This is one of a series of creatives for a Brazilian campaign aimed to get people to make good use of their old books. "Don't throw out your books," it implores. "Donate them."
You wouldn't want to make Pinocchio homeless, would you?
This is a clever campaign that was developed for the Red Cross in Colombia to encourage people to give blood, with the tag line "one life saves another one." As the creative suggests, there's only one to fill the tubing in the name. You can see other creatives in the series here.
Absinthe rocked the world of Paris a century or so ago, with such pervasive and controversial force that it was called the "green fairy." You can see a famous 1890s painting of said fairy, and much else about the liquor that's been enjoying a reconstituted revival, via this link.
Martha is baking me a cake that has two of my favourite ingredients: chocolate and coffee (espresso, to be exact). I came across this ad, produced a few years ago for the Italian manufacturer Zaini and its Kofli products.
For more chuckles, check out these other Star Wars-related ads.
This is an interesting ad from Canal+. Personally, I'd rather watch a film with subtitles that one dubbed into English; the latter always seems to be clunkier.
When you're sleepy, very sleepy, you are going to collapse. Imagine the feeling when you're doing something like driving. It makes me shudder, and the thought goes through my mind when I'm off to work at odd hours of the moring. (And then there's the nightcap crowd, and that's a whole other story.)
"Sleepiness is stronger than you" is the tag line of this Thai Health promotion. I saw it on the advertising blog We'll Be Right Back.
Something for the long weekend. As seen here.

They're by Ïve Bastrash, a Canadian illustrator, and they have such a charm of their own, you wonder about what the movies themselves might have been like with such a style.
I would wager that most advertising professionals would each come up with different lists and multiple variations, although it's likely the well-known ads in this infographic would score well among the aggregate picks.
It's interesting to see how long many of the best-known slogans have been in use, or at least been part of the way we talk.
It's been a long, long time since I've had a Pop-Tart, and yet this parody title rang a bit true.
There's more here, including You Will Never Eat These Outside of a Theater (a.k.a., Junior Mints).
... under my feet, every time I brew up a batch of coffee.
These retro-minded ads were spotted on, of all things, I Love Retro.
This is a very simple yet potent creative for an Amnesty International campaign on digital freedom. I spotted it here.
I am a journalist with CBC News in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. I'm taller than I look. This blog has been running quietly since 2004.
