Video: Dynamite Surfing by Quicksilver
A great viral video I seem to have missed is “Dynamite Surfing” by sportswear company Quicksilver. It’s about some guys searching for a spot to ride the waves until one of them drops dynamite into the water. Boom!

Macs and PCs - no fight gets bigga, Surf Safari or browse in I.E., Better know what you rep(resent) - a Mac or PC!
Video: Fan-Created iPhone Advertisement
The boom around Apple’s iPhone has just started. Here is an advertisement created by Apple fans.
Sexy: Get String From Object
Geeky but very appropriate job advertisement by Netherlands based company Virgil to recruit programmers. Apparently getStringFromObject() is a JAVA command but in this context it obviously means something different :)
New iPhone Television Ads
Apple’s iPhone television ads have been published.
Video: Gas Is Precious. By VW
Great advertising around the issue of gas becoming more and more expensive. It’s not about love, it’s about gas. (TV-Commercials from France)

Malibu Rum’s Relaxed Brand Experience
Malibu Rum Austria relaunches its website with a massively enhanced brand experience. We, the Brand Infection team around Nader Cserny, have put the focus on transforming Malibu Rum’s slogan “Seriously easy going” into “Seriously easy web surfing”: a relaxed brand experience with a cozy beach atmosphere (ex. moving ocean waves) and supporting nature sounds. The user can either choose to explore the site by moving left/right on the beach (upper area) or by simply clicking the standard navigation at the bottom. The scenes are based on a 3D engine, so by clicking on specific objects the user zooms in or out of the area (ex. Games, TV-Spots) thus getting a more dynamic feeling.

Drastic Advertising Campaign Against HIV
The former German Tennis-Pro Michael Stich shocks the world with a drastic advertising campaign against HIV and I love the work his foundation and advertising agency Jung von Matt have done to draw the world’s attention to this massive problem.
“Between life and death is just 0,003 mm latex” is written on one billboard, “The eyes from the father. HIV from the mother” on another. You can view all the images from the campaign below.
Michael Stich, Wimbledon winner of 1991 founded his charity organisation 13 years ago. Next to the direct and indirect help for HIV-positive children the focus lies in the education and prevention of HIV- and AIDS. The current campaign wants to sensitize young people for Aids.
Your Name On A Piece Of Toast
Over and over again funny amazing what kind of ideas companies have. This time it is all about toasts and raising money for charity organisations like World Vision, Save the Children or others you can help decide on.
It works the following way: you give YourNameOnToast some money and they write your desired name or web address on toast in order to put it on their website. Your toast will act as a link to your website and the more you pay for your toast, the higher it will appear in the listings.
