Or if you prefer, removing the fourth wall. As part of their ongoing campaign to get us all drinking their beer, especially their Light version, Heineken have once more hired this blog to point you at a video. Point: In it we get taken behind the scenes of a video shoot . You know the [...]

So there’s this beer, right? Running an advertising campaign, see? And the advertising campaign is about how billboards become occasionally perfect, see? Just like the beer, always pretty good, but occasionally, just perfect? And my, my, aren’t parts of Chicago just occasionally perfect stand ins for the arse end of South London sometimes?

I have to admit that there’s a part of this ad which I really rather like. It’s the first bit, naturally. Something falls from the skies with a resounding thump…..what could it be?

This is really rather well done: At the Klaxon Institute, we help patients look good and feel good – and now we are pioneering a new way to help them do good. Our new reverse liposuction technique allows us to take the excess fatty tissue from our patients and inject this into the bodies of [...]

So Asus have asked me, in a sponsored post, to tell you more about their new Asus Sonic Master. Something I’m delighted to do of course as I’ve been a user of their laptops for a number of years now. The basic point of this new technology, over and above the usual Asus things (and, [...]
