Trigon

These commercials for Trigon BlueCross BlueShield might be the cutest things I have ever seen.  The little boy is absolutely adorable with his voice and dimples.  Although I have never heard of Trigon and now with research I have found that they are not around with BlueCross BlueShield anymore, I think these ads are still very clever and really caught my attention.  Having the cute little boy talk about getting strong from karate and somebody getting injured in a movie he watched is the perfect way to bring attention to healthcare without being boring.

Royal Wed...Er, After Party!

After all the constant talk about the Royal Wedding, I just found out that apparently Prince Harry has been planning quite the royal after party.

They are turning three State Rooms at Buckingham Palace into a nightclub.  There will even be cocktails chilled in treasure chests!  The party is supposed to go all night and into the morning until the 6 a.m. breakfast that will be served in the Palace.  A source said that "Harry is determined to make this a night to remember."  I really don't think that will be an issue!

The Importance of Fatherhood

This is one of the best advertisements I have ever seen!  My best friend showed me this commercial and it really made me think.  "More than 79% of Americans feel 'the most significant family or social problem facing America is the physical absence of the father from the home.' Research shows that the lack of a father in the home correlates closely with crime, educational and emotional problems, teenage pregnancy, and drug and alcohol abuse.  In an effort to show dads the critical role they play in their children's lives, the Ad Council has partnered with the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse and volunteer ad agency Campbell-Ewald to create a new PSA campaign that communicates to fathers that their presence is essential to their children's well-being. The campaign provides fathers with the information they need to become better dads."  I think this ad is great and teaches a wonderful lesson.  My dad means so much to me and I don't know what I would do if he wasn't such a great father figure.  He has always been there for me and has played a huge part in shaping who I am today.

Quite Disturbing

Victoria Looseleaf on The Looseleaf Beauty Report shows off a secret to aging!  Yeah, right.  This commercial is disturbing on many levels and there is no way that I believe that the facial-flex actually works.  The product looks like mouth gear and by doing flexing exercises with it in your mouth it is supposed to firm the jawline in just a few weeks.  It is totally worth the scary watch because in the end it will just make you laugh.  I have seen some weird infomercials before, but I think this one takes the cake.

Tom Ford's Racy New Ad

Tom Ford has recently launched a new campaign of advertisements for his new Neroli Portofino bath products.  The ads featured two models in a steamy shower scene completely naked.  There is much controversy about the risque ad.

Although the ad is quite racy, British department store Selfridges has gone and put up huge displays of the ads in their windows.  The ad display in the window has a overlay of moving water kind of like an aquarium.  This is sure to grab attention, both from consumers and the Advertising Standards Authority.

April Showers Bring May Flowers

As I was browsing the internet a few days ago, I noticed an advertisement on the side of the page.  It was for Burberry and it said "April Showers".  It really caught my eye with the rain, bright colors and beautiful British modes Sebastian and Cara.  The umbrella, purses, boots, sandals, and clothes are all gorgeous and really caught my eye.  I usually do not notice advertisements on the side of the webpage, but this one by Burberry was very intriguing so I had to click it, and I'm glad I did.

A Buckingham Palace guard has been cut of his duties for the Royal Wedding after he called Kate Middleton some rude names and wrote rude comments about her on Facebook.  He said referring to Kate and her future husband: "hur and william drove past me on friday n all a got was a shitty wave while she looked the opposite way from me, stupid stuck up cow am a not good enough for them! posh bitch am totally with u on this 1 who reely gives a f*** about hur".
