The artist used cedar mulch to make the pizza’s “pepperoni” with cornstalks filling in for green pepper, black mulch standing for olives, and flattened wheat stalk for cheese. The pizza crop circle stands at about the size of six football fields and promotes Papa John’s new whole-wheat-crust pizza made from Colorado wheat with the chain’s slogan “America’s Choice” proudly displayed in the design.

The “ad’ is due to be completed just in time for the convention and is expected to last through the season till the snows!

The Olympic Games is not only the arena for displaying the power and might but it also is an exhibit of dedication and sincerity. Six gold medal favorites – Tyson Gay, Allyson Felix, Veronica Campbell-Brown, Jeremy Wariner, Yelena Isinabayeva and Haile Gebrselassie had flown to Beijing six months ahead of the games to train, practice and acclimatize to the Chinese environs. There is no place for complacency and no time to rest as the world’s best converge to the Beijing Olympics. Adidas has captured these six Adidas athletes practicing in Beijing aiming for the Gold in its campaign ‘Gold is never a given’. Nothing is guaranteed in this world but nothing is impossible.

You know I always thought that French fries, like chocolate, pretty much sold themselves. But I had no idea how fierce the competition in the fries business was until I saw this fascinating print ad promoting New York Fries. With the catch phrase Real Fries in a Fake World clearly taking a dig at the silicon-powered bust line of its smiling blonde model, the ad promises consumers the complete goodness of fries derived from the finest whole premium potatoes as opposed to the enhanced ones sold by other vendors. The ad was created by Toronto-based ad agency Zig, and wins all the points for wit and catchiness!

Can’t avoid risks in life and some are really worth it! That’s what the ad campaign - Light, for the sport gamers, Ocala, promoting Jai Lai and Poker games seems to say. The Punchline reveals the real punch of gaming at Ocala:

Everyone gambles. You might as well make money with it.

Jai Lai is an age old popular game with its origin in Basque,France. But it has been innovated and reinvented in US and now the way its being promoted, popularity will certainly soar risky heights! No need of any footnotes regarding risks. The picture says it all. Honest advertising for a game involving gambling.

Water conservation is quite the new age mantra with major conservationist agencies around the world pitching in with educational and promotional spots to encourage the masses to save water. But we really have to hand it to Denver, USA-based advertising agency Sukle Advertising & Design for coming up with this ingenious billboard design for independent City agency Denver Water. The ad not only delivers the message Use only what you need loud and clear and in no uncertain terms, but it also helps common folks relate to the water conservation movement through an experience most of us have during the course of an ordinary day- water wrinkles!

Daniel Craig is all set to reprise his role as the savvy MI6 spy. But this time it’s going to be for an ad campaign. The actor will star as James Bond in the ads that aim to highlight Sony Pictures’ role as the long-term distributor and commercial partner of the world’s most famous film series. Sony already has a product placement deal with the movie franchise with new Sony Ericsson C902 Cyber-shot handset being featured in the upcoming Bond flick, Quantum of Solace. The campaign is being created by famous branding and communications corp Fallon and the spots are scheduled to air sometime in autumn around the release of the next James Bond film.

Amnesty International denies that they are the ones behind the furious advertisements that are defaming China and to prove them wrong or right here is a big challenge. Their intent behind bringing out these advertisements has been misinterpreted as per Amnesty which as per me makes them disown the fine set of pictures released. What ever be the reason, don’t we just love those posters which have sprawled the cruel face of the Chinese regime to the world?

The better thing thus to do is to celebrate the creativity that brings the real face of China to the world, a face that is trying to hide in the limelight of the Olympics. The problem is that these advertisements depict the atrocities that the protestors are facing and are being seen as a message to continue the protest after the games are over. Chinese bloggers have taken a liking to these advertisements which have created more problems for China which wants to keep this issue at bay during the entire stretch of the games.

Amnesty international has derived huge business from China for the Olympics and that probably is the reason why they now disown the creations. The Ads have been developed by Amnesty allies elsewhere for which they did win heavy appreciation. Whatever be Amnesty’s stance, the cruel face of the Chinese nullifying every protest in ways depicted in the photographs makes you hate them. These are the only pictures that remind you that the protest must go on and although Amnesty International now denies it, we would still thank them for their creations!

Hyundai Coupe ad campaign in Israel is aptly called ‘Dog’. Seems to promise you a pet which can go at any speed without panting. The pet shows no signs of hunger either. So its a car that consumes less and delivers more. A good companion for long journeys. Good concept, but the tongue pasted on the dog’s head looks unnecessary, it makes the pet look sad.

Of all the liquor ads I have ever seen (or been banned from seeing) in my whole life, this one has got to be the most no-nonsense campaign ever. Developed by New York-based ad agency Mother, the video brings out the true essence of the 10 Cane Rums and how they liberate the mind from irritating little details of life. Of course it totally doesn’t make sense that a dude who is lost at sea with nothing but a globe (whaa?), a makeshift raft and apparently a caseful of 10 Cane Rum would be dressed in immaculate white but I guess it only goes onto show how smooth the rum actually is. P.S. try watching the ad having downed a few shots of the stuff yourself and you’ll totally understand the genius of this campaign!

Remember that scene from the movie One Fine Day where George Clooney shows up at Michelle Pfeiffer’s home and they are fooling around and she excuses herself to go freshen up to ‘feel more womanly’ and she’s in the loo shaving her legs? Well, most women would agree with me that nothing really boosts a girl’s confidence like smooth legs. And that’s exactly the message that the Veet Catwalk campaign developed by Euro RSCG Australia aims to deliver. The print ads basically offer the idea that using the Reckitt Benckiser hair removal cream will give a girl (or boy?) enough confidence to strut down aisles in the supermarket, cinema halls and even buses as if they were the runway at a major fashion show!

For a person with weight problems, being called a pig or a cow or a whale can be very hurtful and scaring. But I guess opportunists rarely give a damn about political correctness or even humanity for that matter. The worst thing is that this is the only reason I could think of for someone coming up an ad campaign as disgusting as the one Bucharest-based advertising agency Propaganda (how ironic!)created for the expert weight loss programs of Del Mar medical spa.

The prints show men and women evolving from whales, cows and even pigs and would appear funny or witty to only perhaps the meanest anorexic fashion model who hasn’t eaten anything except a grape or two in a decade or so! I don’t know how much the spa benefited from the disturbing campaign but I’m sure someone will sue them for causing emotional distress sooner or later!

More often than not, being called ‘primitive’ would not be considered a compliment unless it was a reference to a display at the Museum of Natural History or something. But since normal rules rarely apply in the advertising world, we were more than thrilled by the campaign developed by BBDO Singapore for Wrangler Basic Cut Jeans. The print advertising campaign won Gold at Cannes 2004 for its originality and wittiness. Of course wearing the same apparel as a Neanderthal would hardly appeal to the dandy metro dudes of the day but once you get the nuance behind the weird campaign (i.e., this pair of jeans is supposed to be uncomplicated, plain, primitive, elementary, primordial, undeveloped, and unsophisticated) it all makes a tonne of sense!

Of course the new Axe Chocolate Man campaign pretty much promises you the same bliss as well and at this point we’re really wondering who is mimicking whom! But since both the products and the ads deliver you all the goodness of chocolate, we’re really not complaining at all. Watch Hershey’s melt-in-the-mouth ad below and check out the Axe Chocolate Man video after that.
