Gerrard - Clay Pigeons

Steven Gerrard kicks footballs at clay pigeons on the Liverpool training ground. Xabi Alonso launches the clays. This isn't easy and it took a few shots to get, but Gerrard nails it. Or is it old fashioned CGI.

End Human Sex Trafficking

Every year over 1 million young children and women are sold into sexual slavery. The U.S. State Department estimates 800,000 victims are trafficked across international boarders annually with 17,500 sold in the United States. Nearly 30% of the victims are between the ages of 9 and 15, and some as young as 5 or 6 years old. This $12 billion industry, protected by corrupt officials and an indifferent public, is growing larger every day. This ad is from MTV streaker, End Exploitation & Trafficking. Free your mind. But is it any good? We think not...

Head and Shoulders Knees and Toes - ALS Society

The ALS Society of Canada has launched a new campaign to raise awareness about Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and the ALS Society’s efforts to fund research towards a cure for the disease.

“We chose to create a spot that was musically and emotionally driven to raise awareness for ALS,” said Christina Yu, Vice President and Creative Director of advertising agency Lowe Roche. “This song is one which everybody can relate to and we wanted to use it unconventionally to illustrate how this disease eventually affects every body part.” (source:Osocio)

Best Air Race Pilot Ever

Last week the above video popped up on several blogs, generating almost 2.3 million YouTube views in just 11 days. The video is circulating widely on the internet as fact, when in fact it is a complete fiction. At first blush, the aircraft looks real and the wing separation seems authentic, at second though, the video appears to be an ad for German clothing manufacturer KillaThrill. The “pilot”, James Andersson, is supposedly a pilot in the Red Bull Air Race, but his name is not listed as such. (Source: Neptunus Lex, Reggie Paulk & viralblog.com)
