I don’t know what Mannings is advertising here, but it’s a lovely story of selfless devotion nonetheless. A Babelfish translation of the related site offered no help, but if you can read Chinese, you may be able to clue us in. Link -via Everlasting Blort

If this were in my local paper, I’d help pay to have a picture of the cat posted. After all, there are young people who don’t know what Barbra Streisand looks like. -via Criggo

Good For Me

Posted by Miss Cellania in Advertising, Environment on May 16, 2011 at 9:09 am

DDT {wiki} is a pesticide that was used extensively in the US from 1939 until it was banned in 1972. It was very effective in controlling insects that spread typhus in Europe and malaria in tropical regions, but it also accumulated in the ecosystem, killed wildlife, and was found to have harmful effects on humans as well. But in the 1940s and ’50s, pesticide companies promoted DDT as the cure-all for everything. This 1947 ad gave quite a few reasons DDT is “good for me.” See the rest of it at Mindfully.

Wham-O Wheelie Bar

I never bought a wheelie bar, but this ad from 1966 brings back memories of doing stunts on my old spider bike, like standing on the seat… Then my mother instincts kicked in. Hey! These kids aren’t just riding without helmets, they aren’t even wearing shoes! And who encourages their kids to do wheelies, anyway? Things sure have changed in 45 years! -via Nag on the Lake

This ad is found at the beginning of American versions of DVDs from the BBC. You think it’s an anti-piracy warning, but it turns into a friendly ad for the TV network. Of course, the required amount of British humor is included. -via reddit

One-Cent Hotel Rooms in Venice

Posted by Miss Cellania in Advertising, Travel on August 15, 2009 at 7:13 pm

An advertising mistake will costs thousands of euros for the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Venice, Italy. An online advertisement posted a room price as one-hundredth of a euro per night instead of 150 euros ($213). Before the ad was changed, 230 people booked 1,400 room nights at that price.

The company say the mistake was made at the offices of IHG in Atlanta, Georgia in the United States.

“Although a pricing error, IHG is committed to honouring the 1-cent rate for guests who have a valid confirmation,” the hotel group’s Monica Smith said.

The total cost of the mistake could be 90,000 euros (or $128,000). Link -via Digg

Face Detection Camera Ad

Posted by Miss Cellania in Advertising on December 22, 2008 at 11:13 pm


Face detection technology is a popular feature in digital cameras. Nikon’s latest ad campaign focuses on the feature, bragging that the Nikon S60 can detect up to 12 faces. The ad are both funny and creepy! The other two at LA Weekly are even creepier than this one. Link -Thanks, Erin Broadley!
