facebook rant response

Well Now, the sanitary napkins company has responded with a YouTube video.

The company has created a fantastic response from a fictional CEO who apologized to the poster, Richard Neill, after reading his rant against the company’s deceptive and misleading sanitary napkin commercials.

“We are always grateful for input from our users, but your comment was particularly poignant,” the company wrote in the video’s description. “If Facebook had a ‘love’ button, we’d have clicked it. But it doesn’t. So we’ve made you a video instead.”

The infographic compiles data from two sources: eMarketer and InternetRetailer.com.  And, according to the data,  the online commerce market in the United States will reach $279 Billion by 2015 and  Mobile commerce will grow to $28.7 Billion. Another predication, social media commerce sales will reach $30 Billion.

The top reason people don’t buy online is because they can’t physically touch the product.  This will continue to be an obstacle for online vendors to overcome, which we predict will continue to happen as consumers become more comfortable with online commerce.

sheen – fiat 500 abarth

Want to see that hot chick from Fiat’s Super Bowl commercial? Well, you can in a new video advertisement for the 500 Abarth.  The real star of the show however is Charlie Sheen who makes a humorous appearance after driving the Fiat around his mansion while under house arrest.  In the commercial dubbed “House Arrest” (see below), Sheen, donning a suit and ankle bracelet (which can be spotted as he exits the 500 Abarth), uses the interior of his opulent home as his own personal race track during a raucous party.  Of the appearance of the aforementioned said hot chick, Catrinel Menghia who was in Fiat’s Super Bowl ad, Sheen asks, “What do I get for good behavior?”

Of course, Sheen’s never actually been under house arrest???  but the concept is still funny.

steve nash after practice

We could not do a post about The Kobe System in Funny In Advertising without adding a post about Steve Nash and call it Really Funny In Advertising.  Granted, The Kobe System ads are funny.  In our opinion though, they don’t come close in the humor department to any of the ads coming from or starring Nash over the last year.

In these two Toyota Prius spots, Steve Nash, NBA player and Canadian is REALLY FUNNY.  They start off as your usual sports ads, with Nash talking about working hard and becoming a better person through determination. But they end with him being, hmmm…. an a^&hole, to an old lady and some kids.

See more of Steve from his production company, Meathawk.

The message in this sexy ad with Adriana Lima from TeleFlora is pretty simple – Give Flowers Get Sex.  Her suggestive and sexy advice to men for Valentine’s Day? Give flowers, get sex in return. The talking-flowers commercials from recent Super Bowls were pretty amusing, but clearly this company is done trying to be clever and will now be a little more direct and just give men a concrete reason for making a romantic gesture. Kia and Teleflora could both owe Lima a giant bouquet of flowers after Sunday.
