YouTube Hits: new Microsoft Zune ad, with unreleased N*E*R*D song
Our hipster brother-in-law My Chemical Toilet, you know, the one with the limp? Well, he’s just informed us of this new advert for the Microsoft Zune, which is actually a really good watch.
He made sure to remind us to let you know it’s featuring a new, unreleased song from N*E*R*D, called ‘Spazz’, but what we’re really watching for is the lovely Zune-a-licious colours.
Still think iPod ads are better?…
YouTube Hits: Latest Sony advert, 'Foam City'
Last week we speculated on what the next advert for Sony would look like, with a video set in London being our top pick.
Sadly, Sony didn’t choose the indie London video maker to direct their latest campaign for their Handycam and Cybershot ranges, instead sticking with their tried and tested agency which created the three previous advertisements.

YouTube Hits: unofficial Sony Bravia advert, shot in London
We’re a big fan of the Sony Bravia adverts, and it appears a YouTube user Kobayashi is too. The London-based animation director has created it with a budget of next-to-nothing, in the hopes it will attract Sony’s eye.
Keeping the bunny motif of the last (official) video, it shows off some of London’s most famous landmarks….

Bill, I think it’s time we called upon some massive favours here. Slash still available?…
CES 2008 fun starts already with goatse-inspired Anderinger advert
We’re all looking forward to CES here in Shiny Towers, with six of us bunking off to gamble and visit strip bars departing to Vegas to bring you the latest in consumer tech news. But needless to say, I’m looking forward to the show even more now after finding this ad for Anderinger’s showcase at CES over at Wired…does it ring a bell yet?
Oh yes, the shenanigans…
Sky warned over broadband speed claims – had better not do it again or else
Virgin Media and two members of the public complained to the Advertising Standards Authority over a Sky Broadband advert which boasted its service is faster than Virgin’s.
Being a Virgin Media broadband user myself I can attest that it almost certainly is, as is a letter taped to the back of a tortoise, but that’s…
Sony's fourth Bravia advert starring spools of cotton and The Great Pyramid
A new Bravia advert, so soon after the bunny one? According to Crave at CNet, it’s for their Egyptian market, because hey,…
Third Sony Bravia advert with Play Doh bunnies, bound to make your heart melt
You’ve seen the first advert with the bouncing balls and Jose Gonzalez’s soulful strumming of the guitar, the second one featuring a big London tower block with splashes of paint thrown at it, now here’s the third, and best, in my opinion.
Sony are claiming this Play Doh advert is the ‘most ambitious piece of stop-motion animation ever undertaken’, and…
