London photo of the day: ghost ad
Old advertisement lingering on the side of a building in Wandsworth.
advertising
watch it: two hilariously demented Herman Cain campaign ads
The worst campaign ads ever.
retro ad: 1970s American Airlines commercial
Fly American Airlines: they have computers!
retro ad: 1970s Almond Joy/Mounds commercial
I probably haven’t seen this ad in 30 years, and the moment I laid eyes on just the mere description of it, I could sing the jingle again without a hitch. Sad.
retro ad: 1990s Apple “The Crazy Ones” commercial
This is more recent than I usually like my retro ads to be, but today, I think I’ll break my rule.
watch it: Orange “Phone Break” ad
This is the cleverest “turn off your phones, dumbasses” ad for multiplexes I’ve seen yet.
watch it: “The Train” Stella Artois ad
This is one of the cleverest and most entertaining ads I’ve seen in a while.
watch it: 19th Raindance Film Festival ad
Unlike the weird “sexy” ad I bitched about the other day, this is clever, subversive, and not sexist…
retro ads: 1960s Fairy Liquid commercials
Ah, I remember when I was a little girl, and those nice long chats I had with Mommy about dish soap…
retro ad: 1980s Faberge shampoo commercial
Source of a catchphrase of the 80s. Because people loved shampoo that much.
