Ice Cream-amania!!!

Long story short, wrestling + ice cream = amazing.

While most modern-day advertising stays away from the celebrity spokespeople who look like a coked up pedophile on a five day bender, this delicious WWE (formerly the WWF) ad comes from an age of no shame. Speaking of no shame, please reread the headline. Now one may argue that using a subtitle, explaining who your spokesperson is a milli-meter away from their face, defeats the purpose of using that person to represent your product, but when your man's nickname is "the mouth of the south," can you go wrong?

So overall this ad may seem a bit out of place and god-awful by today's standards, but I only only imagine that there is someone in Williamsburg who still looks like this.

Keira Knightley for Women's Aid

In this unbelievably well-produced PSA for Women's Aid actress Keira Knightley is beaten senseless by her domineering boyfriend. The spot plays out more like a short film than any other PSA I've ever seen. It is well-scripted and the director, Joe Wright, does a fantastic job with both the shots and the depiction of violence.

It may be hard to watch, but in that way it's especially shocking and eye-opening. Hopefully, the message helps Women's Aid inspire people to support the cause of preventing domestic violence.

Olay Mystery Solver

Some great media placement right here. Cheers to both Olay and the person over at Time Out Sydney's ad sales. I'd imagine they had a hand in this, also.
