Dutch Language Institute (careful... "language" here)

(promoted to the top again, by popular demand)

You know, I love America. And God knows, I kid the Europeans about things like shower schedules and all, but let me tell ya... when it comes to ads like this, they really have a "coolness" advantage over us Yanks.

Sunday

Best Birth Control Ad Ever?

Yes, I think it just might be... the best birth control ad ever. And once again, props to the Euros for saying what we're all thinking (albeit, not in English)

Arnold Schwarzenegger: Strange Japanese Ad

Well honestly, I have no idea what the hell is going on in this one. But look at it just once and you'll know why I couldn't bear to NOT pass it on.

Monday

Epuron: "Wind"

Okay, so this is tough to understand, between the webby sound, the accent, and the deep voice, but... bear with it, because the payoff at the end is just fantastic.

Playstation: "Double Life"

To all those who claim that playing video games is just pure dorkiness... here's an answer from Playstation. Hey, even if a lot of the game players ain't cool -- including, ahem, me -- the commercial sure is, and has a Clio award to show for it. (Oh, and as a side note -- for all you gamers out there, let me make a shameless plug here for the Video Game Voters Network, a great org fighting against unfair regulation of video games).

Saturday

NEC: "Parabola/TV Guy"

Until the last few seconds, you'll be wondering what the hell is so great about this, but... then you'll get it, big time. Very clever.

Tuesday

John West Salmon: "Bear Fight"

Well, I love salmon but I fear bears so this has love/hate potential, but... hell it's just love. The boxing bear rocks.
