You meet a lot of strange and colorful individuals through all different kinds of animated features and shows. The genius minds over at Slate.com decided to create an amazing spectrum of color utilizing various different animated characters throughout time in honor of The Smurfs releasing this past weekend. There are so many iconic figures in this wheel that it brings way too much nostalgia that I might strike a tear. Doubtful since I removed my tear ducts in a surgery last fall.

Personal Challenge: Avoid Movie Trailers

Long ago I would have embraced every ounce of marketing a film would have to offer. Teasers, trailers, clips, set photos, posters, and TV spots were all on the table as I readily accepted each into my palette before I watched a movie. NO MORE I SAY! I was blind, but now I see!

How stupid could you be to ruin a movie for yourself before you even step into a theater to see it?  As a personal challenge to myself I will not be partaking in any viewings of any teaser trailers, theatrical trailers, clips, or TV spots for The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers, Superman: Man of Steel, or The Amazing Spider-man. Find out how this all began after the jump!

“Taste The Rainbow” Takes On A Whole New Meaning (NSFW)

The creative team of TBWA/Chiat/Day are no longer at the helm of the Skittles account, but that won’t stop freelancers from making their own concoction of fantastical ads for the rainbow candy. The creative minds over at Cousins, a video production company out of LA, decided to make a nice little parody of the brand that goes far beyond your A-typical “sex sells” commercial.

As the title of this post suggests, this ad is a tad unsuitable for the workplace so please take caution. Their work is in no way affiliated with the Skittles brand or Wrigley, but produced just for the sheer comedic value capitalizing on the weird tradition of Skittles ads that have taken place as of late. Watch the little diddy after the jump!

Have you missed your favorite Old Spice guy Isaiah Mustafa lately? Well fear not, Wieden+Kennedy has brought him back to duel the hairlicious Italian spokesmodel Fabio to prove who is the true Old Spice guy. While Isaiah Mustafa was probably saving baby seals with a laser gun that extracts from his chest, Fabio got it in his thick hair that he should be the new Old Spice guy. (The fact that they still label Isaiah Mustafa just as “Old Spice Guy” is pretty funny and sad.) This epic duel of man candy went back and forth this week “Baño a Baño” to settle who is the true “Old Spice guy.” And as the short viral campaign closed the true victor was declared by the people! Be sure to watch the epic battle unfold after the jump to see how it all started and who was crowned victorious!
