Congratulations Miami???

In case you missed it, Macy's ran an ad in the Monday edition of the Miami Herald congratulating the new NBA Champs, the Miami Heat. Wait...that's not right. Didn't the Dallas Mavericks defeat the most hated team in America four games to two. They did! So why did Macy's run the wrong creative in Monday's edition of the Miami Herald, I guess you will have to ask them yourself.

 
Unfortunately, this isn't the first time something like this has happened to Macy's. Back in 2009, Macy's ran an ad in the Philadelphia Inquirer congratulating the Philadelphia Phillies on their back to back World Series Championships (2008 & 2009). There was only one problem with that, the Phillies were not the World Series Champions in 2009, that honor went to the New York Yankees, who defeated them four games to two.

Its pretty shocking that a mistake like this can happen to the same company twice, and within two years of each other.

The New Face of AARP

Just when you thought Betty White had done everything! First, the Golden Girls, then starring in a Super Bowl commercial for Snickers, followed by a successful campaign to host SNL, now the official spokesperson for the AARP. Yup, you heard that correctly, Betty was the host of SNL in 2010. Just kidding, you already knew that or at least you should have known that. Nope the news here is that she has now landed a job with the one organization that she has probably already been a member of for the past 39 years.

The creative minds over at GSD&M in Austin, TX, snagged Betty White to front AARP's new campaign telling our seniors to "get over it" and join the retirement organization, even though it might make them feel old. In these two spots, Betty shows seniors how you can be old and still get the most out of life. Take a look and see. And for those of you 50 and over, feel free to join Betty and become a member of the AARP.



If you enjoyed that spot, take a gander at the other spot after the jump.....

Hey Losers!

Snickers and BBDO New York are at it again! This time Joe Pesci and Don Rickles team up for the latest installment of the "You're not you when you're hungry" themed commercials. Just like everyone of his acting roles, Joe Pesci portrays an irritable hothead in this spot. If you don't believe me, take a look and see.

Early Morning Wake Up Call

Quick survey for you:

- Has your dad ever took you fishing?
- Does he always wake up before the crack of dawn, to get started on the day?
- Has he ever used devilish means to get you out of bed in the morning?

If you answered yes to all of these questions, then I have news for you. I believe your dad is now staring the latest commercial for Walmart. Take a look and see.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers out there.

To commemorate this day, I have decided to post the one commercial that I feel shows the perfect way for a son to say thanks to his mom on Mother's Day. Enjoy!

The Real Reason Why People Climb Mt. Everest

Have you ever wondered why people decide to climb Mt. Everest? Could it be that they're insane, or that they are extreme thrill seekers or they have nothing else to do, maybe. Well Carlsberg, a Danish brewing company, may have finally shed some light on the real reason why people climb Mt. Everest. Take a look and see.

Its Now Time To Celebrate a Day With No Pants

If you didn't already know, the month of May has already had to important holidays celebrated. First, it was Star Wars Day on May 4th (May the fourth be with you!), and now its No Pants Day.

In honor of today being No Pants Day, I have decided to post the only commercial I know where people walk around and chant with no pants on. And to top that they are extremely proud of it. Without further ado, here it is:
