising campaign in that country you’re so desperate to sell your new cars in? A shame they forgot to tell you you don’t stand a chance in advance, since the car name you chose means “cunt” to the locals. A top ten of badly [...]

Back from Spain! I see my partner in crime Robert has kept you all busy with daily posts (well done, mate), I’ll have to take some time to catch up.
I had a great time: Andalucia is amazingly beautiful and the Spanish sun amazingly comfortable this time of [...]

Depending on their placement in the broadcast, a 30-second commercial on ABC during the Oscar show will cost approximately $1.7 million. Broadcasts like the Oscars are especially interesting for advertisers since they have a huge amount of live viewers. Unlike the Super Bowl, the Oscars are not likely to be watched at a later time [...]

We all know about the French Anti-Americanism. Whether it’s legitimate or not, I won’t give my opinion about it and what both countries do with those feelings doesn’t concern me. Until today! I stumbled across a hilarious ad, made by the French Advertising Agency : WAM/Publicis.
The French always had their own style and sense of [...]

I’ve always been annoyed at the “pimp my ride” hype that started a few years ago: Take an average street car, add as many oversized plastic spoilers and grills as you can and cruise through your parents neighborhood at walking speed so everybody can see you.
Volkswagen Golfs have been a popular target in the ride-pimpin’ [...]

Most (car)advertisements adhered to the same concept. Controlled crashes with dummies. The VW Jetta had the best front and side impact ratings and decided that this quality would be the unique selling point. “Safe happens” demonstrated that the brand understands how safety features we take for granted can be just as stunning as the danger [...]

I’ve sometimes wondered why ads go through so much trouble in stating their product is clearly the best. If this claim is actually true for the product being advertised, wouldn’t it be much easier to flatly yell out “Shell’s oil is much better than Texaco’s”?
Of course there’s a reason I never see these kinds of [...]

This Harley Davidson commercial made me grin. I would like to compliment the creative genius who thought of replacing the reindeer’s with Harley’s and making Santa black. But why oh why didn’t the marketing director of Harley Davidson stop it when it was just an idea.
It looks like the idea wasn’t judged by the [...]

Looking for some cool free-running clips on YouTube I came across this Toyota advert from 2005. Free running, or Parkour in this case (they’re pretty much the same to me), was really the hype of the moment at that time, and it seems Toyota decided to join in. I might be totally missing the [...]

I’m not a race fan, but this vid really moves me. Is it the great sound, the perfect stylish shots or the subtle message behind it? A Ferrari drives through the streets of Rome, Monaco, Rio, Sydney, New York and Hong Kong. Obviously to show us where we can find Shell. Not too obvious…The [...]

Ever wondered how a car is made? Me too, but this video doesn’t clear up that question. This early 50’s commercial does however show how simple cars were by then.
A joy to watch because it shows the difference between commercials then and now. I mean, everybody knows car commercials nowadays, and to be honest, [...]
