Subliminal Advertising

In this video Derren Brown asks two ad creatives to concept an ad from scratch after he has only given them the product. The result is surprising when we find out that Derren Brown has already predicted the result by influencing the ad guys subliminally.

It's interesting to see how easily we can be influenced by the world around us. Hence my "Give Me All Your Money, Buy Me A House, and I Also Like Those Pants" shirt that I'm wearing right now.

"Can I PLEASE Have Extra Crumblies?"

Our friend Rebekah, who is a Catering Manager for an events company and definitely not Long John Silver's just told us this:

"I just had someone call me at work to make a complaint about something she ate at Long John Silver's, when I informed her that I don't work for Long John Silver's and that she would need to call them, she promptly informed me that they weren't answering."

I assume it's easiest to answer customer complaint calls when they actually dial your number. The conversation ended with the Long John Silver's customer threatening to call her lawyer. I guess if Rebekah doesn't fix any of Long John Silver's issues here pretty quickly, she may be in trouble.

Grand Central Station Frozen in Time (Like a couple of minutes)

We were just talking about how great this video is today so I had to share it. Two hundred people froze in the middle of Grand Central Station at the same moment, and the confusion of the other people passing through is really great to watch. I'd like to try this during an important meeting where I just randomly freeze at the most inopportune time.

Tribute to the Computer Guy

Without computer guys, you wouldn't have your website, we wouldn't have this blog, and I certainly wouldn't have had a date to the prom.

So...thanks.

Misplaced Ads

Here are some ads that took on a whole new meaning after they were placed. Cleverly placing an ad can be really effective, but I don't think this is what these advertisers intended.






























Ad says, "If you don't have GIO Third Party Property Insurance, we suggest you don't hit this bus.
