Was this what Obama meant when he told GM to think out of the box?

A Hummer and a Segway have mated and have apparently produced a P.U.M.A. – a self balancing two-wheeled vehicle capable of reaching speeds of 35
mph – well above the Segway's 12 mph top speed — for 35 miles.
Granted, most Americans will most probably think that this is a joke and judging from the picture, climbing into the P.U.M.A will most certainly ensure that you never get laid ever again in your sorry existance on earth, but at least you'll still have a planet to live on thanks to the zero emission green vehicle.
That is if you survive a trip without getting a Peterbilt logo permanently tattooed onto your forehead.
The new vehicle will make its debut at this week's New York Auto Show.

Britelite Candleholders – local creativity for good
Posted on 06. Apr, 2009 by Jonathan Cherry.
We met the legendary Mike Schalit for the first time last week at a BBDO World Cup 2010 function. Turns out that apart from making ads, he's also involved with a personal creativity project called MAL [MakeALiving-MakeALife]. The idea is that 'We make a living from what we get – we make a life from what we give'.
With the Britelite Candleholder he's giving of his creative thoughts to solve the huge problem of shack fires as a result of knocked over candles. [video link]
Simple, effective and a brilliant use of a creative talent. With first world knowledge and third world understanding, we're sure there isn't a problem in the world that South African creative designers can't solve.
All it takes is a little effort and a bit of giving of your time.

And all that jazz
Posted on 02. Apr, 2009 by Jonathan Cherry.
If like us you're going to the Cape Town Jazz festival tomorrow night – good on you. If not, it would be a crying shame to allow a mega weekend of jazz in the city pass you by without sampling just a bit of of those soulful jams from with all music is essentially created.
Other than the major festival, please allow us to recommend a quiet dark ale and a touch of class over at Brewery & Union as a stylish alternative. This does however come with a warning.
Once you've experienced this beer salon…there's no turning back. Take the dark pils and see how far the rabbithole goes.
Is there a dentist in the house?

The simplicity of a great idea.
The more people who need this type of oral service, the more evident it becomes that a good dentist is good to find. Makes you wanna gnash your teeth together in applause. [via]

Mmmm…Chicken Licken
Posted on 02. Apr, 2009 by Jonathan Cherry.
After watching these new Chicken Licken ads, which were created by Net#work BBDO – we're wondering if they sell a breakfast chicken burger…with strong coffee.
Gotta luv that fried spicey chicken. Snoop Dogg style.
[Thanks Tracey]
