This, that and the other

First...check out the Super Bowl Ad Review at Adland.

First Dunkin' Donuts, now P&G, seems like everyone is having at Starbucks.

A great Nike ad- out of Australia. A whole city gets caught up in a rugby game. Keep the Ball Alive. (Big file, may time a while to load.) And Keep the Ball Alive Reprise.

Neato way to watch time pass.

Yayayayyayayayayay! Dr. Zoidberg soundboard.

Durex condom ad. Funny.

Adage.com reports the new brand spokesman for Wendy's Interational is about to draw some attention. With a bullhorn clenched in his fist and an "I Love Wendy's" button pinned to his chest, the new character -- 'Mr. Wendy' -- takes the stage three years after the death of Wendy's iconic founder, Dave Thomas.

Giant Microbes-When you don't know what to get that special person...get them Black Death or Athlete's Foot. (via metafilter)

From adweek.com:
Burger King will return to its "Have it your way" positioning in a new television spot set to break Thursday night, the company confirmed.....Burger King abruptly shifted creative duties on its roughly $300 million ad account to CP+B, owned by MDC Partners, from six-month incumbent WPP's Young & Rubicam, New York, without a review. Y&R's advertising played up Burger King's flame-broiling cooking with the tagline, "The fire's ready."

Somewhat odd to go back to the old tagline. Not that it's a bad thing, but how common is it? I would think that it's not a usual occurance. The old tag is a better line than their "fire" one anyways as it has meaning. Too many tags mean nothing or say nothing about the product/service/etc these days.
