Ice cream shooting out of a man's jeans - hm, pretty weird!
The largest real money online gambling site in the world, Pokerstars, offers one-minute glimpse of a successful life as one of its players through elliptical references to daring deeds and bold choices from a variety of individuals. The fact that it's shot in black and white adds a touch of old-style elegance. What do you think of it? Glamorisation of what can become a dangerous addiction? Or a cool ad that captures the excitement and entertainment of its subject area really well?
Every single day, 1.8 million kilograms of the UK's plastic waste is exported to other countries. In this arresting footage, titled 'Downing St Disaster', environmental organisation Greenpeace asks and answers the question: What would it look like if that exact amount was dumped on Downing Street? Located in the City of Westminster in London - hence the 'Wasteminster' parody tag - Downing St houses the official residences an... Read More

Positioning itself pretty firmly at... Read More

Awareness of the issue has been heightened in various ways over recent years. What do you think of this ad by William Hill to encourage the notion that we all need to set our limits? It plays on the idea of how ridiculous a football game would look without such boundaries. Useful?

The Chinese company's product has clearly come on in leaps and bounds in terms of anti-gravity stability and recovery from fall time. How do we feel about this whole thing? Some are apologising - not entirely jokingly - to the robots of the future about misuse / abuse / attack by humans. Others point out in a practical spiri... Read More
