Cute ACDelco ad shits in the mouth of creative license.

(click ad)
I am a firm believer that, however exaggerated, the visualized benefit of a product must at least be within a few light years of reality. This cutesy little ad for ACDelco "ultrasoft" shock absorbers is asking me to suspend way too much belief. Sorry. Ad agency: Bates, Singapore.

Two years old = 100 Internet years, but I hadn't seen it before. And I do love unintentionally sexual promo copy, right Dr. Pepper? Right, The Gap? April O'Neil looks pretty satiated.

Copywriters! What do you think of these Grand Prix-winning ads for Swiss Life?

The Epica awards, "Europe's premier creative awards," were recently handed out. The above campaign, by Spillmann/Felser/Leo Burnett, Zurich, won the press Epica d’Or. What do you think? Not massively creative, but kinda clever, kinda nice, especially compared to the usual ads in this dry as dirt category. Share you opinions, please.

Good for her, I guess. I'm only posting these because it's Uma, and because the ads were done by those overrated pretentious French hacks Fred & Farid. Photography by overrated one-trick pony David LaChapelle.
Here's the rather odd, unsexy commercial from the campaign.
