How do you show a fruit juice is all natural? Make the fruit grow into the form of packaging. Super cool idea from a Brazilian agency ageisobar.

I’d need to “via” everyone in the world. That’s how great this is and how often it's been posted.

I love St. Patrick's Day. Hysterical ad for Guinness.

Well, I guess I'm their target audience… and I love these. So, bravo. (via)

This is awesome. It's a 2 minute commercial I actually want to watch. It's a testament to great writing and production. The graphics make me happy.

A handlebar mustache IS right for every occasion. Sorry Heineken Light.

Little known fact: I used to walk around laughing like Ernie. Drove my mother crazy. (via)

Even if you don't know anything about this video game or you don't like Batman — I think you'll agree this is an excellent commercial. Well-written and nicely acted.

I love these. I wish I saw them on TV more. And yes, it makes me want to buy a new Focus, but I already have one... Puppets come right after The Slowskys.

Holy shit they're back. And they have a baby. I still maintain that a show about these turtles would have worked over cavemen any day.

Freaking brilliant.

Agreeing with Shaun that the bottle is ugly (And the name's a little hokey). But the concept is very cool and I like the execution of that. Doubt I'll buy it, but I'll watch the video over and over. :)

Yo Nissan I'm really happy for you and Imma let you finish, but VW has the best car commercial of all time.

I really did think this was my favorite car commercial of all time:


But, I think it's been replaced:


I'm a sucker for Star Wars.

Only made more awesome™ by the fact that Robert Downy Jr. is the voice of Mr. Peanut.

Makes me wish I was going back to school.

As it turns out, the Obama administration put $13.4 billion of the aid money as “working capital” in an escrow account when the company was in bankruptcy. The company is using this escrow money–government money–to pay back the government loan…

Sean McAlinden, chief economist at the Ann Arbor-based Center for Automotive Research, points out that the company has applied to the Department of Energy for $10 billion in low (5%) interest loan to retool its plants to meet the government’s tougher new CAFÉ (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards. However, giving GM more taxpayer money on top of the existing bailout would have been a political disaster for the Obama administration and a PR debacle for the company. Paying back the small bailout loan makes the new–and bigger–DOE loan much more feasible.

In short, GM is using government money to pay back government money to get more government money. And at a 2% lower interest rate at that. This is a nifty scheme to refinance GM’s government debt–not pay it back!

GM boasts that, because it is doing so well, it is paying the $6.7 billion five years ahead of schedule since it was not due until 2015. So will there be an accelerated payback of the rest of the $49.6 billion investment? No. That goal has been pushed back, as it turns out.
