Banned German Sprite Advert

This is an ad doing the rounds today which was banned in Germany for... well I think it's quite obvious why. Pretty random, and I'm sure quite uncomfortable to watch if you're one of Sprite's younger 'teenage' demographic watching TV with the parents, with a Britney Spears lookalike getting a 'Sprite Necklace' during the ad break.

UPDATE: It turns out that, yes, it was a fake all along! Although the original ad was pulled from YouTube, you can view below courtesy of Young Turks, and The Huffington Post.

'Three Keyboard Cat Moon Shirt'

Okay so first there was the 'Three Wolf Moon' shirt, which rather epically entered our lives a few months ago, with the classic reviews on Amazon.com which sent sales soaring 2,300%. Then there was 'Keyboard Cat' which featured 'Fatso' owned by Charlie Schmidt, wearing a blue shirt and "playing" an upbeat rhythm on an electronic keyboard. Well now there is the 'Three Keyboard Cat Moon Shirt', have we seen enough? Probably yes, but as always with the Internet you never know.

Durex - 'Condoms That Generate Desire' New advert

This is a new ad by Durex in France which certainly gives you a hint of the power contained within this prophylactic. Works brilliantly to the sound of ABBA, as the wrapper floats through the streets causing havoc, revealing the tag line 'Les préservatifs qui donnent envie' or 'Condoms That Generate Desire'.

Evian Roller Babies Advert

Personally I find this slightly terrifying (Ally McBeal has scared me for life), but everyone's raving about it and it is kind of cool. On youTube the original Evian Roller Babies Advert video currently stands at 3,349,133 views since the beginning of this month, and looks set to continue.





The ad has been accompanied by a website jam packed with interviews, videos, making of's, music, and loads of other goodies. The website is www.evianliveyoung.com/babies.

As part of the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen "extended film experience" campaign, which has been rolling out over the last few weeks co-ordinated by Paramount Pictures, a series of videos, images and conspiracy blogs are tracking the mysterious sightings robots in cities and famous landmarks around the world, including Tokyo, Berlin, Rome, Barcelona, Perth and even Machu Pichu.

Ultimo Bra Testing at Alton Towers

This is a great idea in theory, a large group of women testing out bras on some of the UK’s top rollercosters at Alton Towers. However for a viral you would think that there would be some subtle mention of the brands, a url, or even a video titles that suggests where it came from. As the title of the post suggests this happens to be for Ultimo, although I only discovered this from the YouTube discription. Maybe I’m being too harsh, let me know what you think. Great video all the same.
