Street performers in NYC subway stations are the first to debut songs from Oasis’ upcoming album. Not sure it will effect sales but it’s quite an original and clever promotion. Click photo below to see a short doc on the event.

McDonalds and Microsoft. Seriously? Yeah, seriously. The two have supersized a partnership that offers anyone who actually owns a Zune (I have yet to still meet such a person) free Wi-Fi in all 9,800 Mickey D locations. The logic here is, hmm…well, I’m not really sure. Perhaps Zune users enjoy surfing the net as much as they do high cholesterol. As if the Bill Gates/Jerry Seinfeld collaboration wasn’t bad enough.  [via Gadget Lab}

Nothing very original about misogynistic beer ads but this Australian spot says what a lot of guys are thinking. Just sayin’…

Having never appeared on TV, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences awarded Bud Light’s “Swear Jar,” the Emmy for Outstanding Commercial.  Arguably the right choice as this is one funny fu*%ing spot.

Ass slappin’ and boob huggin’ are just two of the many things kids in this McCann Erikson Romania-created commercial for Vodafone are doing that you or I would most likely get a black-eye. Ahh, to be a kid again!

Where’s the logic here? Does Best Buy really think they’re going to compete with Apple or Amazon? Mark my words, this is a bad deal and one that will result in a $121 Million dollar write-off. [via WSJ]

We really haven’t ever seen a better reason to vote. Declare Yourself, an ad campaign targeted at bringing out the youth vote, features Jessica Alba with the tag line “Only You Can Silence Yourself”. I’m pretty sure registering to vote will release her from her captors.

Coke Zero goes 007 for upcoming Bond film, “Quantum of Solace”. The gun-barrel detail and Daniel Craig’s mug on the bottle should make Money Penny start to drool.

I’m a huge fan of smart office humor and these Comcast spots, while a bit dated, still crack me up.

Kudos to Unconvention and their awesome commercial which debuts this week during the Republican National Convention. Business as usual…
