Video: Google G1 Phone Will Make You Funnerer, Smarterer.

Geez, these advertising companies just can’t seem to get it right these days, can they? The new Google G1 phone went official today with a T-Mobile launch in New York and we have the first commercial for it below. The video seems to be (poorly) targeting the hip kids out there when we all know this phone’s one for the geeks…Android OS and all. Get with it T-Mo.

Video: Three New Linux Microsoft Ads Go Live

After the announcement from Microsoft declaring the Gates/Seinfeld ads dead, the Redmond giant has moved to “Phase Two” with the launch of three new commercials (below). The ads feature a repetitive, ambiguous slogan which is quite infectious, but sure to grow old very quickly.

Video: Gates & Seinfeld No.2 Is Hilarious

The second installment of the Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld ad series aired tonight in the US and, I must say, is a huge improvement over the first one we saw last week. It’s still a little confusing, but this time ’round has a message, mentions the product and is hilarious. The duo are more comfortable with each other now and their awkwardness has abated.

Video: First Bill Gates & Jerry Seinfeld Ad Is Awkward, Confusing.

A few hours ago the first installment of the new Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld commercials went to air in the States and, well, it has to be seen to be believed (video below). The strained $10 million Seinfeld performance coupled with consistent deadpan delivery by Gates is awkward and confusing, yet somewhat addictive. It may be a case of “it’s so bad, it’s good”.

OMDM E-K50 II Mobile LED Advertising Display

OMDM has created a new mobile outdoor advertising display called the E-K50 II which is currently being exhibited at the CHITEC 2008 technology fair in Beijing.

One look at the display, while quite attractive, brings on visions of the dystopian nightmare in George Orwell’s novel 1984, with Big Brother monitoring you from telescreens everywhere you go.


The display is mounted on a white four-wheeled platform (which looks much like a convertible) to provide mobility and has built-in speakers to help convey the advertiser’s message.

LED’s are an energy efficient alternative to power-hungry neon signs. This reason alone makes it a very compelling choice for advertising companies. We’re bound to see more of them in the future.
