On The Ground Looking Up

If You Happen To Be REALLY Depressed

Don't know the original source, but that will make anyone happy.

Twinkies, You Let Someone Else Do This!

Artist Jennifer Rubell created this padded room (sometimes I need one of those), but the special bit about this one is that the padding was created from 1800 cones of cotton candy! According to Foodaddiction:

'It is an object that addresses the dark side of pleasure, the price of pleasure, the possibility that pleasure is its own punishment.’

I think there is a great opportunity here for a brand to use this idea in an interesting and attention getting way.

How To Catch Your Local Hipster

Lovely little artpiece making the rounds on the wire today. American Spirits, a can of PBR and a sweet little dealthy hipster trap seen on the streets of NYC.

An interesting statement is posed by Reddit user Rob4584

"ironically the guy setting the trap is clearly a hipster himself..."

Discuss.

UNICEF's Dirty Water

Just came across this on CGM and it looks like a great guerrilla campaign on behalf of UNICEF. In New York, the put a Dirty Water vending machine on the streets to highlight how many areas of the world suffer with disease ridden water.

People were able to purchase the water with the specific 'disease' they wanted and all $ went to charity.

Worst Product Idea Ever?

I have a clean...? That was the best you could do Shed Simove?? From the brilliant mind that brought you Credit Crunch cereal and the Designer Beaver. If I am not mistaken, this is one of the seven signs of the Apocalypse.

Stone Age Meat

People eat all kinds of unusual meat… alligator, buffalo, shark, bear, elk, Spam. But what about Sabertooth filet, Mammoth steak, and Dinosaur leg? Mmmmm.

To promote Bosch’s new VitaFresh refrigerator, DDB created a promotion where they placed three packages of Stone Age meat in a grocery store freezer for a week to show just how well VitaFresh worked. Sort of gross looking, yet begging to be picked-up and inspected. My question is, how many people put these in their cart and brought them to the check-out line?
