JUICY

Like everything about this. Simple, clean, and well thought as the wedges, containing the juice, are just as they would be naturally. All with the bag, tied and branded. Short and sweet.

Sold... By Peter

You may have sold me with this spot Samsung.. and more so with 'Peter', but I'm not sure I'll buy the product. Or even look into it further. Not because I don't want a tablet/phone/paperweight/handheld computer device. But because an elephant using it doesn't say much about me using it. You make me like your brand a little bit more because I am obsessed with elephants. You win points there. It's fun, whimsical and shows the ease of product features. Check. But I have a Samsung phone at the moment that I want to through into traffic more often than not, so it's hard for me to be convinced on another, larger phone-like device. This commercial won't be changing my overall opinion (which is generally pretty in favor of you), I just wanted to say thanks for this ad.

9 Eyes

Forwarded on from a coworker of mine. Some awesome shots, some startling shots and some shots that just make you stop.. and think. Check it out, let me know what you think, what you like and what you don't... and the crazy thing is, they're all found through Google's street view within their maps... wicked. 9 Eyes

Pin What? Pin It Where? Ok, I'm Addicted.

This new phenomenon that has taken the interwebs by storm... Pintrest. At first, I was like a child figuring out how the things in the world work. New sights, sounds, interaction and relation... and my first thought when coming across this new social outlet was, "pin what? pin it where? what's the point? I'm confused.." which then quickly and probably only for a limited amount of time has become, "pin it. I need to pin that... how do I get the Pin button on my taskbar? Ok, I'm addicted..".

At first glance I'm not sure where this new network will net out in the long run, but at least for now it's going to be interested to see where it goes.

And you can follow my useless pins by searching for "Christopher Swanson" on Pintrest.

Skittles Makes Me Smile... And Feel Awkward.

I love the Skittles commercials (created by DDB Chicago) and the newer spots makes me smile... and feel slightly dirty.. and well frankly like I've been visually accosted or confused.. giving me an uneasy feeling at times (and i love that). Check out the spots below... and take note on "Mentor".. it's the creepiest... reminds me of the older spot, man with a long beard, picking the skittles up with his beard then ever so delicately leading them up and into his mouth. Awkward and amazing all at the same time.

"MENTOR"


"CRANKY"


"BLEACHERS"
