Rugby World Cup 2011 ads
Posted on 30. Aug, 2011 by Jonathan Cherry.
For whatever reason, we haven’t seen too many memorable Rugby World Cup ads leading up to this year’s tournament, which kicks off in just a few days.
But a small, tight collection of decent advertisements does exists – which we have now stumbled across. See them all here. [thanks Jonty]
Our favourite is the Mastercard Chester Williams ad [above], which you can read more about here.
This ad, featuring Sean Fitzpatrick urging Kiwis to Abstain for the Game has since been banned after it caused something of a national barney. Could be a sign of cracks showing already.
Something from Heineken…
…and Coca Cola.
Kind of a pity these aren’t being flighted on TV at the moment, but maybe it’s a few weeks too early.
Yarn bombing: Jamie Lee Curtis visits the Old Biscuit Mill

In the 80′s Ronald Reagan, aerobics and leg warmers were huge. If you were alive in the 80′s and didn’t hang out in an aerobics class sporting woolen warmers you were less than noticeable as this [slightly NSFW] clip from the movie Perfect demonstrates.
With a ‘leg warmer yarn bombing’ at the Biscuit Mill on Saturday and the name of Virgin Active been thrown around as being behind it – could we be seeing the return of Jamie Lee Curtis, leotards, leg warmers and the Axel F sound-tracked studio session? Awesome!

A mixture between Danny Macaskill and Prince of Persia, this guy is unbelievable.
We were wondering wherefore Ard thou tactical anthem ads

Update:
Seems that [of all brands] Van Schaik – the tertiary education bookstore, have also taken the opportunity to do some tactical advertising. [thanks Andrew]
You’re going to be needing good luggage if stuck in a swamp

Not sure about the idea behind this Jolie / Louis Vuitton swamp-stranded wooden boat vibe.
But the rich obviously dig it. Always good to rough it just to make sure your luggage can handle it.

Much harder than what it seems – like something alien. New from Improv Everywhere.
Professional cyclists started the shop looting thing in the 70s
Posted on 19. Aug, 2011 by Jonathan Cherry.
Seems that the kids in the UK may just have been following the lead the professional cyclists set way back in 1974.
Rules and sponsorship and money seems to have spoilt all of that.
