Inspired by some searching I've just done.

TV adverts get right on my nerves, and I have no love for Corporation Nike, but the Nike: Good vs Evil advert from about ten years ago is a masterpiece. The link is for the short (1 minute) version on You Tube.

Watch it, and try to guess why the nannying British government banned it.


Edit: A longer version The intro bit isn't in English, but it's a much better picture, and it's the visuals that really make it.

Isn't it just? There was a longer version, but I can't find it. It's got some great footballers in too, which is a nice touch.

I love that new starburst ad. Two of them. The one where the guy takes that kids stuff (dog, bike, shirt, helmet, food) and the one where the guy throws the other kids food on the ground.

I've added a longer version of the Nike Good vs Evil add at the start - it's got a much better picture too.

Seriously, it's awesome.

I like the commercial for some job website with all the chimpanzees partying because sales are up until the guy turns the sign around and says sales are down, so the chimps just turn the chart back around. I love that.

Right now I like that Renault Clio ad with the British guy and the French woman arguing which country is best. But only because the woman in it is totally amazing.

I like the Mac-PC ads. Those are consistently my favourites.
