TAG RESULTS FOR: campaign

Waveform jewelry is nothing new to nerds like us. After all, we previously covered a wedding ring that had the waveform for “I do” engraved into the side. You can read about that here. But much like the Eagles’ classic hit, there’s a new kid in town. The Sound Advice project produces all sorts of jewelry based on custom waveforms. Believe it or not, the project is sort of an anti-drug campaign but never mind that nonsense. At $18, it’s... Continue reading

I wish I had a better excuse for why we post so many things related to toilets. I really do. But hey, who doesn’t love something related to a place we get to spend quality time at? This toilet paper is part of a promotional campaign from bag manufacturer Crumpler. 100,000 rolls of this stuff will be distributed, crass design and all. Each painting suggests you fill it in with the color brown. I’ll leave the rest up to your... Continue reading

Barack Obama is taking his campaign to the virtual space that is gaming in an attempt to appeal to gamers everywhere.

Only ten states will be able to see the ads (once updated through Xbox’s Internet service): Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Indiana, Montana, North Carolina, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio and Wisconsin, which all happen to be swing states.The ads will be running until November...

Halloween is upon us, so we’re keeping our eyes peeled for some spooky home decorations that will surely scare the kids. What could be more frightening than pumpkin carvings of your favorite (or least favorite) politicians? Nothing comes to mind. These “campaign-o-lanterns” offer a slew of PDFs you can use to begin carving your political pumpkins. I don’t know about you, but a Sarah Palin pumpkin would scare the shit out of of me. Not crazy about politicians? How about... Continue reading

Supporting the Obama campaign can be tiring, unless you build your own stool out of the handlebars from your bike. Then of course, you’d ride your bike with no handlebars. Spotted on Make, Flickr user Xnedski found this Obama supporter carrying bike handlebars. As you can see, this man carries his handlebar stool everywhere. It beats wearing a garbage bag for a seat.

If you were one of three people on the planet who enjoyed the Jerry Seinfeld ads from Microsoft, I’ve got some bad news: Microsoft is moving to “phase two” of its ad campaign. That means no more Jerry, no more churros and no more of Gates doing the robot. The next phase of Microsoft’s plan is to crack counter shots back at Apple by specifically targeting its ads which have propelled the Apple Windows feud in the first place. Bill... Continue reading

When $300 million dollars is spent on advertisements involving Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates shopping for shoes, it makes me think, “What’s this got to do with Microsoft?” Well, Microsoft wants you to know that it’s more hip than Apple. The two things that make Jerry Seinfeld cool in this video: 1. He’s eating a churro. 2. He showers in his clothes in the morning, “You’re dressed, then you’re clean. Open the door, go about your business.” The sad thing... Continue reading

Microsoft no longer wants to sit idly by as Apple’s advertising campaign bashes it, making it look like an old geezer in front of all those hipsters who watch TV. Everything about Microsoft’s $300 million advertising campaign has been quite ‘hush hush’, that is until now. “They are not seen as cool,” says Robert Passikoff, president of Brand Keys, a New York branding firm. “Apple is cool. Can anyone even recall a Microsoft ad? No.” So, Microsoft recruited Jerry Seinfeld... Continue reading
