Darth Vader terrorises Cape Town

Posted on 26. Feb, 2010 by Jonathan Cherry.

If you thought aliens invading Joburg was scary – the good news is that Capetonians seem far more relaxed about the prospect of Darth Vader and a couple of those navy looking dudes in white plastic suits walking around Long Street. As long as the mountain is still in it’s rightful place and you can still buy crack from the guy wearing the rasta hat on the corner of Bloem Street, we’re cool like that.

Unlike New Yorkers – who got Snoop Dogg in the mix with a remixed Vader tune and were invaded by a full battalion of futuristic navy people with real guns. Makes Mr Vader strolling through the Biscuit Mill on a Saturday morning sampling organic carrots look rather peace-loving.

Maybe they should have thrown in a few of those ‘prawn’ things for more effect.

We’re sure her life story strikes a familiar cord with many.

Julia gets worked by Louis

Classic cartoon from Zapiro as the lines between news, advertising and satire get beer goggles.

Love the Windgat Lager.

EA Games’ FIFA 10

Posted on 23. Feb, 2010 by Jonathan Cherry.

It’s not a World Cup 2010 ad, but should have been, ’cause it’s better than anything related to the actual tournament that we’ve seen as yet.

More World Cup 2010 ads featuring some of the animals we share our country with

Eish

Copy: The new home of football [first time we've heard that line - so makes us wonder if it's even something that ran]

Stumbled over this old print ad for the World Cup that was apparently made by an ad agency in Slovenia. Europeans seem to be captivated by either the threat of being murdered or running into wildlife when it comes to promoting the event.

We murdered quite a number of these little meerkat buggers on the way to the office this morning. Crazy things just have a nasty habit of running into jeep tracks and sitting up like this just as you approach. Leaves terrible blood stains on the front of cars.

Visa’s World Cup 2010 ad

Posted on 22. Feb, 2010 by Jonathan Cherry.

Visa one of the big World Cup 2010 sponsors have finally released their advertising trump card for the tournament.

It features a large English bloke running his way to South Africa and a slimmer appearance [cause the flights are too expensive - and let's face it, Africa is beautiful this time of the year so it would be rude not to take a quiet jog through the continent en route to playing a few football games]

Billboards, activations and free money to follow shortly.

We like it. Music makes us wanna limber up for a power 10 kay right now.

New angle for Old Spice

Posted on 22. Feb, 2010 by Jonathan Cherry.

We like to suck on an old crusty bar of Life Buoy during our brainstorm sessions, but after seeing this ad – we may have to change back to a tube of Old Spice.

Mmmmm – love the smell of the 70s.

BTW – here’s how they made it

That Japanese music video Kirsten Dunst dressed up for

Posted on 22. Feb, 2010 by Jonathan Cherry.

A couple of months back we posted pictures of Hollywood starlet Kirsten Dunst dressed up like a Japanese cartoon character for what was suspected to be a music video or an ad shoot.

Turns out it was the former and here is the resulting cheesy tune. It just reminded us how much we really love Hello KItty products!

For a Friday: The new Kalahari.net ad

Posted on 19. Feb, 2010 by Jonathan Cherry.

It’s a Leon Schuster rip-off, which was a bit lame when we first saw it – but it made us search for stupid Leon Schuster candid camera videos on Youtube now – so we like it.
