Road Safety: Bleeding Billboard

I agree with some of the people that think its a good message... but also horrible message because that's creepy enough to distract drivers.

The PUMA Index

Sexy stuff...Puma has created a great application to help monitor your stock portfolio. They have created a stock ticker that has models removing their clothes as the market dips, and putting it back on as it raises. Each model is decked out in Puma from head to toe. Obviously they are banking on people wanting to see their models in their nickers, but its a neat approach at creating something thats functional and fun. There are different models for the different markets around the globe with male and female varieties for each. Overall they have taken something that is normally boring, bland and, riddled with boring financial data, and have turned it into models taking off their clothes (Puma clothes), Brilliant. Love the fact that it correlates with real data, making it a viable stock ticker for those that actually like nudity with their finances in the morning.

Halo 3: ODST Live Action Trailer "We Are ODST"

This is pretty cool. It seems to me that video games are now more than ever integrating short films in their advertising. This has become an art form that captures and displays the true experience of playing the game. Halo and Gears of war have mastered this advertising in so far in my opinion has mastered this art.

THE PLAYFACE

Yes this very cool...why did i not think of this. Use players facial reaction for and Ad and call it "The Play Face".

The Official Level 26 Trailer

CSI creator Anthony Zuiker is trying to get deeper under your skin. The father of the forensics franchise is attempting to bring new life and dimension to the publishing world with the "digi-novel" Level 26, a multiplatform story that begins with a book and continues onto the web.

"I wanted to do CSI on cocaine," Zuiker says in the story's behind the scenes video. The tale follows FBI agent Steve Dark and his pursuit of Sqweegel, a killer who could have Hannibal Lechter for lunch. As the story goes, law officials classify murderers on 25 levels, but this fiend surpasses them all, having burned, strangled, shot, tortured, raped, maimed more than 35 people in 23 years, and in six different countries. And he happens to be a creepy contortionist too.

Readers take in the book (the first of a trilogy) 20 pages at a time, after which they're prompted to go to level26.com and input pass codes to view what Zuiker calls "cyber bridges," film clips that continue and enhance the narrative. The site also serves as a platform for readers to share in the experience, create profiles, contribute their own content—basically, a "haven for people who want to buy into the mythology of Level 26," says Zuiker.

Zuiker co-wrote the book with comic book and crime writer Duane Swierczynski and enlisted EQAL, the team behind "lonelygirl15," to create the Level 26 site. Marc Ecko created illustrations for the novel, which is published under the Penguin imprint Dutton.
