Catching birds in flight... This image is pretty disturbing, but according to the creators, it supposed to make us aware about our environmental impact on Earth: (besides the bird is not real)

"Don't buy exotic animal souvenirs":

Using animals (apes) for the various youth movements caricature:





"Museum of Communism" ads feature more political leaders:



We featured work of Thomas Herbrich before, so here are some updates:



Stress Call Center, and a bug working inside the computer (familiar themes...) -

What happened here?

Very good work by Jonathan Kitchen:




Free at last!

Wash your hands! "You eat what you touch" -



A few car-related ads:

Bringing the Post-it Art to the extreme (remember our Post-it Office Pranks?), these Honda ads can be impressive, when viewed large (click to see full-size) -

"Don't Spend Your Life in Traffic":




What looks like a Red Army robot is trashing "Accord". Why?



The chickens do not need to cross the road any more:



A lure of photography:

In case you missed this ad campaign during Bejing Olympics, here it is:
Hanging Spoon Champion... Fish Slicing Champion.... Weight-lifting champion... - all "Not Good Enough for Bejing!" - click to enlarge:





A few viral urban ads:

Beer in bus, where you don't really expect it:




Here is an interesting billboard, teaching you a new language:

Even grass is not immune for promotional schemes any more:
(this one was done for the launch of the Simpson's movie, more info)

Homer Simpson was painted next to the 180ft giant in the hillside above Cerne Abbas, Dorset - an ancient fertility symbol, which has been there for many centuries.

Using shocking faux-death scenes is getting to be quite popular:





Go on, make your usual grocery trip. You may encounter some sights you did not bargain for -

On the street: Begging Sculptures. "My Cathedral Needs Your Help" -



Turning the whole street into a blue river:



Inside the elevator:



On a street corner:



At the supermarket:







Check out this tongue-in-cheek packaging:



In the washroom:









In the swimming pool:



At the train station:



In the tunnels:



At the bus stop:



In your local park - protesting hippies stuck forever, due to a certain lock:



In your kitchen (ingenious ice tray) -



At some Asian restaurant ("Can't hate everything"):



At your local pub - Balancing three pints of Guinness as part of a marketing trick:



Famous Banksy can use literally any part of street landscape to make his point:



Can't get enough of this marketing campaign... really makes you stop in your tracks and re-consider what you're place in life is, what your job situation is like, and how you're infinitely better off than these poor unfortunate souls (even if your boss is a psychopath).

Here is one location that we did not feature before: an soft ice cream machine -



Similar approach: totally freaky vending machine... Get Your Own Goat!!



And a priceless idea - An Anger-Release Vending Machine:



Cool use of a spare wheel:



Great play on your traffic woes:



Old and boring billboards can be greatly enhanced, when designers start using other elements of urban environment :

Using raised bridges:



Using weird building profile:



Using the power of wind:




Using old building's corner:



A case of billboard ad gone hilariously wrong, obviously in haste of preparation for Olympics -
(somebody used Goggle translation engine, not checking for the language nuances - "World" and "Peace" are the same words in Russian)



More of the same:



Finally, radically different kind of banner - a subliminal one:



All these ad masterpieces are infinitely removed from the kind we saw in the 70s and 80s:
(although these too have some charm, of a different kind)



Even more charming... 1940s recycling ad -
