Misc. Ads I Want to Talk About

When I saw this ad, I thought about something Kirk Cameron said.  He does a lot of religious specials and on one, he was talking about how the banana is a basic piece of evidence to support intelligent design.  It contours perfectly to our hands, it has a protective cover, and the way it arches makes it really easy for us to eat....and it is brilliant to use in advertisements, apparently!  I just can't believe how well this works for a teeth whitening service!

Sparkfury Creative Consultants
Singapore
I would have liked this campaign a lot more if the clearer version of the picture was something ridiculous like a really hairy guy that is in the woods camping...or maybe Nessie could be the tail end of a sinking gondola or something (not that there is a surplus of gondolas in Scotland).  I don't know, these are just off of the top of my head, but I think you get what I'm sayin'!


Hakuhodo
Japan
This is really a cool way to show the dwindling numbers of gorillas.  A lot of time, when we hear that there are 300 monkeys in captivity, we think they are safe...that's a pretty big number.  But this campaign is a good reminder that yeah, that's a decent number, but not when it's referring to the population of an entire species. 
Ogilvy
New Zealand
I think that whole 3-D sidewalk art trend is really neat.  It is so interesting to me when it isn't even advertising or promoting anything, but since this art is actually relevant to a cause, it caught my eye.  Way to use an appropriate medium!
